3. Yes, but

It's the actor. I hate his portrayal. I hate his wooden manner, his sad-sack personality and his shitty accent.

4. Was disappointed a well.

5. Sounds like you hate too much.

Albert was known to be very sensitive. And it was really his stiff-necked prudery that exemplified the era named for his wife, not hers.
