for the wild fictionalisation of his life and the story of how his sister (RIP in peace) died in a plane crash.
Royal historian told the that Prince Philip was consulting his lawyers about the best course of action he could take regarding the show’s implication that he caused his sister’s death.
“I know Prince Philip consulted his lawyer about it, to ask ‘What can I do about it?’” said Vickers.
“He was very upset about the way that was portrayed. He was human. He could be hurt like anybody else.”
I need to see Prince Philip getting mad about on an episode of . We crown-ception.
In case you don’t dabble in I thoroughly recommend it, but allow me to explain why Prince Philip was royally pissed.
Philip’s sister Princess Cecilie died aged 26 after her plane crashed into a Belgian factory tower in 1937. She had just given birth in the air. Her Nazi husband and two sons also died in the crash.
makes out the reason Cecilie and her family were even on a plane from Germany to London was that Prince Philip was being a brat at boarding school and wasn’t allowed to come and visit her during the holidays. And so she decides to visit him instead.
In reality, Cecilie was flying over with her family to go to a random wedding, which makes a lot more sense.
During Cecilie’s funeral in the show, Philip’s father ( of Greece and Denmark) actively blames him for his sister’s death.
“I’m surprised he dare show himself here,” he says.
“Had it not been for Philip and his indiscipline she would never have taken that flight. It’s true, isn’t it boy?
“You’re the reason we’re all here burying my favourite child. Get him out of here.”
So yeah, Philip was mad because the show made out that Cecilie and her whole family died because of him. Makes sense.
It’s interesting to me that the royals even watched . They do realise the show was made to scandalise their lives, right?
