Sarah Gadon is a pretty Princess Elizabeth and her accent and acting are good. Unfortunately Bel Powley is too plump and unattractive for Princess Margaret. The real Princess Margaret was actually slim and the prettier one when she was young. So casting wise this movie was 50% right and 50% wrong. Rupert Everett is unrecognizable is King George VI. Emily Watson is okay as the Queen but still comes across a bit unregal.
The story itself is a fascinating fantasy with Roman Holiday fun of princesses going incognito into VE Day celebrations in London. It's a bit darker with more sleaze and groping.
Worth a watch for the interesting story.
