Queen not amused by 'inaccuracies' in The Young Victoria film
The Queen has expressed her disapproval of historical inaccuracies in The Young Victoria and said some of the costumes were too German.
The monarch made her comments after special screening of the drama, whose producers include Martin Scorcese and the Duchess of York.
It tells the story of the young Queen Victoria and her romance with Prince Albert.
A source told the News of the World: "She thought the film had a lot of good points but she is a stickler for accuracy. She wasn't too impressed they had Albert diving in front of Victoria to take the bullet in an assassination attempt.
"It simply did not happen and Her Majesty questioned the need for such a dramatic inaccuracy. She also thought the uniforms worn by the British officers looked too Germanic."
