Episode 3 Covers the funeral of George VI, and a visit by the Duke of Windsor in 1952.
George's funeral takes place with the arrival of his brother, Edward, Duke of Windsor, evoking Elizabeth's memory of the abdication. Her mother and especially grandmother. Queen Mary, are angered by his sarcastic presence and Mary has no compunction in telling him though Elizabeth is prepared to be conciliatory - to a point. She is also grateful to Churchill for his guidance to her in her new situation but annoys Philip when she refuses to let the royal house change its name from Windsor to Mountbatten. Unaware of his sister-in-law's involvement with a commoner on the brink of divorce Philip asks Townsend to give him flying lessons.
