We all remember where we were and what we were doing when news of that fatal car crash touched us.

Diana's tragic death sent shock waves around the globe and was met with a huge outpouring of grief.

The Queen, a movie starring Helen Mirren, chronicles events that followed in the wake of Diana's death.

Helen Mirren renders a brilliant performance as Queen Elizabeth II, showing the difficulties inherent in living in the royal spotlight.

Members of the Royal family are sequestered and seemingly insulated against the shock of Diana's passing, while a British public expresses anguish over the death of their beloved Princess and demands an outward show of grief.

Mirren's performance stirs admiration. We are shown an increasingly outmoded monarchy but, in the end, viewers come away with a greater respect for the woman who is Queen.
