– May 8, 1945:. Full UK celebrating the victory over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II. Throughout the UK? No. In Buckingham Palace to fight two princesses for their right to party
The film “A Royal Night” deals with the first night of freedom for London after years of war fear -. And probably the last, if not single night of freedom for Princess Margaret and especially her big sister Elizabeth, the future Queen.
The fact that the two then 14 and 19-year-old princess left the palace to that night in the midst of crowds peace to celebrate in Europe, that they went to dance into the Hotel Ritz, is known. What could have happened that night, showing the director Julian Jarrold now in his film, which is subtitled “A royal treat” carries in English.
Before we can get to this pleasure, have the two young ladies, however, once her parents King George VI. (Rupert Everett, “My Best Friend’s Wedding”) and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother played by Emily Watson) convincing. “My George VI. is above all a father who by his daughters makes “actor Everett said in an interview in Munich. That’s why he also sees himself not to compete for Academy Award winner Colin Firth, whose portrayal of stuttering King in “The King’s Speech” is already legendary today. “Colin was of course brilliant, and I play George VI. yes only in a supporting role. “
In fact, it’s in the movie mainly to the two girls and their dealing with the unexpected freedom for one night. With a lot of sympathy and a gentle joke Jarrold Director accompanied the princesses in the strange world outside the palace walls. He dispensed too schenkelklopferische peppers.
Bel Powley plays Princess Margaret, although quite humorous, but never disrespectful, and Sarah Gadon is an equally dutiful as lovable young Elizabeth that her father jumps bravely into the breach, when the common man goeth about him. But she also has a – naturally harmless and marked by restraint of royal – short adventure with a young man from the working class (Jack Reynor), she even takes along to the royal breakfast table at Buckingham Palace. In this film worlds collide, and this is certainly to look very entertaining.
