That extraordinary crack in her regal facade gave credence to a rumor that surfaced in early February to the effect that Elizabeth had presented her son with an ultimatum to marry Diana by this summer, or not at all. Reportedly she had said: "The idea of this romance going on for another year is intolerable to everyone...
...once had a hound killed for losing the scent in a foxhunt. Like unskilled pickpockets, her attendants try to plunder her last remaining jewelry. A marvelously comic doctor-apothecary team (John Bottom and Ron Faber) get the Queen deliriously squiffed on drugs before she attains her final serenely regal composure...
