Celebrities? Oh dear........

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2007)

This is one terrific movie. This movie provides some thoughtful and respectful insight into the woman behind the monarch. Great writing, directing and acting by all concerned. There are some delicious bits of humor as well.......the scene where Blair meets with Her Majesty for the first time as prime minister and she reminds him that she has had 10 prime ministers, the first being Winston Churchill (the most subtle bitch slapping you will ever see). My favorite moment comes when the royals are informed that Diana's funeral will be attended by a smattering of celebrities and the Queen Mother remarks "celebrities?.........oh dear".......oh dear indeed.
