I don't quite understand why they replaced the actor playing Harry yet. In this episode, Harry is meant to be around 15 years old: this new actor (Luther Ford) is in his 20s, while the previous one (Fflyn Edwards) is 14, much closer to Harry's age at the time... To correct another bit of The Crown fiction, William did not fly to Canada with his father (and Harry): the next two heirs were not allowed to fly together, at the time... Interesting to see Philip reflecting on his own father-son relationship with Charles ("We're not very good at fathers and sons in this family", says Charles at one point) — I wonder if he ever had those thoughts — but he is now known to have been a much warmer person in private than his public persona led people to believe, and this according to William's adult recollections in a documentary about his grandfather... William's going up to Highgrove, following the seminal talk with his grandfather at Eton, makes for a moving scene (whether it ever happened or not)... Note in the credits: they got a "Chess consultant".
