A few months later, Princess Diana was found dead on a car accident. Blair then makes a public statement, written by his director of communications, Alastair Campbell, in which he describes Diana as "the People's Princess." As soon as the queen got the news, the queen told Blair that Diana's death was a private matter since Diana divorced his son a year before.
Boquets of flowers starts to be seen near the palace as expression of sympathy by the people. Not long, the tabloids were impatient for the public condolence from the family. This idea was by Blair.
Blair wants to save the Queen from themselves. But he respects the queen. After days of building pressure, Blair calls the Queen at Balmoral and urgently recommends a course of action he believes is needed to retain (or regain) the public's confidence in the Monarchy. These measures include attending a public funeral for Diana at Westminster Abbey, flying a Union Flag at half mast over Buckingham Palace (a step without precedent in four centuries of royal protocol), and speaking to the nation about Diana's legacy in a live, televised address from the Palace.
In a scene, the queen's car broke down. She saw a deer which made her remembered about the deer somewhat close to her that had been killed by a neighbor hunter. She remembered that she had still showed sympathy to it even though it does no have a connection with her.
