If there's one thing I can say regarding the people this movie is about, they were strong, strong people! It's also another one of those films that saddens me slightly when you see how awful human beings can be to each other.
Guy meets girl, they fall in love. She's a white English girl, he is an African King. It's the 1940's and as you can imagine no one is happy about it. What really amazed me was, instead of seeing it as an opportunity to unite two countries, everyone was doing everything to try and keep them apart. Unsurprisingly, there are diamonds involved. They are apart for so long, and it was all government and politics that caused it.
It's quite heart warming that actually in the end, the people in his country accept her as their "queen" and they make it through all those obstacles to be together. Love like that is rare.
