影片對白 I prefer to keep my
feelings to myself, and foolishly, I believed that was what people wanted from
their Queen - not to make a fuss, nor wear one's heart on one's sleeve. Duty
first, self second.

伊麗莎白女王和首相布萊爾在戴安娜王妃葬禮上的致辭
Funeral of Diana, Princess of
Wales
by Tony Blair
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and
have not love, I arn nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor.
and though I give my body to be burned. And have not love, it profiteth me
nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly. seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether
there be tongues. they shall cease; whether tliere be knowledge, it shall vanish
away. For we know in part. And we prophesy in part. But when that which is
perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: hut when I became a man. I put away
childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known And now
abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
思想火花
對于這部影片的拍攝，工作人員自然是做了大量細(xì)致的考據(jù)工作，力求每個細(xì)節(jié)都能符合當(dāng)時的情況，不會被王室和政府提出非議。女王和首相的胸懷也著實可嘉，允許這樣一部電影的拍攝。海倫·米倫在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上向女王表示了敬意："And
I salute her courage and her consistency, and I thank her because if it wasn't
for her, I most certainly would not be here. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
the Queen!"
“這部電影在時間的跨度上就是布萊爾和女王的兩次見面以及這之間的一段時間。第一次見面是布萊爾接受首相認(rèn)命，第二次見面是二者在戴安娜死亡事件之后的再次會面，這中間自然就是共同面對戴安娜死亡事件的時間。在第一次會面女王還是有足夠的傲慢的，她自然也知道她面對的是所謂的激進(jìn)改革派的工黨首相，在第二次會面的時候，布萊爾有足夠的資本希望這次女王給他足夠的禮遇，因為在戴安娜死亡事件的處理上，他給女王和王室足夠的支持了，當(dāng)然，女王也給了她相應(yīng)的回報，最終，兩者像朋友一樣可以在倫敦伯金漢宮的草坪上漫步。戴安娜這位布萊爾稱作"人民王妃"的死亡帶給改革派的首領(lǐng)和必須面對現(xiàn)代社會變遷的女王帶來了如此好的潤滑作用。對于這個作用的詼諧、調(diào)侃和感傷的復(fù)雜情愫就是這部作品的微言大義。”（網(wǎng)易）
