In 2006 Peter Morgan achieved international success when The Queen won Oscar glory for Helen Mirren and nominations for best director and screenplay. Faced with such success it can often be hard to determine the exact elements that had led to the transmutation of words and ideas into box office gold but luckily for Morgan this was not one of those times.

He has since recounted that looking back over this period of his life he was vividly aware of why he was able to write such a successful screenplay as he had accidentally stumbled onto something of immense significance: the relationship between our most senior political leader and our Head of State – the Prime Minister and the Monarch. He recounts:

Warners confirmed that having already improved infrastructure and reduced energy usage by more than 15%, it has been able to manage cost-increase pressures.
