Prince Philip wasn’t the one man in Queen Elizabeth’s life.
We’re, after all, referring to Henry Herbert, who was given the nickname Porchey having grown up with the courtesy title Lord Porchester, as he was the inheritor to the Earl of Carnarvon title. (Enjoyable truth: Porchey lived at Highclere Fort, which is now identified for being the principle property in Downton Abbey.)
In The Crown, the queen and Porchey have an enduring friendship because of their shared love of horses and the countryside. Whereas Philip’s jealousy of Porchey is unfounded in The Crown, as Elizabeth solely ever had eyes for her husband, the present appropriately depicted how shut the queen and earl had been.
“It was a really equal friendship ranging over many pursuits,” Porchey’s son George Herbert informed The Telegraph. “They had been from the identical era. That they had been by means of the warfare. They shared an incredible love of the countryside and wildlife in addition to horses. Whether or not they had been strolling at Sandringham, Highclere or in Scotland, it was all the time an incredible obsession.”
