Trivia
The real royal family name, Windsor, was changed to the fictional name Windham for the movie. Un-synched lip movements in a few parts (most notably the abdication scene) seem to suggest the change was made after the film was shot. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Ralph's hand on his own face changes position between shots as he is being addressed regally in his dressing room. See more »Quotes
