This served to “humanize” the Queen and provide the public with a glimpse into her family environs. While the address was a tradition that was started by George V in 1932, the people never had a view into the Queen’s home before. First, the Queen televised her yearly Christmas message for the first time ever. But we do know two of his recommendations for the Queen were implemented later that year. We may never know if Altrincham actually had a private meeting with the Queen herself, as shown in The Crown, since her communications are mostly kept private. It was 64-year-old Philip Kinghorn Burbidge, an ex-soldier and member of the League of Empire Loyalists, who jumped forward to “defend the Queen.” He was fined 1 pound and told the court, “Due to the scurrilous attack by Lord Altrincham, I felt it was up to decent Britons to show some resentment.” As depicted in The Crown, the incident occurred when Altrincham was leaving a television interview. Did Altrincham actually get punched in the face? Yes, except it was a slap.
