It took me forever to watch this because of the conflicting reviews. I read all the user reviews & then went thru the critic reviews & couldn't decide because of all the differences of opinions. I wish I wouldn't of waited so long. If anything see this for the gorgeous old-fashioned scenery of countryside, the horse & buggy pulling up to a majestic castle, the royality getting helped out & walking into the regal interior of the castle. I loved watching the sharp uniformed butlers bow the speech & rituals they knew by heart. All the colorful costumes & beautiful dresses! I love the traditions & customs of Royalty. I liked watching the two little princes get their private school lessons from a Professor. It's unbelievable to see what the help goes through to prepare for the arrival of a King & Queen. There wasn't lawnmowers back then so they had to cut & manicure those huge lawns around the castle with sickles! They cleaned, dried, & shined all the floors on their hands & knees. Besides the cleaning they had to figure out the meals to cook. And what to do if the King or Queen shows up late or early or sleeps in hours past breakfast. I enjoy listening to the Princess speak & dance. She had such command & perfect manners. If you like being transported to a beautiful era rich in tradition & seeing what it would be like to live the life of a Princess, this movie will fascinate you.
