"The fact that this wonderful little relationship was hidden away from all of us. The fact that it resonates with so much stuff that's happening today. It's essentially a story of this one boy who seems naïve, but he’s not; he’s a very learned man. He was well-educated. He sees through all that royal protocol and all those clothes and culture and comes across one of the most powerful women on the planet."
