What a beautiful recital. Does anyone know what song Johnny is playing?

@laughtereveryday

It's a rearrangement of Viviani's Sonata No.2 for Trumpet and Organ

@tolemy01 Thanks for that info! I'd been wondering what those melancholy music pieces were called and whom they were by.

Thank you for posting this. Prince John's recital is my favorite scene in this eloqent film. Such a poignant scene knowing Johnny's fate. :(

although this film is really good and miranda richardson plays queen mary brilliantly, this film does her no justice, they have portrayed her very coldly, but many reports say they she was a lot better and more loving than this, and that she was extreamly involved in all her children's life

@lalahammy Yes, it is funny how matter-of-fact he is about it. I wonder if it relates to the very first time the doctors assessed him, when Lala tried to get him to throw the ball to her and he didn't respond. From his perspective, showing them all he could do that might seem just as significant as showing them his trumpet skills!

Also....sorry about this guys.....Britain was a completely different country back then when illness was seen as a weakness. So the King and Queen wanted their Prince Son to be hidden from all - hence throughout the film they always tried to keep him away from the public. It was the constant stresses of all this making her cry and the fact that they just want to be left alone...which is why when this film came out it was so controversial...people drew paralells with Diana and William and Harry!

the Russian Royals (Tsar Romanovs) were related directly to our Royals and the Russian Bolsheviks (communists) were having a revolution because they despised the Royal Family. They despised the Royals because they wanted the ordinary Russians to believe that the Royals did not care about ordinary Russians. The Bolsheviks made the royals out to be abusive and cruel - by all accounts was false. So it was the stress of all this which is making her cry! I believe anyway!

@lalahammy Its an emotional film. The young prince had a dibilitating illness which he was born with. many people today suffer from it. Basically at random points in time the person collapses into convulsions uncontrollable fits. He was also the son of the ruling monarch who was about to send hundreds of thousand s of young men to battle in the 1st World war or rather trying to avert war. The Royals were not liked - much as the same in Russia -
