In the second episode of The Crown season 2, a reporter tries to get an interview with Philip about his past. She tells him about himself, an exiled prince, when his mother was sent to a mental asylum, and when his father left them, pressing Philip for details. What the reporter has told him is all true information. When Philip was young, his family was exiled from is home in Greece. Prince Philip's father did, in fact leave the family, and his mum did get taken to a mental asylum. You can see, from Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip's wedding scene from season 1, (which was so last year) his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg dressed as a nun. Prince Andrew, his father, was not at the wedding.

I will keep you posted on royal news, The Crown, and of course, the royal wedding.

Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v...
