The Lost Prince

1910. One dynasty holds sway over the world's most powerful nations; at its heart is the British Monarchy, and its youngest member, Prince John, also known as Johnnie (Daniel Williams). A loving, insightful, and humorous child, Johnnie is witness to some of the most momentous events in the history of our times. As a baby, he is surrounded by the extravagant court of Edward VII (Sir Michael Gambon) and Queen Alexandra (Bibi Anderson) at the height of British Imperial power. But as the Great War looms, his newly crowned father, George V (Tom Hollander) and his mother, Queen Mary (Miranda Richardson), become embroiled in the tumult of world affairs and do not have time to see their special child as he grows. He is prone to epileptic fits, and the medical profession considers him to be an imbecile and, as such, an embarrassment to the family. As the landscape of Europe changes forever, Johnnie is looked after in a remote farmhouse in the Sandringham estate by his devoted nurse Lalla (Gina McKee). Dedicating her life to the little boy, she determines to remind the monarchy that Johnnie is, at heart, a true Prince.
