In an Oscar- and BAFTA-winning portrayal, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the days following the tragic, unexpected death of Princess Diana, as the monarchy struggles to comfort a heartbroken nation.

Stephen Frears directed Helen Mirren to her first Oscar® with this superb biographical portrait of late Queen Elizabeth II. Set amid the rise of New Labour and the fallout following the death of Princess Diana, The Queen incisively illustrates a clash between cultural values old and new.
