See the films the platforms disagree about most →Following the sudden death of Princess Diana, the British public's outpouring of grief creates a massive pressure on the Royal Family to respond. Queen Elizabeth II, adhering to traditional protocol, believes the matter is private. Her stance creates a growing rift with the new Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who understands the public's need for a symbolic gesture, leading to a tense behind-the-scenes conflict between modern expectations and ancient tradition.
