Prince Charles, future King of Great Britain, has a close relationship with his grandmother that flourishes from an early age.
It is said that she "encouraged" her "kind and sweet nature" and her love for music while she adored young children and that she was happy to indulge in it.
Royal author Gill Knappett said, "She kissed young Charles, encouraged his kind and gentle nature and introduced him to the world of music and art."
Prince Charles described it as "simply the most magical grandmother you can have".
However, his relationship with Prince Philip was often tense because the Duke of Edinburgh was strict with his son.
Philip, who led an extremely disciplined life, often hit the Prince of Wales, according to Netflix's explosive documentary "The Royal House of Windsor".
In the film, the narrator says: "Not only did Charles have a distant relationship with his mother, he also had a male alpha father."
The episode then explains how Philip wanted to harden Charles by sending him to Gordonstoun, the old school of Philip in Scotland.
"The queen mother was suspicious of Prince Philip. She thought that he had intimidated his son and did not understand how sensitive he was, "the narrator continues.
Gordonstoun has been described as a boarding school "anxious to develop his character as well as his intelligence, in order to meet the needs of a tough boy."
The queen mother intervened with Philip and wanted Charles to go to Eton, but his request was refused and the Duke of Edinburgh sent Charles to Gordonstoun.
"He hated it, whenever he could, he escaped from school to stay with his grandmother," the narrator adds.
In other sequences of the series, we learn that Prince Charles "begged" the queen mother to get him out of school, but she refused.
However, "she said that she would help find the strength to handle her problems."
This is not the first story suggesting that Charles was closer to his grandmother than his parents.
The royal observer, Dr. Piers Brendon, author of "The Windsors: A Revealed Dynasty," said, "The Queen Mother was a personification of the abduction, she was extremely affectionate, welcoming, warm, and caring.
"While the queen was a very distant mother."
The queen mother died on March 30, 2002 at the age of 101, a "huge loss" for Prince Charles.
The Royal House of Windsor is now available on Netflix.
