The Queen / Kraljica 2006.

The Queen is a 2006 British drama film that depicts the aftermath of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on 31 August 1997. The film was directed by Stephen Frears, written by Peter Morgan, and starring Helen Mirren in the title role of Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Family regards Diana`s death as a private affair and thus not to be treated as an official Royal death. This is in contrast with the views of 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`s release coincided with a revival of favourable public sentiment in respect to the monarchy and a downturn in fortunes for Blair, whose resignation came several months later. Michael Sheen reprised his role as Blair from The Deal, and he did so again in The Special Relationship. The film garnered general critical and popular acclaim for Mirren, for which she swept almost every Best Actress award of the awards season of the year. Mirren was also praised by the Queen herself and was invited to dinner at Buckingham Palace after the film`s release. However, Mirren could not attend due to filming commitments in Hollywood
