In honour of the passing of Prince Philip just shy of his 100th birthday we have decided to do an episode involving movies about royalty. The first film we examine is The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933) starring Charles Laughton who was lauded worldwide for his performance as the iconic English monarch on the film’s release. Next we examine Norma Shearer in the 1938 movie Marie Antoinette which was one of her favourite roles of all time. It was fascinating to discuss the variety of characters at play who like Prince Philip were strong willed and brought highly unique personalities to their station in life.
