Surprisingly, the vacillating Tsar Nicholas of Russia mobilizes his troops and plunges Europe into war. Against his wishes, Prince George is sent to the Naval College where his rebellious nature leads him to question propaganda about the cruelty of the German armed forces. Such propaganda, combined with the disastrous conflict on the battlefields of Flanders and France, turns the public's attention to the German ancestry of the British royal family. The trauma of war is even felt by Johnnie, Lalla and their household, who are forced to live in increased isolation in Wood Farm, on the fringes of the Sandringham estate. Prince George, determined to maintain contact with Lalla and his brother, arrives to relay the news that the family is to change its name to Windsor, and also that the Tsar of Russia has abdicated and is to be exiled to Britain by the Bolshevik revolutionaries. George V is alarmed at the reaction of his subjects to this and gets Stamfordham to press Lloyd George, who is now Prime Minister, to rescind the invitation to the Tsar. Johnnie dreams innocently of his Russian cousins coming to live with him. King George and Queen Mary are traumatized by what follows - the execution of the Romanovs. Weighed down, they find consolation when Johnnie dies, in his unbounded optimism and unalloyed love of life.
