Historical Notes
- Much of the content of this episode, particularly in relation to the Queen's working relationship with Tony Blair and their differing perspectives on leadership, is also addressed in the film "The Queen", also written by Peter Morgan.
Trivia
- The Garter has a cypher "TR" instead of "AR", which means "Tony Rex" is inaccurate, since Tony Blair's full name is Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, but may have been used because he is best known as Tony.
- The so called "national anthem", "Things Will Only Get Better" was used during Tony Blair's premiership campaign
