Storyline
Nearly 30 years into his reign, in 1788, King Goerge III is once more getting ready for the opening of Parliament. Queen Charlotte balances her responsibilities as a loving wife and a mother to their 15 children deftly. Nevertheless, despite the façade of outward respectability, something is drastically wrong inside Windsor Castle. The King is acting in an increasingly insane manner; he babbles nonstop, hurls insults, and attacks Lady Pembroke, the Queen’s Mistress of Robes.

“Movies are not the book. Movies are not even the screenplay. They are the movie.”
