    • Goofs
      On the ceiling of the art gallery, when Tony Armstrong-Jones hangs his photographs while talking to Princess Margaret in 1959, there are modern PAR 16 lighting fixtures mounted to a busbar. While the PAR reflector fixture was invented at the end of the 1950's in the USA, the PAR 16 variant came along only much later, and early PAR fixtures had a different look anyway. Moreover, there where no such streamlined busbars at the time.
    • Quotes

      Tommy Lascelles: I hope Your Majesty understands the context in which this discreet reconnaissance work was done and that it in no way represents a prurient, moralistic or censorious position. Mr. Armstrong-Jones is perfectly entitled in his private life to make those choices he wishes, indeed, to live as he wishes.

      [Michael clears throat]

      Tommy Lascelles: However, as with a great many artists, the, uh, conventional approach to life doesn't appear to fit. It seems that what makes his work notable is his willingness, his appetite, to break barriers and conventions, as he pushes his medium, photography, I believe, to its boundaries, and, um,

      [clears throat]

      Tommy Lascelles: as in art, so, it would appear, in life.

      Queen Elizabeth II: I see.

      Tommy Lascelles: [sighs] The narrow path, the straight, Christian path, is not to his taste. To the best of our knowledge...

      [unlocks briefcase]

      Tommy Lascelles: ... he is currently conducting no fewer than three other intimate relationships.

      Queen Elizabeth II: What? With whom?

      Tommy Lascelles: With a Miss Jacqui Chan, an Oriental dancer and singer. With Gina Ward, an actress. And with a Miss Robin Banks, his former assistant.

      Michael Adeane: These, we should add...

      Tommy Lascelles: Are just the natural ones.

      Queen Elizabeth II: What?

      Tommy Lascelles: There is good reason to suspect that Mr. Armstrong-Jones has a taste for members of his own sex and that his close friendship with his proposed best man, Mr. Jeremy Fry, is...

      Queen Elizabeth II: Yes.

      Tommy Lascelles: ...in fact...

      Queen Elizabeth II: All right, Tommy.

      Michael Adeane: Not to mention his wife.

      Queen Elizabeth II: Please.

      Tommy Lascelles: Camilla. Formerly Grinling. An erstwhile girlfriend of Armstrong-Jones.

      Michael Adeane: Who is now expecting, herself.

      Queen Elizabeth II: Do you have a photograph of her?

      Tommy Lascelles: We do. Thank you, Michael.

      [exhales]

      Tommy Lascelles: [Elizabeth gasps]

    8/10
    Margaret Redux
    While it is sad to see the struggles of the other royal daughter, her choices make her seem a bit pathetic. Anthony Armstrong-Jones is a womanizer and a sad figure on his own. He is very handsome and is trying to make an impression on his mother. While he bides his troth to Margaret, he is involved with other women, one of them pregnant. Elizabeth is aware of this and there is a edgy confrontation between them. Also, Margaret wants to announce her engagement, but Elizabeth is pregnant and she gets top billing for the time being. At times I got tired of the extended lovemaking scenes. I must be getting old.
