Why Does Everyone Act Like Elizabeth II Is Stupid?

They devote an entire episode to this question, and if you want the answer: re-watch her interviews with Lord Salisbury and Winston Churchill and tell me she's stupid OR weak. To me the most shocking thing is how many folks around her lie to her: the whole last episode of season one regarding the full details of the law that Margaret has to comply with; "Oh, did we forgot to mention that little detail? Sorry about that." If this had been Elizabeth I instead of Elizabeth II, a whole bunch of people would have been relieved of their heads, starting with her super-annoying spoiled brat of a husband. He did his job with Charles and Anne, so why was he permitted to keep sucking up oxygen?

one and not the other at the same time
Well, exactly, one and NOT the other.
Perhaps you were saying that she alternated between brilliant and weak? Or she was weak overall but with certain flashes of brilliance? -

No, I was saying she may have been smart, but weak. Or strong, but unintelligent. She may have been bot strong and intelligent, or weak and unintelligent. But you can be one without the other. In my view she was uneducated, not unintelligent. But as I said, they aren't mutually exclusive, she could be one and not the other.

Education cannot make a stupid person smart.
I've done tutoring in high school and college and this is mostly accurate. You can see some improvement, but you can't build a new brain.
