The Queen is a 2006 biographical drama film that depicts the events following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Initially, the Royal Family regards Diana's death as a private affair and thus not to be treated as an official royal death, in contrast with the views of Prime Minister Tony Blair and Diana's ex-husband, Prince Charles, who favour the general public's desire for an official expression of grief.
