CGiii Comment
Just watch it for Mirren's performance - intoxicating.
It is a little strange, but...'Alistair Campbell' steals the show!!!
No-one is shown in a good light...a decent stab at the establishment.

The(ir) Blurb...
Diana the 'People's Princess' has died in a car accident in Paris. The Queen and her family decide that for the best, they should remain hidden behind the closed doors of Balmoral Castle. The heartbroken public do not understand and request that the Queen comforts her people. This also puts pressure on newly elected Tony Blair, who constantly tries to convince the monarchy to address the public.
