    I really love how the reporter’s tune changes. It’s clear that he wants to rip the Royal Family to shreds once more, but as Princess Alice reveals more of herself it disarms him and he’s even more fascinated.

      I love how his whole demeanor shifts as they talk. He clearly comes in looking to dig up some dirt and seems almost bemused as the interview starts. But once Princess Alice mentions meeting Sigmund Freud, he realizes 'Oh, damn, there's a real story here.' and starts taking her a lot more seriously.

      I would recommend Hugo Vickers book about her. She had a wonderful sense of humour and wit in addition to her bravery, charity, and generosity. During the German occupation of Greece, she organized soup kitchens and hid a family of Jews in her apartment. In her youth, she was a nurse near the frontline. She was simply a wonderful person.

      Sean Go - Indeed! Sadly, Jane Lapotaire's acting career in recent years (her senior years) pale in comparison to female actors of her age and generation: Helen Mirren, Charlotte Rampling, and Glenn Close to name just a few. These three all have title roles and very substantial parts in films and TV shows they appear in but not Lapotaire. Yet her acting style is so polished: delivery of dialogue, body language, facial expression. All near perfect. Mirren and Close have acting style signatures that are sometimes awkward or exaggerated. Close sometimes does a Katharine Hepburn mimicry that's cringy to be honest. Only Rampling can level up to Lapotaire, acting style-wise (my opinion, of course).

How sad that her courage was not shown. Also, Prince Philip did NOT see his mother taken away according to his biographers. He returned home from school to find that she was gone--and would be gone for years--which helps explain his sense of abandonment (he'd already been abandoned by his father, Prince Andrew) and resentment of his mother.

I'm sure there's a perfectly fine bus service!" 🤣 you know, funny because they're royal princesses and they'd be scandalized to ever stoop so low to ever take a bus unlike Alice who died penniless after having gave away all her possessions.

      It always seems strange to me that people will say someone was touched by God, no doubt your particular God. Instead of just accepting that perhaps she was a good and decent person who did more than one would expect. You have to include the supernatural as if you are elevating yourself by declaring a divine thing happened. You take away from her actual actions by insinuating that there was supernatural aid and I find that insulting to people who do good work all on their own.

      @@foulwin9719 I think she meant that life is a balance. With everything working against her and most people not being able to mentally survive what she went though, she came out with compassion and action for people that is rarely matched. You may be agnostic which is your right, but I'd like to think that God had other plans for her. That of course is my right.

    A very moving scene that was well acted. But more important to that is the actual person who was behind it. That is what I think we need to remember here. She was a real person and a person who suffered greatly. Especially from her family and her husband. But she turned her life around, devoted it to God, and made her life stand for something. I think that's a lesson all of us can and should take.

Awards aren't necessarily a gauge of talent but I am glad as an American she did receive formal recognition here. And she has definitely been busy in her home country. Brava!
