I doubt many people who are interested in following the British monarchy would forget this... Prince Phillip as nephew to Louis Mountbatten was well connected...Prince Phillip may have been stateless but that doesn't make him less of a Royal. Though he was looked on by some with mistrust...for a good reason he was pretty racy as was his Father, Andrew of Greece... Apples and Trees. The interesting fact remains...Princess Alice was stone deaf...The makers of The Crown seem to have forgotten this...she was a prolific lip reader though but not when Louis Mountbatten's head is turns away or down?? Its also known she had a huge love and respect for her Daughter in Law...The Queen and for Royalty. So, I doubt very much if she would speak of her in such disrespectful terms.

And in contrast, todays royal families "marry into the wild", into ordinary families (for the want of a better word ... no judgement on the intinsic worth of those families is intended) that have neither significance nor an interesting past. I think this dillution of the aristocracy is the final act of the concept of western monarchies and I will see the end of is institutions in Europe during my lifetime. I think the downfall of monarchies is sad (and personally, I think constitutional democracies are better for the contiries/societies in the long term then pure parliamentry/republican or presidential systems), but if the majority of the people wants total egality, there's no room a monarchy can exist. So lets scherish all those intricate intervowings o all the historic family trees while they still exist. ;)

Characters with ice and poison in their veins that their faces were carved from iron rather than flesh. Suffice to say, Charles Dance is an amazing actor and love seeing his skills be applied to other roles such as these. The lady who plays Princess Alice is also a lovely peach.

Their parents were a genuine love match, their dad Prince Louis of Battenburg was a very affectionate & loving man even though he often had to be away at Sea as a hot shot Navy Officer & their mom was a very hands-on parent (which was a bit unusual for Royalty & Aristocracy). They were also a beautiful, photogenic lot & you can tell that the two oldest kids Alice & Louise (later Queen of Sweden) doted on their baby brothers George & Louis.

Miguel Carlo Barreda : Interesting fact about this actress. Her name is Jane Lapotaire. Back in the early 70's around 1973 I believe. She played the mother of the last russian tsar/emperor Nicholas II in a british tv mini-series about King Edward VII called Edward the King.

This is the best scene in the entire series. This episode is about people mourning the decline of the empire, and some men who were unwilling to let it go. I love this scene because I think it captures the actual moment the empire died. It would have happened just like this, in the last holdout's heart.

I love this scene.....their only scene together. Jeesh they should've had more Yes! Princess Alice deserves her own movie. Her line about the Battenbergs having no country....part German, part Greek (part Danish but yes, British also)part nowhere at all amused me. She herself never used the adapted name Mountbatten that her brothers and sister used. Her husband Andrew left her for his mistress. The clips on THE CROWN showing her younger self struggling with the schizophrenia are tough and when the family was reunited at Cecile's funeral, its heartbreaking. Philip's father shuns him and his mother can't recognize him. Charles Dance is one of those actors who can just say "Good Morning" and completely command your attention. His Lord Louis is sure lot more likeable than Tywin Lannister. I would would have loved for them to have talked more about the Mountbatten (AND WINDSOR) relations to the Russian Royals. The real life Anastasia was Alice and Louis' first cousin! (LATER NOTE....They do talk about the Romanovs in Season 5!)

PRINCESS Alice was truly a great woman. She deserved so much more. I wish we would have seen her more with charities while she was alive. There are survivors from Jewish persecution with generations of families that owe their life to Princess Alice. She did what was right, not what was popular. Only discovering too late that every royal in the world should have been following her example. Bless Princess Alice.
