The events after Princess Diana's death

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2007)

The Queen describes the events immediately after the death of Princess Diana. Since Diana at the time of her death was divorced, she was not considered a part of the royal family and tradition dictated that the Princess could not receive a royal ceremony. This turned out to be very unpopular with the public.
Tony Blair saw the political consequences and tried to convince the Queen to hold a more formal ceremony. Much of the film describes the early relationship between the Queen and newly elected Blair.
The royal family is not painted in a very flattering light. Although the Queen is sympathetic, her husband Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and the Queen Mother are portrayed in a very unflattering light.
The acting is excellent from everyone. The Queen is a film to see if you are interested in learning more about the personal side of the Royal Family although the accuracy of the events is questionable.
