Cecil Pritchfield

Cecil Pritchfield was a British child psychologist.

Background
Originally from London, Pritchfield was the sole survivor of his immediate family who died during. As an orphan, he was soon sent to live with an unnamed aunt from Cornwall, and later with an unnamed distant cousin from Northumberland. He was eventually accepted into a Gloucestershire orphanage after numerous attempts. There, he befriended several fellow orphaned children. At some point in his life, he moved to the United States, settling in Quahog, where he had a career as a child psychologist at a preschool. He also had an interest in the works of William Shakespeare.

Pritchfield was openly gay. He claimed to have had his first kiss with a Nazi. He later married his husband Michael, who is several years his junior. He also took medication for a heart condition, which he kept a secret from his husband.

History
Pritchfield's aide Barbara sent Stewie Griffin through to see him. Early in the session, Stewie spoke about how they both shared a British accent, to which Pritchfield claimed he did not hear, much to the annoyance of Stewie. After looking at a photograph of Pritchfield and Michael while they were vacationing in Rio de Janeiro, Stewie begins to dissect the couple's relationship in extreme detail, including correctly identifying the location in the picture, his husband's name, and Pritchfield's insecurities about being several years older than his husband. When the psychologist assesses Stewie to be "a very lonely little boy", Stewie begins to sob and confirms Pritchfield's evaluation. During the session, Stewie also reveals that he is confident being heterosexual and sings "Alexander Hamilton" for Pritchfield. Pritchfield offers Stewie tea, to which Stewie delightfully accepts. He also tells Stewie of his childhood as an orphan during World War II. When Pritchfield asks Stewie if he had ever thought of being his real self, Stewie reveals that he actually has an American accent, and that his British accent was part of his "carefully constructed persona". When making plans to be a "normal boy", Pritchfield remarks that Stewie will be just like everybody else, which causes Stewie to reconsider.

Soon after, Pritchfield begins to have a heart attack. He asks Stewie to grab his medication, who refuses on the basis of him knowing about his real voice. After he calls out for help from his aide, Stewie tells him that she had left for lunch. Realizing his fate, Pritchfield grabs the picture of him and Michael, and begins to recite Shakespeare. When Stewie asks if he was quoting Macbeth, Pritchfield informs him with his dying breath that it was Romeo and Juliet, and stated Stewie wouldn't know because he isn't British. Shortly after he dies, Michael leaves Pritchfield a message on his answering machine, announcing his intent to divorce. Stewie stated that it was "not [Pritchfield's] day".

Later on, Stewie reveals to Brian that he "did something awful", indicating some regret for what had happened earlier that day, but that he didn't want to talk about.

During a hallucination when Peter Griffin was comatose, Pritchfield was seen on a cruise ship in the Panama Canal.
