1* The opening conversation with the Queen and her portrait artist during Blair's election.
2--> '''Portrait Artist''': You may not have a vote, ma'am, but it is ''your'' government.
3--> '''HM Queen Elizabeth II''': Yes, I suppose that's some comfort.
4* Courtesy of the Queen Mum:
5-->If there is a photographer out there, he could be the first kill of the day.
6* The first Blair/Queen meeting:
7--> '''HM Queen Elizabeth II''': Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet?
8--> '''UsefulNotes/TonyBlair''': Er, no.
9--> '''HM Queen Elizabeth II''': First thing we do apparently, then we take away your passport and spend the rest of our time sending you around the world.
10--> '''Tony Blair''': You obviously know my job better than I do.
11--> '''HM Queen Elizabeth II''': Yes well, you are my tenth Prime Minister, Mister Blair. My first of course was UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, he sat in your chair in a frock coat and top hat. And he was kind enough to give a shy young girl like me quite an education.
12--> '''Tony Blair''': I would imagine.
13* Cherie Blair's EstablishingCharacterMoment after the Queen has to cut their meeting short for something implied to involve Diana. Observers of British politics called her portrayal the most accurate.
14--> ''[Impersonating the Queen]'' Thank you so much for coming, now ''fuck off!''
15* A very, ''very'' dark example, but funny if you can remember the real [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfWindsor Princess Margaret]]:
16--> '''Prince Philip''': I've just come off the phone to your sister.
17--> '''The Queen''': Well I hope you told her to come back and cut her holiday short.
18--> '''Prince Philip''': Of course.
19--> '''The Queen''': I imagine she wasn't best pleased.
20--> '''Prince Philip''': That's putting it mildly.
21--> '''The Queen''': What did she say?
22--> '''Prince Philip''': Something about Diana managing to be [[BlackComedy even more annoying dead than alive.]]
23* The Queen's corgis manage to be both adorable and funny.
24* This conversation between Blair and Campbell:
25--> '''Alistair Campbell''': You seen the papers?
26--> '''Tony Blair''': [[SarcasmMode No, I thought I'd give them a miss today]]. Of course I've seen the bloody papers!
27* The Queen getting her jeep stuck in the mud.
28--> '''The Queen''': [[PrecisionFStrike Oh bugger it.]]
29* The Queen steps into the kitchen at Balmoral to take a call, but her corgis are being a nuisance so she snaps at them with a loud "Out!" Cue the entire kitchen staff leaving thinking she was talking to them.
