When Edward VIII, the Duke on Windsor (the incredible actor Alex Jennings) cries at the end of this episode I could not but cry with him as well!
If I haven't reworded ten times the scene where he tells Tommy Lascelles and the archbishop off... absolutely brilliant!!! I couldn't stop laughing...
His is one of the most emotional performances I have ever watched because it is impossible not to sympathise with him while still played with such elegance and delicacy...
This poor man must have suffered so much by being pushed aside as some sort of renegade, from his own family and his own country... and for nothing wicked at all.
I do really feel for him and I hope he can have the joy he could not have in life wherever his soul rests.
What a masterful episode and what a masterpiece he made of it.
