Royals on film: 5 to watch

The movies love royalty. They're particularly fond of English royalty. And they've got something of a soft spot for the Windsors, whose plentiful filmography probably ranks them alongside the Tudors (Henry VIII and all those Elizabeth I movies) among regal film families. One significant difference is that the current English royal family is the only one to have occupied the throne since the cinema was invented in 1895. Queen Victoria died in 1901; her son was Edward VII, and his son, George V, changed the family name in 1917 from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (inherited from Victoria's husband, Albert) because of anti-German sentiment. They all became Windsors -- the current queen is George V's granddaughter, and the fact that her whole family's been in the movies probably doesn't make her that happy.
