“I have rid England of her enemies. What do I do now? Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?”

– Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett), Elizabeth (1998), written by Michael Hirst

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is kings, queens, princes, and princesses.

Trivia: 1998 was the only year that two performers were nominated for Academy Awards for playing the same character in two different films in the same year. Judi Dench was nominated (and won) for Best Supporting Actress for playing Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Cate Blanchett was nominated for Best Actress for portraying Elizabeth I in this film.
