it be impossible to fault this make for tv film the principal make an attractive couple while the period be well evoke while the setting be suitably glamorous and the support cast be particularly strong . there be a deft touch run throughout represent the abdication crisis could have be play in a grinding and maudlin manner but it be handle summarily and almost underplayed . what particularly convince be the abdication speech and in the context of the film this historic give ring absolutely true . quite an achievement . however and it be still a make for tv biopic the historic character be necessarily paint a little bland and it be inescapably light entertainment . there be much humour and subtle digging at the royal family but not without affection . altogether and this film be far good than one could have reasonably expect and far more enjoyable too . there be some hint towards the end of the narrative and of the sadness of the life of exile that the windsor lead and but that be a whole other movie . there be clear resonance in the movie of camilla and charles i think this be deliberate for the contemporary audience but not overstate . some of the historical context be a revelation represent churchill consider form a king party to champion the cause of edward and mrs. simpson i. e. by no mean be the whole county in favour of abdication . when all be say and do and the story be a real life tragedy out of the shakespearian mold and and one worthy of the retelling . my mother be at a girls school at the time and the whole class listen to the abdication speech in tear . the hold of the story at the time be intense a that other shakespearian tragedy in our time of diana .
