Adapted Out
 The Lost Prince / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: The series focuses on George V's youngest children, George and John. Their four elder siblings are barely mentioned, in contrast to Bertie and Elizabeth or The King's Speech where it's the eldest two getting the limelight. So far there has yet to be a film about the middle children Mary and Henry.

Parental Substitute
 The Lost Prince / int_3f11ef74
comment
Parental Substitute: Though George V and Queen Mary obviously love their son very much (in their quiet, English royal way), his primary caregiver is his nanny, Charlotte "Lala" Bill, who loved him dearly (as he did her).

Artistic License – History
 The Lost Prince / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Regarding the Romanov family in particular: Tsarina Alexandra is portrayed as disdainful of the British and their palaces, as having never seen Osborne House before, and as having a thick Russian accent. In reality Alexandra — before her marriage known as Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine — was Queen Victoria's favourite granddaughternote through Princess Alice, Queen Victoria's third child and was as solidly English as her redoubtable grandmother. She had also been to Osborne House many times before and was very comfortable there, and spoke fluent English with a flawless British accent. The Grand Duchesses are portrayed as in their late teens. In reality, at the time of the visit in 1909, the eldest, Grand Duchess Olga, was only thirteen, and the youngest, Grand Duchess Anastasia, only seven.

comment
Reassigned to Antarctica: John and his nanny are moved to Wood Farm in an obscure corner of the Sandringham Estate note This is where the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, lived after his retirement in 2017., the latter wondering aloud if anyone remembers them.

Dawson Casting
 The Lost Prince / int_7f2427a6
comment
This also makes for a minor case of Dawson Casting, as Prince John is thirteen and a half years old when he dies at the end of the film and yet Thomas, who was fourteen at the time of filming, plays the character from about age nine.

Time-Shifted Actor
 The Lost Prince / int_a78f8506
comment
Timeshifted Actor: Prince John is played by the very young Daniel Williams for the first few scenes, then changes to the teenaged Matthew Thomas. This also makes for a minor case of Dawson Casting, as Prince John is thirteen and a half years old when he dies at the end of the film and yet Thomas, who was fourteen at the time of filming, plays the character from about age nine.

comment
Troubled Child: The titular prince has developmental difficulties and spends much of his early childhood unable to understand social cues and proper behavior. He's aware of what's going on, but between his epilepsy and his perceptual and sensory differences, he can appear to be much more out of it than he is.

Insistent Terminology
 The Lost Prince / int_e563bf09
comment
Insistent Terminology: George V insists that Princes George and John should play war games between planets rather than Earth countries. Edward VII doesn't seem to mind.note They did this so that there wouldn't even be the appearance of countries being at war that weren't at the time. This is how rumors get started, so it's best to be careful.
