Yawn.
QEII is a stick-in-the-mud. Philip is going through a midlife crisis which is painfully drawn out.
Two episodes were good.
1) Mining disaster in Wales that kills 100's of children. QE is remote, and then feels the sting of fully-justified criticism.
Prince Charles goes to Wales for three months to learn a bit of Welsh so that he can speak in Welsh when he takes on the roll of Prince of Wales at 21. He learns firsthand of the resentment the Welsh feel toward the English. Gives a brave, sympathetic speech at the end, but is then dressed down by QEII because royals are not to have opinions, not in public. They don't take sides.
Acting is excellent; writing is weak.
