Script review – “The Queen” by Peter Morgan

What sounds like an overly light topic – the Queen in the week after Diana’s death – is made readable through two things: recent nostalgia, and a bunch of “gee I didn’t know that” facts (eg court protocol). It’s also an interesting look at the Queen, although it’s a bit kind to the irriating Tony Blair and his mob. It also fails to make the point that the media whipped up feeling against the Royal Family to deflect from their own considerable role in Diana’s death. Did Morgan go easy to secure better reviews?
