* {{Nephewism}}: Is very much a father figure to Philip. Whether this is out of affection or his own ambitions, or an inseparable mix of both, is never made clear. He later forms a close relationship with Charles and becomes a warmer alternative for the prince, in contrast to the harsh Philip.

* {{Nephewism}}: Is Downplayed, actually, since he never raised Philip (or Charles) and neither lived with him, but as one of Philip's few remaining nearby relatives, he's very much a father figure close to and involved with the adult Philip. Whether this is out of affection or his own ambitions, or an inseparable mix of both, is never made clear. He later forms a close relationship with Charles and becomes a warmer alternative for the prince, in contrast to the harsh Philip.

* ThoseWackyNazis: Cecilie, her sisters, and her husband were prominent Nazis, which is acknowledged multiple times within the series, though she is presented as a perky, quite jolly young woman and displays none of the associated overtly villainous behaviour, apart from some over-zealous remarks about Hitler's mandate that his followers bear multiple children to bolster his available soldiers.
