Trivia
The film was released the same year as the mini-series Elizabeth R in which Glenda Jackson also played Queen Elizabeth I. In that production, Vanessa Redgrave's mother Rachel Kempson played Kat Ashley, Queen Elizabeth's governess during her childhood and the Lady of the Bedchamber during the early part of her reign.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the film, Queen Elizabeth I of England travels to the north of England to meet Queen Mary of Scotland. In recorded history, this meeting never took place - the two queens never met in their lifetimes. However, it is stated in the film that the meeting is secret, and never mentioned even to Elizabeth's closest advisors. This explains how such a meeting could take place, but not be recorded historically. See more »Quotes
