Elizabeth A 09/04/2024 Fantastic acting, perfect from the entire cast, and a very touching story See more 08/30/2021 I really liked this 2 part documentary. Better than I thought it was going to be. Very heart warming. Definitely worth a watch. See more johann m 03/31/2018 A movie about the early 20th century, in which the Royal Family suffers the loss of King Edward VII and his successors King George V and Queen Mary have to deal with his youngest son Prince John, who has epilepsy and learning disabilities, as well as the entire First World War conflict and the loss of the House of Romanov, the Royal Family of Russia, who were all tragically murdered by the Bolsheviks. See more 01/22/2017 Somewhat touching story of the prince that lived a short life. Epilepsy kept him out of the family business and he had trouble learning and following. Meh, we play with the cards we are given (although inbreeding spoils the hand) and prince or not, it can be difficult. However, the prince was certainly as spoiled as can possibly be. The film epoch is very well recreated and we can witness the historic events unfolding related to the royal family. This in itself is worth the watch. See more 08/19/2012 Oh that BBC! Another wonderful production. Moving. Inspiring. All around really well done biodrama. Tissues a must by the time it all wraps up... See more 08/12/2012 Excellent miniseries by BBC, enjoyed every minute interesting no critics have reviewed this. It focused on the early years of George VI (Bertie) and filled in the gaps that The Kings Speech left out except his courtship. It even touched on the Romanov's assassination and the guilt George V felt after he discovered they where murdered. He had withdrawn the offer for asylum and was the Romanov's only chance of escape his decision sealed their fate. I liked how the film captures the relationship between the young Prince John and George. It also lightly touched on the reason why George developed his stammer and the great fear he felt towards his father during his rages. Interesting though that the Kings Speech never even referenced Prince Johns death or made a reference about him as Georges youngest sibling, this miniseries seems to indicate that the siblings where very close and spent more time together. I really wish historians knew more about this prince as he does seem quite the mystery and is one of the most interesting members of the windsor family. See more Read all reviews
