  Epilepsy Fdn.-<em>The Lost Prince</em> Nominated for Three Emmy Awards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
"The Lost Prince" is a deeply moving story of a child with epilepsy in an age when people with the disorder were hidden from society and, as in this tragic case, even isolated from family and friends.
The youngest child of George V and Queen Mary, Prince John's short life spanned the political build-up to World War I and the maneuverings of European royalty in the early 1900s.
Prince John lived during a time when seizures were regularly called "fits," and people with epilepsy were constantly called "epileptics." Although not used often in the United States, these terms are still sometimes used in European countries.

Prince John of England, born in 1905, was the youngest child of King George V (Tom Hollander) and Queen Mary (Miranda Richardson) and the uncle of Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince John is played by two actors, Daniel Williams as the younger, more vacant-eyed Johnnie, and Matthew Thomas as the older, more mischievous Johnnie.
The writer/director did not get access to Prince John's medical records, but it was documented that the boy suffered from epilepsy from birth, and it worsened as he got older, particularly around the age of 6 or 7, just before he was banished.

Miranda Richardson as Queen Mary in The Lost Prince
The Lost Prince is an acclaimed two-part British television drama, produced by Talkback Thames for the BBC and originally broadcast on BBC One in January 2003.
Poliakoff explores the story of John, his relationship with his family, John's brother Prince George, the political events going on at the time (like the fall of the House of Romanov in 1917) and the love and devotion shown to him by his nanny, Lalla, played by Gina McKee.

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.
As the story of Prince John, the youngest child of King George V and Queen Mary of Great Britain, it is heartbreakingly evocative of the tragedy of one child and of the loss of an entire world.

 The Lost Prince - Shiny Shelf
'The Lost Prince' is Poliakoff's two-part teleplay about Prince John, the youngest son of King George V (Monarch 1910 to 1936 to those of you who might otherwise have to look it up) who died in 1919 when he was not yet out of his teens.
What 'The Lost Prince' lacks is a unique angle on events, a perspective of its own, and that's really rather odd given that it's professing to be a drama featuring momentous events shown through the eyes of an undervalued and ignored primary observer.
The essential problem is that Prince John's life is a simple tragedy and - whatever Poliakoff might say - he's the least interesting aspect of every one the many stories being told.

Prince Kaboo, born in Liberia in 1872, is about to become king of the Kru tribe when the warring Grebo people capture him for ransom.
Without a prince to take the old king's place, his people will almost surely be defeated by their long-time enemies, the Grebos!
And only Jova knows the prince traveled to the dreaded "white man's city" a place filled with people so strange-looking Jova was too fearful to enter.

This is a very touching tale of a lost 'footnote' from history - some histories of the British royal family come with handy genealogy charts, showing the progress of royals through the ages in graphic format.
Such is often the case for young Prince John - born with a disability that presented like epilepsy, he was (according to the custom of the time) kept out of the public eye.
The teleplay shows an interplay of the private life of Prince John and his caregivers, particularly the deeply devoted servant and nanny, Lalla, and the public life of the royal family, as their lives became increasingly complex and involved in public duties due to the outbreak of the first world war.

Having reviewed Kathy Hepinstall's first two novels in glowing terms for their daring turns of story and piquant writing, I had high expectations for Prince of Lost Places.
Prince of Lost Places lacks the quirky twists that characterized her first two ventures.
Oh, it's quirky all right -- the story of a traumatized mother kidnapping her six-year-old son and going to live in a cave on the Rio Grande, while her distraught husband hires a detective to track her down.

If it was necessary to mention him again in the future, he could be referred to as “the Prince.” In various Continental countries there were many princes who were not royal or even serene highnesses—­who were merely princes as other nobles were dukes or barons.
Nothing special was revealed when a man was spoken of as a prince.
But though nothing was said on the subject of the incident, it was plain that much work was being done by Loristan and Lazarus.

A marvellous reinvention of the costume epic, The Lost Prince is Stephen Poliakoff's absorbing study of the turbulent years leading up to and during the First World War, seen through the percipient eyes of a scarcely remembered royal child.
The commentary on this DVD is a fascinating feature; with the director taking the viewer through the two parts, not just with on-screen information, but also huge amounts of historical information that he researched and why he changed certain things and adapted pieces of history in the way he chose.
The Lost Prince is a spectuacular and moving drama charting the life of the little-known Prince John, son of King George V and Queen Mary.
