Really unusual idea, great acting, great writing. Some of the actors’ resemblances (as made up/acted here specifically) to the real people were just absolutely striking.

Really interesting how they handled the relationship between Blair and the Queen and the dynamics there. So much of this is supposition (unclear if they had ANY sources and who, or which (if any) parts were perhaps “true” or drawn from documented information), but rings true nonetheless

Two connected scenes where I wasn’t sure what you were supposed to think: which way the director was leaning toward. Doesn’t matter obviously, you can make up your own mind, but afterward BOTH of us asked “but were you supposed to think this? or this? did they want THIS to be the point? or not?” about the same scenes so clearly raised questions.

I did not know much about her later in life, or follow her in that way, but as a seventh grader, I did get up at 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. or whenever (man I am old, I cannot remember!) to watch Diana marry her prince in real time. Curled up in a blanket alone in the TV room about an inch from the screen while the rest of the house slept…It’s one of the first worldwide psuedo political events I remember…

And the summer I lived in the UK with my British cousins, I actually saw her (believe she was still HRH then/still married). We were about a foot apart as her limo came through the roundabout in Cornwall where the police had stopped all of us other drivers. I looked through the windows separating us, waved (she waved back, but of course) and thought “hey…I just saw a princess!”

I want to live at Balmoral. With my books and my quiltin’ and my knittin’ and my prince. WHERE IS HE.
