I cant quite remember the last time a performance of an actress was so striking as was the one of Jane Lapotaire in this episode. Shortly before the end I had to pause and remind myself that this is not real, she is just acting... she is just amazing. The character she created was loving and broken at the same time. It seems that the only thing holding her together was the faith in god. What a fantastic portayal...

After the emotional intensity of the previous episode, this was just right. There is some humor (the scenes with Philip and Anne are brilliant) and great warmth and humanity. Jane Lapotaire has long been one of the greatest actors on the planet, and she is amazing as Princess Alice (and unrecognizable). Her character is beautifully written too. This episode has such warmth and decency. Plus it has Colin Morgan, getting to actually speak in his own Northern Irish voice! Anything is better if Colin Morgan is in it!

Really! Ignore the plot and the substance of the show and give it a 1 because of the Greek accent. I don't know the actress who played Alice. I only know her fact and her presence was awesome. It was dignified and touching. The whole business of the documentary, trying to get sympathy for the Royals actually happened. Phillip is a complex character and is so wound up in his subservient position. Following the Aberfam episode, this nicely segued into the next part of the story.

People moan about the accent, but I'm not Greek so I didn't care because the acting and storyline were superb!!

I found the Jane Lapotaire playing princess Alics just spell binding and amazing.

A brilliant episode, giving us more insight into Prince Phillip's past and family. Beautiful acting by Jane Lapotaire and Colin Morgan.
