Plot Synopsis
Storyline
British empire monarch George V and his wife Queen Mary decide to hide their last-born son, Johnnie, from the public, being embarrassingly affected by epilepsy. While his protective elder brother is ruthlessly groomed for court life, Johnnie gets packed off to a country cottage on the royal estate Sandringham. With his full-time governess Lalla, a substitute-mother, he's abandoned to playfulness and virtual social neglect. The Great War and the Russian Revolution change life in Britain, also at court, even at Sandringham, where royal refugees are expected. Written by KGF Vissers

When Prince George mentions after the war ends that the exiled Kaiser and Austrian emperor can visit Prince John, two old men who are supposed to be Wilhelm II and Franz Josef are shown in their imagination. Franz Josef had died in 1916 and the exiled Austrian emperor was Charles who would have been aged 30 at the time. See more »Quotes

This is one of the best things I have ever seen on the television. The Lost Prince is the story of Prince John, who was the youngest son of George V, who was kept away from the public eye after he was diagnosed epileptic. The drama tells the story of Prince John, Prince George the second from youngest son, Lalla who was John's nanny and the King and Queen at the time - George V and Queen Mary.
The Lost Prince was very well made in every way, excellent performances from all the actors, including Bill Nighy, Gina McKee and Tom Hollander, especially Miranda Richardson as the Queen and the four child actors who played Prince John and Prince George. The scenery was very nice and the music was great.
The only criticism is that it should be on the television more, as it's a shame that now the only way you can see it is to buy it.
