But we are all part of the same fabric of our national society and that scrutiny, by one part of another, can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of gentleness, good humour, and understanding.' The speech was deemed the first time that the Queen's inner turmoil and vulnerability regarding her own life was shown openly to the world. As worn by Imelda Staunton (as the Queen) in the scene where she views the damage caused by the fire at Windsor Castle. The headscarf in this lot is designed by Sidonie Roberts.
