James Colthurst ( Oliver Chris) awaits her arrival. He marvels at his wife’s thoughtfulness and expresses sincere “gratitude” for making him a better person - proving the House of Windsor has a lower bar for acts of love than Dobby in Harry Potter.Įlsewhere, Princess Diana ( Elizabeth Debicki) is late to a press appearance at a local hospital, where her friend Dr. Elizabeth’s simple suggestion to complete a pretty low-effort act of basic human decency elicits total awe on Philip’s part. After the funeral, he laments the child’s death but only considers paying a courtesy visit to his grieving godson when his wife and Queen ( Imelda Staunton) tells him to. The interview ends when an aide informs Phillip of the grave news that his godson’s daughter, Leonora Knatchbull ( Clara Graham), has died of cancer. The language barrier and a circling hawk repeatedly thwart Phillip’s explanation for how he fell in with his “second family,” which highlights a couple of things: 1) this episode will be about telling your story, 2) Phillip is distracted easily, 3) he is laughably and proudly out-of-touch, and 4) it was a slow news day in Poland. Episode 2 of The Crown Season 5, "The System," opens with Prince Phillip ( Jonathan Pryce) as he struggles to tell a Polish female reporter how he became “obsessed” with his newfound hobby of carriage riding.
