Yes, I agree that's something else that's missing. There isn't the chemistry between the two, that I believe should be there. Let's face it, the real couple have been together through thick and thin. It may not have always been plain sailing and easy, but you don't last that long without the chemistry.
What other choice do they have? You think they would have had a divorce even if they didn't have "chemistry", whatever the hell that rom com notion is?

I was looking at recent-ish photos of the four children, along with old pictures of Prince Philip and had a similar thought as you. While I don't see any of Philip in poor Charles, the youngest, Edward, is even more unfortunate looking. Andrew got the best of the gene pool; he is a nice-looking man.

If Prince Philip was so handsome, how did he father a child like Prince Charles who sort of looks like an unattractive troll? Is he really the father? I'd like to see that episode of Maury. ahaha
You truly think that? I keep getting them mixed up in photographs.
Dad may have looked okay in his twenties, but he and his son look like twins now.
Elizabeth has a round face, and her husband and son both have much longer, horsier faces. -

Having never seen Matt Smith before, I think he's is terrifically cast and acting the part very well. See the cast's interview on Charlie Rose where Lithgow compliments him several times for his great performance. He is not as handsome as Prince Philip, but it doesn't matter. He is very charming in the role and totally believable that Elizabeth would fall for him. They do have great chemistry together. This is an exceptionally well cast show and Matt Smith is part of that.

tbh, this is the only thing stopping me from watching this show! I've noticed British TV shows often don't have a good choice of actors..dunno if it's a matter of choice or some convention they adhere to! Matt Smith is hardwired in my brain as The Doctor and it's very hard to get out of such a character..
Also,I'm sure Prince Philip was just a human and not perfect physically or anyhow as people want him to be here but still, they should've chosen a fresh face for such a historical show that could match the persona of Philip -

The way Matt Smith plays him he's more like a bratty child
The way he looks up at her from under those deep-set eyes is absurd
lol! But yes, I agree he's not a good cast for this. When I saw him on the trailer, I thought I might not like the show because of him. I'm glad I decided to watch because it's turned out to be one of the best shows on tv, at the moment (imho). (I still don't like him though). -

I like the casting. I find Matt Smith attractive enough and I think he does a great job portraying Phillip.
Doctor Who didn't spring to my mind during watching, which I attribute to Matt's nuanced acting and the fact that I've never been too fond of 11th Doctor (10th is my favorite.)

I don't think I've seen him in anything else and I'm pretty impressed with him in this. For the first time I'm finding Philip likable, despite how under his wife's thumb he was. I also think he's handsome enough, and his delivery of the one liners is great.
