Excellent point about Balmoral that I had not considered. It is literally and figuratively the sanctuary of a painfully introverted woman-outside its gates, she’s under constant scrutiny. In fact, there is a scene at the Balmoral gates that explicitly dramatizes the climax of Elizabeth’s struggle as she emerges to take up her public performance.

A straightforward but amazingly sympathetic portrait of a most peculiar institution as well as the flesh-and-blueblood human being who has devoted her entire life to it.
