Louis Mountbatten was very influential in the Royal Family as the Queen s third cousin, Prince Philip’s uncle and a mentor to Prince Charles. The Crown season four features his assassination in episode one, focusing on the devastating impact it had on the Royal Family. In particular, it suggests his legacy was that Prince Charles should put his personal feelings aside and just marry an appropriate future Queen, hence the marriage to Diana.
