简介：

影片描述1997年戴安娜王妃车祸意外身亡后英国王室所发生的事。

影片以一个轰动全球的娱乐事件为背景罗列出被摄像机镁光灯扭曲了光环的英国皇室众生相。

　　英国导演史蒂芬·弗莱尔斯是各大电影节常客，纽约电影节、威尼斯电影节都印证过他的光辉成就，而2005年由朱迪·丹奇主演的亨德逊夫人的礼物Mrs.HendersonPresents（2005）在奥斯卡更是荣获多项提名。

史蒂芬·弗雷尔斯的作品有着浓烈正宗的英国血统，无论是关注利物浦底层生活的莱姆Liam（2000）或是剖析上流社会与媒体失常的微妙关系的《女王》，他都在用一种英国本土的语言解释着他的国家。

　　　入选第63届意大利威尼斯国际电影节竞赛单元！
