An intimate, moving portrait of Queen Elizabeth and Tony Blair following the untimely death of Princess Diana. The Queen's restrained reaction causes a public relations debacle that Prime Minister Blair must defuse. The two struggle to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public's demand for an open display of mourning.

great submitted by leenajong on August 8, 2015, 8:39am One of Helen Mirren's greatest performance.
Riveting submitted by Zekicmom on August 2, 2019, 5:27pm A very well done look at the royal family and new Prime Minister Tony Blair immediately following the death of Princess Diana. Really humanizes the queen. Good use of historical pictures and news footage from the time.
