Where I Got It: On the plane
SUMMARY:
After the death of Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II struggles with her reaction to a sequence of events nobody could have predicted.
REVIEW:
I swore I had watched this movie years and year ago. Some scenes seemed familiar, but it must've been before I started this blog or I just didn't type up a review.
ANYWAY.
Here we follow Queen Elizabeth II after the death of Princess Diana. We get to see her perspective and that of her family. We also get to see the perspective of the new Prime Minister and his team and family. This event will make or break the crown.
You have to feel bad for Elizabeth. She is a complex woman and had a complex relationship with Diana. People loved Diana but she wasn't perfect. The same can be said about Elizabeth. She is loved and hated all at the same time. I loved how they portrayed her. Helen Mirren is a treasure and everything she touches is gold *chef kiss*
Like I said, I feel like I watched this movie before. Some scenes felt familiar especially with the deer. The more I think about it....the more I think I watched this with Hubby. Now I feel bad because I never typed up a review from what I find.
But yes, I really enjoyed this movie and I liked the mixing of real footage with filmed footage. It felt so real.
I wonder if that scene with the deer really happened. Or was it made up? I should look it up, but in my heart I'll be sad if it was made up.
Again, great cast (especially who played our Queen) and it makes you see how complex these people are. Sure they are royalty, but they are so human.
All-in-all, I'll give this 5 stars. It was really good. It really gives you a nice behind-the-scenes look at such a tragic event.

You remind me that I never watched this and wanted to. Ha, my memory is a sieve, too, and I find myself watching or reading something I later realized was a repeat. Thank goodness for Goodreads now. Haha!
