Reviews (2)
Although there are some minor or major digressions in the story of this episode (the divorce scandal of the supporting characters, the distrust of the government), the character of Phillip and his importance to the Queen and the royal family is again the main focus. Once again, the creators portray him brilliantly, without unnecessary moralising and pathos, in short, a man who sometimes makes mistakes, but at the same time abounds in high qualities.

The plot of the first and third episodes fit together nicely, I notice that the political events have moved more to the sidelines and much more space is devoted to relationships in the second season. Maybe this is good because it's clear that the royal family has two major tasks - politics and reducing inappropriate behavior of its members.
