[00:07.92]One of the most important characters is Prince Philip, [00:12.96]Queen Elizabeth's husband. [00:16.48]Several shows shine a light on Prince Philip, [00:20.56]also known as the Duke of Edinburgh. [00:25.32]They examine his life and his feelings [00:29.20]about being a consort of the royal family. [00:34.40]A consort is the marriage partner of a member of a royal family. [00:43.04]Matt Smith played a young Prince Philip in the first two seasons [00:49.20]and Tobias Menzies played a middle-aged Philip [00:54.28]in seasons three and four. [00:57.12]The real Prince Philip died Friday at age 99. [01:04.20]The Philip in the TV show is seen being a cold father [01:09.32]to his son Prince Charles. [01:12.92]The show also suggests Philip was unfaithful to his wife. [01:19.88]But he is shown as a positive influence on Elizabeth, [01:24.92]and a man who loves his country. [01:29.32]Peter Morgan is the creator of the Netflix show. [01:34.12]He said the show is based on historical research and imagination. [01:42.48]The truth of Philip's life in the royal family [01:46.44]may never be fully known. [01:49.48]But here are a few true things to compare to the show: [01:55.80]The Crown: Philip wants his children to take his last name, [02:01.12]Mountbatten, and not the Queen's, Windsor. [02:06.20]The answer is no. [02:08.72]When Elizabeth becomes Queen, Philip leaves the military. [02:15.24]He and Elizabeth fight over his role in the royal family. [02:21.20]He hates that he must kneel to his wife [02:24.84]during the Queen's coronation. [02:28.64]Philip later accepts his role as consort, [02:32.52]and the two find a balance in their family and marriage. [02:38.32]Real life: When Philip was not allowed [02:42.44]to change the family name, he complained. [02:46.04]In Gyles Bradreth's book, Philip and Elizabeth: Portrait of a Royal Marriage, [02:53.36]he was angry that he could not give the children his family name. [02:59.68]"I am nothing but a bloody amoeba," he said. [03:04.76]Eight years later, it was decided that his children [03:09.20]and grandchildren would use both names. [03:14.12]For example, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son [03:19.00]is named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. [03:24.44]The Crown: In one episode, Philip is interested in the first moon landing. [03:32.08]He watches the astronauts with great respect [03:36.12]and thinks his life is boring by comparison. [03:41.40]He meets the three American astronauts [03:44.60]and tells them that his position and marriage [03:48.72]kept him from the life he wanted. [03:52.92]Real Life: Philip lived a life of adventure. [03:57.60]He fought in World War II, received medals [04:02.08]and became a first lieutenant in the Royal Navy. [04:07.56]He learned to fly in the 1950s. [04:11.36]He was a polo player, painter, art collector and skilled sailor. [04:19.68]He drove until the age of 97, when he crashed his car. [04:26.20]The Crown: When Diana and Philip first meet at Balmoral Castle [04:32.40]in Scotland, they become friends. [04:35.96]After a day of hunting and talking, [04:39.56]Philip supports her marriage to Charles. [04:44.28]The marriage begins to fail. [04:46.96]Diana tells Philip she is thinking of leaving the royal family. [04:53.80]She says the family does not care about her. [04:58.56]Philip tells her everyone in the family [05:01.76]is an outsider except the Queen. [05:06.48]Real Life: In letters between Diana and Philip, [05:11.52]he was supportive of Diana. [05:15.28]He was also critical of his son's involvement with now-wife Camilla. [05:22.84]Then Diana gave a very truthful TV interview that Philip did not like. [05:29.92]He wrote that she must "fit in" or leave the family. [05:36.20]I'm Bryan Lynn. 更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
