Aftermath

For my generation, it was the Kennedy assassination. As a high school kid who had no experience with the death of a loved one, I mourned for a guy had never met or knew very well. The empty feeling must have been there for people when the Princess was killed. The portrayal of the reactions of the Royal family was quite interesting. Prince Philip comes off as a consummate jerk. Play by the rules. She had her chance; she doesn't need any attention from the people she deserted! A theatrical method is used as Charles, Dodi's father, and the Queen, expose themselves by having conversations with the dead. It's not real in most ways, but is a clever way of delving into the subconscious. We get a glimpse of the feelings of the population. The Queen eventually addresses the nation from a teleprompter in her cold, emotionless, obligatory way. She never really gets it--at least that's how the actress portrays her.
