Edward the Seventh: The New World (S1EP3 ITV 15 Apr 1975, Felicity Kendal)

The New World: After a successful tour of President Buchanan’s America, young Prince Bertie returns home to find that his parents do not see it as a personal success rather one that can be attributed to the monarchy in general. His father tells him he is to go to Oxford to continue his studies but will be under the care of a governor and will not be allowed to mix with other students. Bertie really wants to join the army but his father, at first, refuses, but eventually decides in his favor. He is made a Lieutenant Colonel in the Grenadier Guards and sent to Ireland to undergo his training. There he sees a few familiar faces and begins an affair with an Irish music hall performer. The situation in Italy creates a conflict for Albert with his relations in the Austrian court. Vicky’s son Wilhelm is born with a damaged arm. States in the American South secede, raising the possibility of war. Victoria’s mother, the Duchess of Kent, dies.
