Trivia
The costuming and shot composition of the coronation scene is based on Elizabeth's coronation portrait. For example, Elizabeth is shown wearing her hair long. This is historically accurate, as the real Elizabeth was giving the public a sign of her virginity. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: In the featurette included on the DVD, the on-screen titling refers to the Duke of Norfolk, played by Christopher Eccleston, as her "Advisary." The correct spelling is "Adversary." See more »Soundtracks
