A marvelous reinvention of the costume epic, The Lost Prince is Stephen Poliakoff's absorbing study of the turbulent years leading up to and during World War I, seen through the percipient eyes of a scarcely remembered royal child. Extensively researched, impeccably cast, beautifully filmed, written and directed by Poliakoff himself with masterly economy and restraint, this is a timely reminder that original, intelligent drama can work as prime-time entertainment while appealing on multiple levels; and there isn't an escaped soap star in sight. Johnnie, the prince kept hidden away by his parents Queen Mary and George V for fear that his epileptic fits and idiosyncratic ways might draw unwelcome attention, is not presented as a tragic figure. His view of the great events that shatter his family and change the world forever is direct and uncluttered. Poliakoff celebrates his apartness--and that of all children who are different--as a force for good, without judging the standards, protocols, and contemporary medical theories that kept him on the periphery of society. The series makes the most of its well-chosen locations, and from Johnnie's garden at Sandringham to the assassination of the Russian imperial family, it maintains a hypnotic and elegiac quality The acting is first-rate, too. Gina McKee is profoundly moving as Johnnie's devoted nurse Lalla, and Miranda Richardson's Mary is an extraordinary performance, the controlled facade of single-minded focus occasionally fracturing to reveal a flash of humanity. This production is exquisite in every respect. --Piers Ford

This is a very moving film. In Part 2 when John presents his recital, I found myself tearing up. Convincing portrayals of the life of a child who overcame many odds to be the most that he could be. He endured the rejection of his parents. It was interesting to note that it was the servant class who accepted and loved him unconditionally. We can all learn a lot from this film about how to treat the least amongst us.
Rating:  -
This movie was horribly boring and unentertaining by any means. The story is not focused on any main character at all. It's confusing, dull and in my opinion one of the most boring movies about the English Monarchy. I do NOT recommend this to anyone who is looking for any exciting. This movie never grasps your attention or hints at maybe having 1 exciting moment throughout the 179 minutes of this torturous drama.

AS AN ANGLOPHILE, AND "ROYALFILE", I had come across the name of
"Prince John", the fourth son of King George V and Queen Mary, in som of my readings on the Windsors -- but the descriptions of him were usually no more than a name, or perhaps a statement that he was both retarded and had epilepsy. I had also read that he had his own home, away from the rest of the royal family, and was looked after by a devoted lady-servant named "Lala", and had died at the age of 13. I had seen a picture ...

I was intrigued by this DVD because it tells a story not often written about. This child prince, the little-discussed brother of Edward VIII and George VI, had a sad and sheltered life. This is an interesting look into the childhoods of these monarchs.

Upon receiving this DVD - The Lost Prince, I settled down to watch it for about the fifth time. I never get tired of it as it is a wonderful story even though quite sad. The performances by all the actors is of the highest standard as they play the parts of characters that actually lived. From a historical point of view the movie creates an atmosphere of how I would imagine times were back in the early 20th century.
