Question: The Prince of Thieves film about the outlaw often depicted alongside King John was filmed in a country. In 1945 outside of the country how many people were in its empire?

<P0-S0> prince edward, earl of wessex, (edward antony richard louis; born 10 march 1964) is the youngest of four children and the third son of queen elizabeth ii and prince philip, duke of edinburgh. <P0-S1> at the time of his birth, he was third in line of succession to the british throne; he is 11th. <P0-S2> the earl is a full-time working member of the british royal family and supports the queen in her official duties – often alongside his wife, the countess of wessex – as well as undertaking public engagements for a large number of his own charities. <P0-S3> in particular he has assumed many duties from his father, the duke of edinburgh, who retired from public life in 2017. prince edward succeeded prince philip as president of the commonwealth games federation (vice-patron since 2006) and opened the 1990 commonwealth games in new zealand and the 1998 commonwealth games in malaysia. <P0-S4> he has also taken over the duke's role in the duke of edinburgh's award scheme. <SEP> <P1-S0> Though Britain and the empire emerged victorious from the Second World War, the effects of the conflict were profound, both at home and abroad. <P1-S1> Much of Europe, a continent that had dominated the world for several centuries, was in ruins, and host to the armies of the United States and the Soviet Union, who now held the balance of global power. <P1-S2> Britain was left essentially bankrupt, with insolvency only averted in 1946 after the negotiation of a $US 4.33 billion loan (US$56 billion in 2012) from the United States, the last instalment of which was repaid in 2006. <P1-S3> At the same time, anti-colonial movements were on the rise in the colonies of European nations. <P1-S4> The situation was complicated further by the increasing Cold War rivalry of the United States and the Soviet Union. <P1-S5> In principle, both nations were opposed to European colonialism. <P1-S6> In practice, however, American anti-communism prevailed over anti-imperialism, and therefore the United States supported the continued existence of the British Empire to keep Communist expansion in check. <P1-S7> The "wind of change" ultimately meant that the British Empire's days were numbered, and on the whole, Britain adopted a policy of peaceful disengagement from its colonies once stable, non-Communist governments were available to transfer power to. <P1-S8> This was in contrast to other European powers such as France and Portugal, which waged costly and ultimately unsuccessful wars to keep their empires intact. <P1-S9> Between 1945 and 1965, the number of people under British rule outside the UK itself fell from 700 million to five million, three million of whom were in Hong Kong. <SEP> <P2-S0> Principal exteriors were shot on location in the United Kingdom. <P2-S1> A second unit filmed the medieval walls and towers of the Cité de Carcassonne in the town of Carcassonne in Aude, France, for the portrayal of Nottingham and its castle. <P2-S2> Locksley Castle was Wardour Castle in Wiltshire -- restored in an early shot using a matte painting. <P2-S3> Marian's manor was filmed at Hulne Priory in Northumberland. <P2-S4> Scenes set in Sherwood Forest were filmed throughout England: Burnham Beeches in Buckinghamshire was used for the outlaws' encampment, Aysgarth Falls in Yorkshire for the fight scene between Robin and Little John, and Hardraw Force in North Yorkshire was the location where Marian sees Robin bathing. <P2-S5> Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall was used for the scene when Robin first confronts the sheriff's men. <P2-S6> Chalk cliffs at Seven Sisters, Sussex were used as the locale for Robin's return to England from the Crusades. <SEP> <P3-S0> Nineteenth-century fictional depictions of John were heavily influenced by Sir Walter Scott's historical romance, Ivanhoe, which presented "an almost totally unfavourable picture" of the king; the work drew on Victorian histories of the period and on Shakespeare's play. <P3-S1> Scott's work influenced the late 19th-century children's writer Howard Pyle's book The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which in turn established John as the principal villain within the traditional Robin Hood narrative. <P3-S2> During the 20th century, John was normally depicted in fictional books and films alongside Robin Hood. <P3-S3> Sam De Grasse's role as John in the black-and-white 1922 film version shows John committing numerous atrocities and acts of torture. <P3-S4> Claude Rains played John in the 1938 colour version alongside Errol Flynn, starting a trend for films to depict John as an "effeminate ... arrogant and cowardly stay-at-home". <P3-S5> The character of John acts either to highlight the virtues of King Richard, or contrasts with the Sheriff of Nottingham, who is usually the "swashbuckling villain" opposing Robin. <P3-S6> An extreme version of this trend can be seen in the Disney cartoon version, for example, which depicts John, voiced by Peter Ustinov, as a "cowardly, thumbsucking lion". <P3-S7> Popular works that depict John beyond the Robin Hood legends, such as James Goldman's play and later film, The Lion in Winter, set in 1183, commonly present him as an "effete weakling", in this instance contrasted with the more masculine Henry II, or as a tyrant, as in A. <P3-S8> A. Milne's poem for children, "King John's Christmas". <SEP> <P4-S0> princess of thieves is a romantic adventure tv movie starring keira knightley, produced by granada productions in 2001 and first broadcast on "the wonderful world of disney" on abc in the united states that same year. <P4-S1> co-starring in the film are malcolm mcdowell as the sheriff, jonathan hyde as prince john, stuart wilson as robin hood, del synnott as froderick, and stephen moyer as philip. <P4-S2> the movie was directed by peter hewitt and filmed in romania. <P4-S3> the film's plotline draws inspiration from the classic robin hood legend, which has been adapted many times for screen. <SEP> <P5-S0> The Boys' Brigade Gazette is a quarterly magazine printed regularly since 1889 in the United Kingdom for the officers and leaders of the Battalions and Companies of the Boy's Brigade in the UK and Ireland.
