Trivia
The George pub used for various scenes is in The Land of Green Ginger in Hull and claims to have the smallest window in the world. This is basically a gap in between two wall stones that has been glazed. Apparently, in the old days, a boy would sit in the hollow wall and identify genuine hotel guests by looking through the window. He would then let them in by opening the courtyard gate. The window is about 1in by 10in

This film is really very funny, I don't know how else it could be described. It's not history and it's nowhere near accurate, but the jokes are delivered well and some are really laugh out loud funny. I would say take the plot with a pinch of salt and prepare your self for a fairy tale. Bel Powley is a hoot as P.No2, Sarah Gadon is the lovely P.No1 who finds a guardian angel in Jack Reynor. Rupert Everett made for a rather charming King George but I did wonder where Queen Elizabeth's (the Queen Mum) famous charm went. Emily Watson didn't really display much of it. All in all if you want to watch a really great staging of London celebrating VE Day 1945 and get some understanding of how stifling life in Buckingham Palace would have been for two very young girls. you could do a heck of a lot worse.
