2x08 Dear Mrs. Kennedy

@yni The scene about the clothes was to show that Jackie, even after her husband was killed, was still a pawn of the US State, The Queen Mother is 'us' with the expected reaction of sympathy/grief/horror/disgust, whilst The Queen shows her new understanding of how things work by realising it's the poor widow being paraded in front of the world's press to cement good feeling for the new regime. The final scene, in my opinion, was to contrast with the death of Diana, here The Queen judges the mood perfectly, and even breaks protocol to do it (the bell). In contrast she was seen as out of touch and unfeeling, when Diana died, sticking to rigid protocol (not flying a flag at half mast over Buckingham Palace, which only flies a flag if the Monarch is in residence, and none, if not). (Wrongly, as she was a grandmother protecting and comforting her grandchildren, in privacy, away from the glare of the Press)

@glasgow1975 thank you very much now all has more sense

I also suspect Elizabeth was horrified and felt compassion for Jackie—empathy even—when she realised the lack of a change of clothes for the First Lady was a political move. That she was given no choice but to parade about in her pink Chanel suit covered in her husband’s blood.
