all that's right, but that doesnt mean it wasnt manipulation. This whole time we've seen her getting Elizabeth alone, telling her her marriage isnt real, Philip isnt committed, etc. Now she has Philip alone, and even know he knows it, she confirms that she thinks the same thing- they've found a weakness in Elizabeth. Philip knows the truth, but the old lady confirming it is in fact another example of her manipulating Philip and Elizabeth against one another
