Is "the queen" in the movie "The Queen" starring Helen Mirren the actual reigning queen?

Question

I know this may sound like a dumb question but when the Queen visited our nation this past week, I was wondering if that is the same queen that was portrayed in the movie. I don't know too much about the English monarchy.

Answer 1

The movie is BASED ON the current reigning Queen of England, the one who recently visited the U.S., but obviously the real queen did not play herself in the movie.

I haven't actually seen the movie, but I know the trailers discuss the death of Princess Diana, and the same Queen has reigned since long before then.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes it was the same queen portrayed as was here if you noticed that the Prime Minister was Tony Blair you might have caught this on your own

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

yes and the Queen who  visited our nation invited Helen Mirren for dinner, they haven't yet though.

Answer 6

Yes the movie was made to portray the queen.  It is the same queen as she has held the title since 1952 though the movie was based on event ten yrs in the past when Princess Diana Died

Answer 7

nope it was an alien

Answer 8

No the Queen of England does not appear in movies.  She is a Queen.

Answer 9

Yes, it is a theatrical presentation of the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.  And - it is a wonderful film..see it if you can.

Answer 10

Yep

Answer 11

yes it is

Answer 12

Yes - and they met after the moving came out.

Answer 13

It is the same Queen - Queen Elizabeth II.  "The Queen" is a somewhat (really?) fictionalized account of how Queen Elizabeth handled Princess Diana's death in the late 1990s.

Answer 14

Yes. Queen Elizabeth II has been on the thrown for nearly 60 years.

Answer 15

One and the same. Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth II the very queen that just paid us a visit.

Answer 16

Yes, and no question is dumb.  Never be reluctant to ask what you don't know, or else how will you ever know?

Answer 17

Yes, the very same and she wore her crown all during the visit

Answer 18

Yes, Queen Elizabeth II is still the reigning queen

Answer 19

Yes, and Helen Mirren created a minor tiff when she declined dinner with the  queen.  She will in all likelihood never get that chance again.  You don't snub the Queen.
