With the Oscars approaching, the nominees could use any 'bump' from any celebrity or others in the public eye. ideally, if you made a movie about a legendary British monarch, who would be the best possible person to get an endorsement from? What about the monarchs daughter how is now Queen?
Queen Elizabeth II had a private screening of "The King's Speech" and "was moved" by the film.
The news comes at a time when all the contenders for the Oscars are pulling out all the stops to wow the judges. In an official statement the production company said "we are deeply honored and humbled by Her Majesty's appreciation of the film. It was a labor of love for all of us, and this is high praise."
The movie about King George VI and his rise to the thrown has earned 12 Oscar nominations. This is great PR for the film in general and perfect timing in terms of publicity for the Oscars.
However, how much will this influence the movies chances on award night.
