Finally I had the chance to watch the video. Helen Mirren gave a sterling performance indeed as Queen Elizabeth. Her acting defines the English’s “stiff upper lip” mannerism extremely well. I find the behind the scene going-on to save the monarchy from becoming “unpopular” in the eyes of the English masses prior to Diana’s funeral fascinating. The people’s princess’s sudden death really impacted the English Monarchy if the screenplay is right. Another highly recommended video to watch is “Cotton Mary” by Ivory Merchant Production. It is a story about an Indian woman, during English rule, and her fantasy of being “English”. Caution: Have an airsick bag by you when you are watching it.
