"The Queen"

I don't know what to say about The Queen and film director Stephen Frears, so I won't say much at all. But if I thought monarchy was about the private lives of the Royal Family, then I too would think the institution was idiotic and probably not worth the while. Royal watchers might live for this kind of intrigue - luckily, I'm not one of them. What Her Majesty does within the confines of her own family is none of our business. How the Queen carries out her public duties is. So carry on, Mr. Frears.
