Summary
This episode reveals how Prince Philip was the Windsors' most radical moderniser, and explores how he compensated for his emasculated status in one of the most daring experiments in modernisation attempted by the Windsors. The focus also falls on the formidable opposition that the young Queen Elizabeth II faced during her early years in the throne, as influential figures opposed her bearing her husband's family name, Mountbatten.
