Synopsis: The Queen takes audiences behind the scenes of one of the most shocking public events of recent times - providing an illuminating, deeply affecting and dramatic glimpse into what happens in the corridors of power when a tragedy strikes.
My Comments (5/5): I caught this show on my way back from Singapore to China, and the most embarrassing thing is that this show actually brought me to tears on the plane. This is actually the third movie that touches the cold blooded heart of mine. Tears flowed out without control for the first time when they showed clips of the late Princess Diana's Death, from the paparazzi chases to the actual Royal funeral march. Making it two embarrassing moments for me in front of the Cabin Crews and Passengers.
Apart from the death, the story shows the Queen's dilemma position to whole a royal funeral for the divorced Princess to her son, Prince Charles. Facing the pressure from the public and the newly appointed Prime Minister, against the traditional British Royal custom, she had to make a decision. Being judged as cold hearted, she showed her soft side at this very moment when she met up with a deer by the lake.
