As this first season begins, Elizabeth (Claire Foy) is a young princess in her mid-20s; her marriage to Prince Phillip (Matt Smith), and
their surprisingly real passion for each other, is the only major thing on her mind.
Garcia's scenes with at home with his young grandson, teaching the youngster to make arancinis and instilling in him the importance of love and
passion, are
surprisingly touching moments of
real emotion that add depth to an already excellent film.
