A UK classic. Very entertaining and educational.

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2006)

I really enjoyed the film as a Londoner who was fond of Princess Diana. This film took me back to that painful time when we (the UK nation) lost our most glamorous princess. Everybody in the cinema watched quietly and seemed moved. Helen Mirren should get an Oscar for her portrayal of the Queen. She was realistic. This represented the royal family in a way only English (and Scottish) actors could do. It would be great if this film got a full national release in the US so that Americans could get a better understanding of the quaint side of UK life. This film was quite serious but many parts were amusing. I am glad the UK is making quality films again. I hope many people go and see this movie; especially if you liked Princess Diana.
