Special features: The making of 'The Queen;' Feature commentary with director Stephen Frears and writer Peter Morgan; feature commentary with British historican and royal expert Robert Lacey
An intimate, moving portrait of Queen Elizabeth and Tony Blair following the untimely death of Princess Diana. The Queen's restrained reaction causes a public relations debacle that Prime Minister Blair must defuse.
