Might I also add that there are age problems in this film.
During the time the film takes place, Elizabeth would have been in her fifties. The suitors were presented to her when she was in her twenties. 50's would be past her childbearing time.
Also, Blanchett does not look like she's in her 50's.
Also, Mary Queen of Scots was 44 or 45 when she died. She was old and grey (well, you know, for those days). The actress cast in her role was in her twenties. Also, with MQofS, it took 3 strikes to cut her head off. And they cut the best part. When she was beheaded, the executioner picked up her head and her wig came off showing everyone that she was as grey as an old, old lady. AND when her head was held aloft, her lips were still moving in prayer. Why on earth would any director leave that out? It's as cinematic as can be.
AND
SWR didn't command a ship. He was an adviser only. Not only that, but Bess gave birth 3 years after the war with the Spanish not before.
