    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Scenes within the Royal household were shot on 35mm film, so they would look lush and cinematic. Scenes within Blair's world were shot on 16mm, so they would look more like television, in order to give visual contrast between commoners and royalty.
    • Goofs
      While the Queen does drive herself on her lands, her security is always at a discreet distance; it is inconceivable that she would have to call for assistance, much less be allowed to be stranded like the average motorist.
    • Quotes
      • Alastair Campbell: They, er, sent a copy of the Queen's speech. Might want to scrape the frost off it first... Oh, I phoned them with a couple of suggestions, to make it sound like it came from a human being.
      • Tony Blair: Yeah, all right, Alastair.
      • Alastair Campbell: Well, at least the old bat's finally agreed to visit Diana's coffin.
      • Tony Blair: You know, when you get it wrong, you really get it wrong! That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job SHE never wanted! A job she watched kill her father. She's executed it with honor, dignity, and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish, and now we're all baying for her blood! All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face. And who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!
    • Crazy credits
      When the title first appears, "The Queen" turns her head to look directly into the camera."
    • Alternate versions
      There are two versions available: the general, worldwide release and another, edited cut for viewing on TV in Turkey. Runtimes are, respectively, "1h 43m (103 min)" and "1h 34m (94 min) (TV) (Turkey)".
