Some questions you might like to think about...
In the scene where the Queen cries by her car in the river, why is she crying?
Why does the Queen refuse to join in with the applause after the Earl of Spencer's eulogy at Princess Diana's funeral?
The Queen remarks that "He's a hard one to read" in reference to Tony Blair. Why does she think this and what does she mean by it?
Consider the actors who are playing historical personages (The Queen, The Queen Mother, Prince Charles, Prince Philip, Tony Blair and Cherie Blair). What choices have they made as actors? What aspects of the real people they portray have they chosen to utilise in their representations and why?
In what ways do the characters present themselves publicly, and why do they do this?
What alternative ways are there to read this film?
What message is the film trying to get across to the viewer?
What techniques does the film use to influence the viewer?
