Outlander’s Andrew Gower Returns to the Role of Bonnie Prince Charlie
A familiar face returns to Outlander tonight, but you might not immediately recognize him. In the opening scenes of this evening’s episode, actor Andrew Gower reprises his role of Bonnie Prince Charlie in a flashback, showing how he escaped to the Isle of Skye, with the help of Flora MacDonald—and a clever disguise. The scene, while hard to believe, is straight out of a history book. Indeed, MacDonald helped the Young Pretender (aka Charles Edward Stuart) escape to Skye by dressing him as her servant in women’s clothes.
