Reflections regarding elected power / inherited power in the British monarchy)

Throughout the film, the two powers frequently collide, showing two different views on the British society. First is the traditional view, represented by the Queen, her inherited power's legitimity being constantly challenged by her people who seem to believe more in the modernity embodied by Prime Minister Tony Blair. Indeed, the monarchy refuses to listen to the will of people concerning the burial of "Princess" Diana in Buckingham Palace which would go against the royal traditions. Moreover, the apparent impassibility of the Queen is confronted to the deep sorrow of her people. In the end, the elected power wins since the will of the people is granted by Diana's national funeral and tribute.
We can conclude that even though British people are profoundly attached to their monarchy and traditions, their defiance towards the Queen and her refusal to listen to the people's requests show the limit of inherited power whose role doesn't make he royals care for the people's will. Conversely, an elected power must be regardful when taking decisions as its position is always at stake.
