  • Whilst a good effort it has now common knowledge that Her Majesty insisted on the Princess returning on the Queens Flight & that the funeral should be a public affair, so I don't see the point in perpetuating the hurtful lie that she acted any differently.

  • Not even Helen Mirren's talent could humanize a bunch of leeches like the monarchy,you know?Bruno Ganz was awesome as Hitler but still doesn't change the idea that the guy was a fucking lunatic,it just looked like a multilayered lunatic

  • @apologyisnothepolicy U are not trying to compare the Queen with hitler are you? And as for the Queen being a leach LOL....

  • @englishforeverr

    some time ago the french and the russians solved their leech issues

  • @apologyisnothepolicy Whats this vid "The True Cost of the Royal Family Explained " On youtube and see what you have to say. But with the Queen its not about money its national herritage and pride plus you from the USA why do you mind what the queen costs?

  • @firmnfruity are you a british citizen?

  • I'm watching this for the first time, on tv. So boring.

  • the queen is no doubt a real snake . my opinion

  • Shes very cold, Ive seen her take flowers from children. She just says "thank you" without even looking at the kid and keeps walking.

  • what annoys me is that when she died diana wasn't a member of the royal family and wasn't princess of wales, but people still expected the flag at buckingham palace lowered- when that wasnt even done for the queen's father (the king) when he died.

  • @Malibuthunder Even after losing her title,people still loved her & they wanted her to have just some appreciation coz nobody can deny that she did a lot when she was alive & she was a part of that family for over a decade so being divorced from Charles doesn't mean they have to ignore her like she wasn't part of them for many years or like they've never known her or something..plus she's the mother of the future king so,somehow she was still related to them.

  • If only queen Lizzie was as hot as Helen Mirren is. I think then I'd actually like the monarchy and not consider it a superfluos anachronism. Mind you Kate Middleton's totally red-hot 10/10. Hell of a fit body on her, too. Willbo's a lucky boy indeed being born into that family by pure luck.

  • What's the peace of music called from 0:44 ? thanks

  • @RenkeFromCoast "Piece" not "peace", fucktard!

  • I loved this movie and Helen Mirren's portrayal. She definitely earned that Oscar.

  • The Queen is a right royal cunt.FACT.

  • @firmnfruity I think you'll find you are.

  • @adam4757 How rude,but let me tell you another rarely talked of FACT.Between 1997-2005 our great monarch had a sexual relationship with the then Prime Minister Tony Blair.I have it on good authority that she would dress Tony as an East End urchin and demand he licked her anus whilst Prince Philip tended to her clitoris.It was whilst in one of these heightened states of sexual abandon that Mr Blair agreed that we accompany the Americans in their invasion of Iraq.Sad but true.

  • @firmnfruity With views like that you could start a religion. I'm pretty sure that's how Christianity started.

  • This was a very good movie.

  • my favorite moment in the movie: when she's in the stalled car going "Bugger it!"

  • what a great film, Helen Mirren was superb.

  • Comment removed

  • quetly and with dignity?

    Like murdering her?

  • @Lucythevampire The Queen never killed the Princess of Wales. Do not speak when you do not know. 

  • @FriendlyMcDonnell

    watch "unlawfull killing"

  • Long live the Queen! 

  • Long live the Queen!

    and people should get over its been 13 years since Diana's death. Her memory will remain and her imprints are left in her children, Princes William and Harry.

    Just look forward into the future and hope for the best.

  • Helen Mirren is simply fantastic!

  • I miss Princess Diana :((((

  • @waxyweller So do I! :(

  • I love Helen Mirren and I love Michael Sheen, they're both amazing

  • god save our queen

  • after all her stoicness, she's bullied by the British people.. and uses the reason that Diana was no longer a member of the Royal Family, yet she's the mother of a future monarch and legally a British Princess, that's the problem with her.. :|

  • Larga vida a la Reina.!!! Duela a quien le duela !!! Jajajaja

  • I thoroughly enjoyed this film last night. Although a fictional account of events, I found it enthralling to observe the life of the Royals that ensues ''behind the scenes''

  • @isitomorrowyet Not fictional, just a different point of view.

  • @ILoveCustardCreams2 ''The film depicts a fictional account of the immediate events following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales on 31 August 1997'' It's not a true story, it's a constructed drama.

  • @isitomorrowyet Oh I see what you mean but the point of the story is still true. People were unnecessarily hysterical over Diana's death, it's like Blair (in the film) said, Diana took everything the Queen offered her and then threw it back in her face and the people applauded her for it. Not that I'm glad Diana died, it's very sad that she died so young but there was no need for hysteria.

  • @ILoveCustardCreams2 Yeah. it was a fascinating watch. It really highlighted a 'normal' side to the Royals that I hadn't ever really considered. You know, like the Queen driving a Land Rover or her watching TV in her nightwear. I was 10 years old, living in England when Diana passed and I wasn't emotionally immersed in the situation and didn't really understand the media/ public frenzy. But now I'm like ''Ooooh, I see.'' God rest her soul. God save the Queen.

  • Wow! She looks exactly like HBM Queen Elizabeth herself!

  • she surely resembles the queen

  • PERFECT MOVIE !!!

  • i really don't like what Prince Philip said about Princess Diana: "Diana is more annoying dead than alive." >:((((((((

  • @ramram3467 I can't staaaaand him! Or Elizabeth

  • @Smith4108

    Who cares?

  • @codownni what who cares?

  • Why are they so afraid of doing a FILM about Diana??? They should do it!!!

  • @Niiiis1228 i was thinking exactly the same thing,they made Elizabeth look like victim. didnt believe any part of this story.....however amazing acting by helen mirren.....

  • @muhammad152

    Ofcourse she was a victim.

  • click like if you came here for the movie Unlawful Killing

  • what is the music used in this trailer ??

  • @jc851 The same musical score used in the trailer for "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc."

  • Wonderful movie, loved it ! Helen Mirren's acting is astounding, and I loved Blair's representation in the movie.

  • I wish they would make a film about the Queen in her younger years when she first became Queen

    Claire Danes should play her, the resemblence is striking & she also has great emotional depth

    Alot of people would see it im sure

  • @caliking100 yes! I hope so! It is like the movie 'Young Victoria" :)

  • @caliking100 But can Claire Danes speak in anything resembling an actual British accent let alone the Queen's very distinct accent?

  • @Heretsicalable

    shes done the english accent before I think in (Stardust and Stage Beauty) she also played Eliza Doolittle on broadway, honestly I think she could pull it off, sometimes actors can totally suprise you, like who would of thought that Demi Moore could have pulled off a british accent ( Scarlet Letter, Flawless)....no what i mean?

  • Poor Diana she did nothing wrong.

  • the queen is a fucking bitch eh

  • Maybe we are not talking about the same film here, but I don't really care about the story itself but the performance, it's amazing an excellent movie.

  • it fealt like some day time soap opera that house wifes waste their time on :-(

  • She didn't even reached the smallest finger of  the Good Queen Bess

  • @MrGeorgise What?

    Do you not know the story?

    Princess Diana was an extraordinarily kind and generous woman who did so much for her people and suffered so much because of the crown, and was eventually killed by the media (some say the Queen killed her, I'm not sure)

    The Queen is also a kind woman but not famous for it like Diana was.

    Diana died unexpectedly in a car accident and the Queen made no public appearance or statements, so the nation thought she didn't care.

    That's what happened!

  • @MrGeorgise They don't know the queen AT ALL either!

  • DIANA!

  • They used her that is all. She was young, pretty, a virgin and fit their breeding needs. The one thing they didnt expect was diana to take a stand against all the bullshit. They expected her to go along with it all, sit back and enjoy the royal life. Once Diana got hip to the game she said fuck it and all hell broke loose. But the whole thing must have been so traumatic to the two princes though. They had to deal with a hell of alot very publicly.

    Hellen mirren slays in this movie tho. love it

  • helen mirren look like queen Elizabeth

  • theres lots of conspiracies surrounding the death of Diana raging from her being pregnant with Dodi's child and the monarchy not wanting a non Christian baby in the family, I guess no one will know really

  • Comment removed

  • a truly stunning film.

  • So impressive movie.

  • Why do people like Princess Diana even though she messed up the Windsor name so much?

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY Because it was Charles was having the affair all that time with Camilla. The Queen wouldn't let Charles marry Camilla because she didn't approve of it for whatever reason, then he had to marry Diana, but Diana was never happy, neither was Charles. Charles had an affair with Camilla and broke up the marriage.

  • @Ldog113 But I thought Diana cheated on Charles too. Or was that just after she realized about Camilla? 

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY I dont think so? I was born the year she died, so im only going by what ive heard. I think it was a pretty rough divorce, because the Royal family stripped Diana of all her titles and everything. ut charles and camilla were tennage lovers i think, and even though her was married he kept her on. Look at Kate and William's engagement interveiw compared to Diana and Charles', i think it paints the comparison perfectly

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY Prince Charles was in love with another woman. He dated Camilla before he got married to Diana, but the Queen disapproved of Camilla. Diana cheated after Charles

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY Yes, and Diana said that she really only cheated to get back at him. She thought "two can play at this game!"

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY People love Diana because she did incredible work for charity.

  • @thedevilwearsJUICY I know. It's as if people want to bring down a huge part of our own country and culture. None of these people even knew Diana, yes she did charity work but that doesn't make her a saint. For all we know she was a very difficult person to live with. It's like you said, this women has single handedly messed up the Windsor name and people seem to see that as a good thing. I mean why? I wasn't alive when she was but from what people here are saying, she purposely caused trouble.

  • Can somebody please tell me.What was the relasionship between Diana and The Queen .

    I`ve watched the wedding of William and Kate...Kate is...okey...idk...But Diana is always the true princess <3

    And how does Elizabeth feel for Charl`s 2.nd wife? Cammila?

  • @AssasinVampire17

    Diana was liked by the royal family, including the Queen.

    And the reason Charles didnt marry Camilla first was because the Queen disapproved. she doesnt really like Camilla much.

  • incredible Movie shows Queeny in a light which explains her actinos somewhat.

  • loved the movie.Long live the Monarchy :D

  • Did i heard it right? they want to not include princess Diana as one of the royals after she died? and Then theres that guy who said "WHY? WHY SHE DONE NOW?" was that that mean?

  • @polengsantiago After her divorce from Prince Charles, she would no longer be called " your royal highness, Princess Diana" to simply "Diana, Princess of Wales." That's what was meant by "she's not part of the royal family." As for the "what has she done now," the royal family apparently disapproved of Diana, and especially at that time in her life, there had been a lot of questions as to who this new man was and there were rumors of things she had done that the royal family disapproved of.

  • @polengsantiago Princess Diana was divorced from Prince Charles and didnt have the long title. Just as Sarah Ferguson is no longer part of the royal family now neither was diana (may she rest) at the time. and "what has she done now" After their divorce princess Diana made tv statements critisizing the royal family and Prince Charles and there was dissaproval over the man she was with. in this scene prince Phillip asks what she has done now because he expects there to be a new scandel.

  • just watched it and VERY WONDERFUL!

  • Dear me! Last I saw Madame Mirren on screen she was a young actress playing Rosalind in As You Like It (as a part of the illustrious Shakespeare collection made by the insidious British Broadcasting Corporation) and now she is an old woman who plays both Queens Elizabeth in their old age? Well, she is a brilliant actress but also her two role show the decline of the English monarchy and the world as well: How boring is the life of the second Elizabeth compared to the first one!

  • And the subject is question able: A lewd sometime princess (her behaviour would have ended up in old age possibly as the wars of the roses, as it would put the legitimacy of her sons into question) died in a car crash and the English weep just as they have lost a great leader. But had Queen Elizabeth II read the fancy play Schiller wrote about Mary Stuart she would have fought hard with herself not to recite the verses in which the first Elizabeth exclaims against her dependence on popularity:

  • "Oh! servitude of popularity! Disgraceful slavery! How weary am I Of flattering this idol, which my soul Despises in its inmost depth! Oh! when Shall I once more be free upon this throne? I must respect the people's voice, and strive To win the favor of the multitude, And please the fancies of a mob, whom naught But jugglers' tricks delight. O call not him A king who needs must please the world: 'tis he Alone, who in his actions does not heed The fickle approbation of mankind. ...

  • ... Have I then practised justice, all my life Shunned each despotic deed; have I done this Only to bind my hands against this first, This necessary act of violence? My own example now condemns myself! (...) but am I now Just by my own free choice? No—I was forced By stern necessity to use this virtue; Necessity, which binds e'en monarch's wills. Surrounded by my foes, my people's love Alone supports me on my envied throne."

  • The movie is amazing

  • Why is there a 'Vote Labour' sign? Who on earth would bring that to a Royal event?!

  • I love this film so much. Whether you are a fan of the queen and royals or not it is seriously hard not to appreciate the way the story is told.

  • Can someone tell me the name of the music from 0:43 through 0:56?

  • @S13AR10AFan yeah, i wanna know too !

  • Well She as Queen is a ceremonial figurehead that embodies century old traditions and is almost a living embodiement of British History and i love history so i find it rather interesting. Also she's served her country in ways other than being Queen. She is the last living Head of State to have actively served in the Second World War. I think that is amazing because she was a mechanic and truck driver during the war and most monarchs wouldn't get down and dirty like that.

  • Get rid of the Monarchy, they are an echo of an unjust past, built on hierarchy and social elitism. Why should we bow down and respect them for no other reason than they were born into Royalty, they are not elected but enjoy untold wealth, power and privilege, at the tax payers expense, can we afford them in the 21st Century, or more to the point, do we need them? Kings, Queens and Princes, should be cast back to where they belong, to history, in the past or in pantomimes. Viva UK Republic .

  • @wulfricvonspot

    Because republics are a real fairy tale...

  • Great Movie! Im from America, but of British descent, I must say God Save The Queen! :D

  • @JagNavBrett Why? Why not god save mankind, or god save all human beings, why is this woman so special?

  • The queen drives? ha, I never thought about it before

  • @DayInTheLife42 Oh, yeah! She even drives with someone who isn't Prince Philip sitting in the passenger seat! lol

  • @DayInTheLife42 The Queen drove trucks in WW2 and is a trained mechanic.

  • Does anyone know the music in this trailer?

  • @daintyhippie The music is called The Fire by James Newton Howard. It is on youtube. But for some reason I cant paste the link so just search for it.

  • According to their profiles all these people saying "long live the Queen" live outside of Britain.

    Very few real Brits actually give a fuck about the Queen.

  • Queen Elisabeth II is the greatest woman of our time! God bless her!

  • @DurtDurty LOL. AMERICA ALL THE WAY OF COURSE. WE'LL MAKE SLAVES OUT OF THE ENGLISH SOME DAY

  • @Bricker99999 physco

  • One of the best trailers and movies of the decade.. The queen is an amazing women! RIP Diana The World's Princess

  • Helen Mirren is simply fantastic! 

  • whats the song at 0:43 ? i kinda like it :P

  • whats the soundtrack in the background ?

  • i wonder if any of the royal family has seen this movie . . . . anyway it looks good ill rent it tomorrow (-:

  • what's the song during the trailer?

  • Esta Reina que todos alaban, sí puede ser Reina, pero no es más que una basura floja, holgazana y ladrona, qué no se dan cuenta cómo les roba al pueblo Inglés por un supuesto título otorgado por su propia familia.

    Despavílense pueblo Inglés y hagan lo que logró la reivindicación de 1779, dejen de alabar y rendir culto a esa patrona de porquería

  • @QuimSebaMet ¿Y quién eres tú? Tus opiniones son las de un imbécil. La Reina sí tiene el respeto del pueblo británico además representa la alma de la nación. No ha robado nada de nadie. Vivimos en el siglo XXI donde la monarquía tiene el papel de representar el pueblo y la nación.

  • @kopec1 Otro más al que le lavaron el cerebro, qué pena!

  • I respected Queen a lot, but after watching this movie, it increased 10 folds...

    

  • Christ I hope the queen dies soon. Bring on the KING!

  • I can't put into words how much respect she deserves.

  • funny before seeing this film i thought the queen was a stuck up old woman with no emotion, but it actually sorta made me see things from her perspective, and realise that she deserves the utmost respect. Cause she is doing a damn fine job, she keeps smiling and doing her duties weather she likes it or not, despite being so despised by many. She managed keep the monarchy goin despite all the social changes. Long live the Queen

  • Someone put this movie on youtube already!!!!

  • i love the queen. shes an amazing womam

  • Long live Her Majesty Helen Mirren I

  • From what I've been told, The Queen was a heartless woman who hated Diana and tried in every way to stop her from marrying Charles.

  • @archer6749 you've been told wrong. even diana said that everyone wanted them to marry. it wasn't until after the wedding that the royal family turned cold towards her. 

  • @archer6749 actually when they were planning a divorce, she was advocating to keep them together and work it out

  • Does the Queen wipe her own behind after taking a Royal dump or does someone come and wipe it for her?

  • long live diana and the peasants, fuck the masonic mass murdering globalist scum

  • For Queen and country!

  • Long live the Monarchy!

    huzzah

  • @mendal05 why?

  • They shouldn't have focused on Diana so much in this film but it was still great.

  • why is this not shown in Asia? its a 4yrs movie & i still want to watch it.

  • this was the real best picture of 2006

  • i will be sadder when hellen miren dies than when the queen does

  • Helen Mirren is one of the greatest actress ever

  • Oh my gosh I don't mean to be rude or anything but will ya all just give it a break already? Wasn't this comment section supposed to be for the MOVIE? I don't think it's a political discussion forum... Although I think it would be nice for one of you to make one, it may benifit all of ya!

  • Viva Queen Elizabeth II

  • God Shave the Queen !!

  • Bieber>The Queen

  • bloody bastards, enjoying the royalty of centuries of looting treasures around the world. after colonialism an centuries of slave traditions of whites, not talking about values.. pathetic. this new era england will see as a child standing outside of a candy store there there will be written in bold letter ' no englishmen allowed'

  • @deepakjindal070

    "Location: India"

    Sorry man, but without Britain your country has gone to shit. Quite literally in some cases.

  • @millard27 Riiight. White man's burden and manifest destiny and all that.

  • @deepakjindal070

    Maybe Britain should stop sending aid to your shit ridden country, along with every other western country.

  • @millard27 Hello millard 27, what are you talking about here sir? aid to my country? lol your country have inflation record of 1 trillion$ you government is cutting montary supply to your own country.. you talking abt giving money to india worlds top 3rd money power country?? get some basic educations first!!

  • @deepakjindal070

    Ironic that you tell m to get an education when i can barely understand your writing. You clearly don't understand what inflation is, you're talking about a deficit, every country has it and it's not $1 Trillion. And at least my country has montary support unlike India where the majority of people live in slums and walk around in their own shit.

  • @millard27 thanks to exploitation of british colonization.. this gonna be Britain in next century!!

  • @millard27 Your talking apsolute shit. India ARE the 3rd most wealthy nation. Although I have no doubt you are indeed educated, you are talking about things you have blatantly heard you parents talking about... either that or you just have a stupid way of putting half intelligent things.
