A Slate falou com Stephen Frears sobre "The Queen", uma entrevista elucidante que toca na maioria dos aspectos mais interessantes e ambíguos do filme. Uma das perguntas, aliás, está relacionada com um dos meus momentos preferidos da história:

"Slate: The film stays entirely within the time during which it takes place. But at one point the queen says to Blair, Someday this will happen to you. Was that in the film from the start, or was it added to the film later?

Frears: It was always there. An odd moment of prescience."
