Philip Forcing Charles to Attend Gordonstoun
The series frames Prince Philip harshly forcing Charles to attend his alma mater against his will. This appears as a cruel personal battle. While Charles genuinely disliked Gordonstoun, the decision reflected standard aristocratic practice more than paternal tyranny. Philip believed the school would toughen Charles up, not punish him. Their relationship had complexity beyond this conflict. The show exaggerates familial tension for dramatic effect.
