What a film!
What upset me about this film was its serious omissions. Allow me to elaborate:-The Royal Family eating off gold plate while a starving populus looks helplessly on.
The Queen ordering her Prime Minister to get the Hussars to sabre the miners marching on the Palace in protest at their 18hr working day.
The Irish, too weak to resist on their diet of blighted potatoes, forced to contribute their savings to allay the expense of the Royal Wedding.
Beefeaters preventing the ragged girl with the twisted foot from entering Parliament to get some money for her operation.
Worst of all, no mention of how the 7th Cavalry saved Prince William when his helicopter got into difficulties over Afghanistan.
Apart from these few minor gripes an excellent film.
