I am not so sure they had an understanding (open marriage) or if she may have cheated on him, but after the way he openly disrespected her then I suspect he deserved it. Whether any of it is true or not, we know he turned into a real cad after her father died. He resented playing second fiddle to "the queen."

And certainly not Elizabeth - her father was put on the throne because of the scandal of one divorce (Wallis Simpson divorcing and wanting to marry King Edward) and she had also denied her sister permission to marry the person she loved as he was a divorcee. In later years, she was also known to be saddened her childrens’ divorces and for a long time refused to be seen publicly with Camilla or grant Charles permission to marry her. Elizabeth was a committed Christian and took her role as Defender Of The Faith very seriously. In the period that this episode is portraying, divorce was also still a social taboo

      It could be because they are stuck with it. In British law, all bills that affect the King/Queen, before they are presented to Parliament, must be submitted to the King/Queen, who can request changes. Any bill that abolishes the monarchy is likely to be blocked by the reigning king or queen. Any bill that passes Parliament is not law until the King/Queen signs his/her assent.

    The actor who played Prince Phillip in his younger years was so grating on the nerves

      He was terrific!! The behavior of a man who should have loved his wife better in his early year was annoying, Matt Smith did a great job!

      Philip was arguably the most important casting of the show. Claire Foy was always going to get the most screen time as Elizabeth, but it was essential to find someone who could make Philip charismatic and memorable for each scene he was in, particularly since his part was significantly less screen time and his character needed to be equally charming, loathsome and sympathetic. Matt Smith hit it out of the park.

    This is hilarious! However, it is far from the truth. It is a perfect example of misinformation for the masses. Poor people.
