This is a fascinating episode. Is this series an accurate portrayal of events. I have to admit to knowing little about Prince Philip. If we are to believe this, he managed, because of his family position, to escape a horror show. He ends up in Scotland at a harsh, "character-building," school. At first he is pompous and condescending. This just gets him beaten up and hated. But a family tragedy causes him to face the realities of the world. When he goes home for the funerals of many of his family, he is despised, as he walks down the streets of a Nazi infested world. Our other focus is the young Charles who is small and weak. He has been bullied at his previous school and Elizabeth wants him to go to Eton. But Philip insists on his attending his school because he knows Charles's propensities and thinks the harsh environment will make a man out of him. The results are very interesting.
