Prince Philip: I owe you an apology.
Princess Alice: Whatever for?
Prince Philip: My faithlessness. All this time, I've been trying to keep you out of sight of the cameras, when, quite clearly, you should have been centre stage.
Princess Alice: If anyone owes anyone an apology, we both know it's the other way round. At least your sisters had something of their mother. When we were forced to leave Greece, I couldn't cope. I needed care. I needed help.
Prince Philip: But that, that wasn't help that they gave you. It was torture.
Princess Alice: They tried their best.
Prince Philip: No. The treatment they gave you was barbaric. And your courage in rising above it was remarkable.
Princess Alice: I didn't do it alone. I couldn't have. I had help every step of the way. Now, Bubbikins, you mentioned faithlessness. How is your faith?
Prince Philip: Dormant.
Princess Alice: What?
Prince Philip: Dormant.
Princess Alice: That's not good. Let this be a mother's gift to her child. The one piece of advice. Find yourself a faith. It helps. No, not just helps. It's everything.
