And, boy that Prince Phillip is a dick (at least he was protrayed as one.)

I saw it over the weekend as well. I thought it was well done, and it gave me some insight as to why the Queen handled Diana's death the was she did. If the movie was indeed acurate, that is.

And yes, I wanted to slap Philip as well. Charles was portrayed as a sniveling idiot. I don't know how acurate that was either.
