“The Queen is a 2006 biographical drama film that depicts the events following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Initially, the Royal Family regard Diana's death as a private affair and, thus, not to be treated as an official royal death, in contrast with the views of Prime Minister Tony Blair and Diana's ex-husband, Prince Charles , who favour the general public's desire for an official expression of grief. Matters are further complicated by the media, royal protocol regarding Diana's official status, and wider issues about republicanism .
“The film was written by Peter Morgan , directed by Stephen Frears , and starring Helen Mirren in the title role of Queen Elizabeth II . The film's production and release coincided with a revival of favourable public sentiment in respect to the monarchy , a downturn in fortunes for Blair, and the British inquest into the death of Diana, Operation Paget . Actor Michael Sheen reprised his role as Blair from The Deal in 2003, and he did so again in The Special Relationship in 2010.
“The Queen garnered general critical and popular acclaim for Mirren playing the title role, which earned her numerous awards, namely the Academy Award , the Volpi Cup for Best Actress , the BAFTA Award and the Golden Globe Award . Mirren was praised by the Queen herself and was invited to dinner at Buckingham Palace . However, Mirren could not attend due to filming commitments in Hollywood ." – more at Wikipedia
