The real Philippa Langley from THE LOST KING reveals how she tracked down King Richard III's remains

[@bethkinstler9857]

It is not surprising that the University of Leicester tried to steal her find from her and take credit for it. This goes on all the time where graduate teaching assistants do the research and legwork and their professors take the credit.

[@garybowen7057]

Just seen the film. Philippa Langley is a star. Shame on Leicester University

[@thethe6232]

Yes, absolutely and the movie was accurate about how she was treated by the city Council and the University. They behaved atrociously towards her. She did all the research , she raised the money to fund the dig and told them where to find him. They couldn’t even give her any mention.

[@whetuification]

Same here, i just watched the movie & the way they treated her was disgusting! Those Headline Morons at the University were just dispicable!! I AGREE WITH HER BOYS - PHILLIPA LANGLEY " THE KING FINDER "

[@nagidoyej563]

where can i watch the movie?

[@mxxnlight111]

Yep!! And then the website have the audacity to say that the film was inaccurate in how they treated Philippa. Absolutely disgraceful. Even after they were entirely exposed they still think they did nothing wrong!!

[@mummaskitchen2656]

Totally agree...greedy buggers...didn't even acknowledge Phillipa

[@georgewhitehead8185]

On bended knee to Philippa Langley, because she was the Genesis, and Primum mobile of this idea to find King Richard III, and she is the one who drove it along from the very beginning. Without her, there would never have been the discovery of King Richard III. Philippa Langley is truly "The King Finder" for all of the world to appreciate, and respect. Doctor George Whitehead

[@Tehomet]

hear, hear! Very well said!

[@candig9110]

Absolutely fantastic film! Philippa is amazing. I'm so glad she fought for it. This film shows how women are treated in academia every day, not taken seriously, intuition ignored and all credit taken from them by men. It has been a plight throughout history. Well I say, listen to your intuition! And maybe you'll be a king finder yet! Leicester Uni did not come off well in this.

[@LuisDiuk]

bahhh this is not "because she is a woman" is just how things are for everybody

[@Nautilus1972]

Don't turn it into a gender thing you man-hater. It's academia versus a citizen. Them wanting the credit. Don't turn it into a gender battle.

[@handywoman840]

Bloody good for her , and for Steve Coogan for telling us about her so we could know about her heroism. My admiration for him is constantly increasing!

[@thetowerfantasymusic]

We should all strive to be a Philippa. The dedication it must have taken to wait all those years and still keep going.

[@mxxnlight111]

I just saw the film about an hour ago. It was incredible. Absolutely amazing. What a watch. The suspense I was feeling when they were digging up the car park was so intense. If you haven't watched it yet, please do. What an amazing story, and a film.

[@campevanchic]

Just watched the film, loved it,me & my partner actually visited the site he was buried & the richard lll exhibit, i was so annoyed at the way phillipa was treated,leicester university tryin 2 steal the credit & not givin her the credit she deserved, they'd of never found him if it wasn't for philippa's passion, determination & dedication, well done philippa ur an amazin lady...👏👏👏

[@sigmiami]

Great film - Philippa is just an incredible person with a determined spirit we should all aspire to have.

[@rolanddesoignie4939]

I just found out about the discovery of Richard III remains, the analysis, and the re-interment, last night. Completely blown away. Started emailing relatives with this "news". At first, met with disbelief. Ms. Langley, superb job! What a discovery!

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

Saw the film today here in the USA and needed to know more so that's why I'm here. Amazing story.

[@Sweetlyfe]

There is a uk documentary that is actually filming when they found him, a great documentary.

[@lefantomer]

The resistance to the determination of Philippa Langley and her team of researchers to bring to light the true story of "the princes in the tower" continues to baffle me. Apparently to many the combination of St. Thomas More, William Shakespeare, and Sir Laurence Olivier yelling for a horse far outweighs the importance of correcting the historical record about this brief but significant period of English history. Bravo to Langley and her associates for their perseverance. The new book on "The Princes in the Tower" presents a wealth of new research on the subject.

[@mrsfranczak1714]

I saw it too. I think Phillippa's experience and sense of history is remarkable. Marvellous film that highlights institutional and academic prejudice towards the independent scholar. Very moving film and uplifting. Leicester Uni's behaviour was totally unnecessary. Their later good work on Richard's bones trashed by hubris. Stimulating and inspiring.

[@8teillumin]

What a title Philippa Langley MBE “The King Finder”

[@adeh503]

The was she was treated afterwards was appalling

[@filculturalire]

When i heard that the Body of King Richard 3 was found I was stunned like many people right across the globe,The lost king, But we should be very thankful to the one person who never gave up who stood up against the back stabbers who where only really into what they could get out of the find. The University Should also be respectful to Mrs Philippa Langley MBE for bringing home the Rightful King and restoring to his people and to the world. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II also respected and knew this was the correct thing to do she approved the offical seal to decorate the former king of england. Congradulations Mrs Philippa Langley MBE for never giving up God Bless u. Knights Commander.

[@andybb]

I do feel this was the greatest find in British archaeology well done Philippa for proving them all wrong

[@briboy2009]

I have just watched the film about Philippa, it was incredible. Well done to that lady for what she achieved,

[@elizabethhostetter4553]

Just saw the film- what an extraordinary woman. So much respect.

[@05emmarose]

I just watched The Lost King. What a great performance! It kept me intrigued, and I am so happy that Queen Elizabeth, God rest her soul, gave proper props to Philippa. She was the true hero.👏👏

[@strangeplacestv]

What a fascinating journey and intuition of Philippa. Looking forward to watching the story of the Kingfinder.

[@Hinata.Sakaguchi]

she funded the Dig but the University took the credit lol

[@samseetin8952]

An inspirational and enjoyable film that piqued my interest. Much better than thoughtless boring films made in the USA.

[@galacticmoth]

I loved this story so much. I hope we get new plays of King Richard III

[@FreakingRandomName]

It come as such a shock for me that i keep finding astonishing feats in our history singularly from superbly directed movies.

[@abc89over64]

Wonderful film. Wonderful story. Just absolutely wonderful.

[@Capybaraism]

So much love to you, Philippa! From an American Ricardian 🤍

[@MaisonKirkman]

Great tale - an inspiring lady who never gave up - Bravo !

[@jaybluejay]

An amazing story. Success has many fathers. Interesting how many were involved according to the University of Leister acknowledgements. Go Phillipa. Incredible. Well done you.

[@shayZero]

I was watching the movie having only seen the coverage in the media, i was positive Phillipa was a made up character and I was going to end up disappointed. Im so happy she's real.

[@frankgallagher8760]

The whole story about hownshe found the king is amazing

[@PatriciaCalleja-w8n]

Recently saw the film. As an Australian republican, I knew nothing about Richard. A very interesting story. So typical, the way Philippa was treated once she had found him. Thanks 🙏

[@johnord684]

The guy who played Richard the Third ,Henry Lloyd ,played Viserys Targaryen in Game of Thrones

[@no1nestandsalone387]

I thought he looked familiar!!! 😂

[@berndrohlfs7397]

A fabulous story. Greetings from Germany.

[@FreakingRandomName]

The best trailer they could've done. So heartwarming.

[@lizklinker8833]

God bless Phillippa Langley for finding King Richard. I've always been very interested in English history. What about the young prince's? Maybe they will be found next.🤞

[@lizklinker8833]

I've watch the film twice in the last couple of weeks. 😊

[@katiefish310]

just watched this film today, it's fascinating

[@chxljo]

Indeed shame on Leicester University!

[@wallysmart2432]

WOW SHE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON. ITS TOO BAD I WASNT INTERESTED IN THESE THINGS WHEN IT WAS 2013...

Thanks to Phillippa Langley for an astonishing endeavour.

A fantastic movie.

[@petakelly2827]

Well done Philippa and shame on The University of Leicester!

[@neilmcintosh5150]

Never knock a woman's intuition. She just may find for you a King.

[@jphanks]

Just finished the film. Shame on Leicester University!

[@janebrown1706]

Its who she was in a previous life. Explains it all.

[@simonheathcote4173]

Totally right otherwise it would not be possible 😮

[@4-dman464]

Now then, she might have been the guy that killed him in her previous life, have you thought of that. Well then: think on.

[@simonheathcote4173]

@@4-dman464 yes well reminded ☺️

[@davidhull1481]

Queen Elizabeth- Jesus Christ what is she like? She could have funded the whole damn thing out of her pocket change, but no!

[@stephenknight4638]

Great Film determined lady

[@cat67834]

I want to discover something now lol

Go for it:)

Brava!

John inspired her with a quote from The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan found Richard III

What a driven life full of purpose ❤

why didn't they make the actress look like her

the queen gave her blessing..... did she give any money ?

The real deal seems a lot more likeable than the insufferable character in the movie

[@Tawny6702]

Edward IV bastard or not, was actually a good king!

[@jochenstossberg5427]

The real Phillipa Langley was short changed big time by Sally Hawkings' twitching, nutty performance in the movie. She deserved a better actress. Penelope Wilton would have been great.

[@TheGreatSatan_]

Except that Sally looks NOTHING like you

[@800SER]

Channel 4 documentary totally ruined by Philippa’s constant crying and dizzy-mare antics.

[@clarabruselas8444]

Yet she accomplished more than you ever will not crying in your sofa
