* StockUnsolvedMysteries: TheFateOfThePrincesInTheTower haunts Philippa. As a Ricardian, she has argued that Richard did not kill them. When she asks Richard's ghost, he is offended by the question and refuses to give an answer.

* JacobMarleyApparel: Played with. Richard's ghost sometimes appears in his shining armor and dupon, although they are undamaged. He also appears in his [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia crown and courtly robes]] at times. This makes sense because the ghost is a projection of Philippa's idealized vision of Richard. The film is notable for getting Richard's armor and heraldry right.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Richard III Society (Edinburgh Branch) are shown as this. Quite why a group of Scots (well, people living in Scotland at any rate -- not all of them have Scottish accents) are so interested in an ''English'' king [[note]] England and Scotland were separate countries until the 1707 Act of Union [[/note]] is not stated, although it's TruthInTelevision -- the RealLife Philippa Langley, who has lived in Edinburgh for many years, is President of the Scottish branch of the Richard III Society.

''The Lost King'' is a 2022 British film directed by Creator/StephenFrears and written by Creator/SteveCoogan and Jeff Pope. It's a {{Dramatization}} of the story of Philippa Langley, an amateur historian who initiated the search to find the remains of UsefulNotes/RichardIII underneath a car park in Leicester. As well as this discovery, it also deals with the uneasy relationship between Philippa and the University of Leicester, whose archaeologists were involved in the dig. It stars Creator/SallyHawkins as Philippa and Coogan as her estranged husband John.
