This is another neat insightful view of a Royal. We need to remember that these are people under pressure. To think that they wouldn't have some of the foibles others have is naive. If one went back in history, the Kings were beset with illegitimate children from affairs with scullery maids and other court employs. Phillip is on this extended voyage, going to various British properties and enjoying the adulation while the Queen deals with the affairs of state. Anthony Eden, suffering from his own bad decisions making in the Suez crisis, has dropped into deep depression and is heading off to Jamaica to recover. We all know that he never does and the Empire has to start downsizing while the rest of Europe pays for their goof-ups.
