Queen Elizabeth amused by ‘The King’s Speech’
February 5th, 2011 - 12:19 am ICT by IANSLondon, Feb 4 (IANS) British monarch Queen Elizabeth II was “amused” by Colin Firth’s turn as her father George VI in “The King’s Speech”.The Queen enjoyed a private viewing of the Oscar-nominated movie, which features child actress Freya Wilson as the young monarch herself and the 84-year-old was said to have found the film “moving” in its portrayal of her dad’s battle with a stammer, reports thesun.co.uk.
“The Queen loves a good film. ‘The King’s Speech’ is close to the bone as it is a portrayal of her family in the 1930s. But she found it moving and enjoyable. She was clearly amused by some of the lighter moments,” said a source.
