UBel Powley ungene Ubusuku basebukhosini . Umbono oyintsomi wento eyayinokwenzeka ngobusuku bango-Meyi 8, 1945, xa uWinston Churchill wabhengeza ukuphela kweMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, ukuba amakhosazana aseNgilani awathandayo amakhosazana akwishumi elivisayo — u-Elizabeth onjenge-ladies kunye nodadewabo owoyikekayo uMargaret — babejoyine amawaka bonwabile kuhambo lwe-incognito oluya kumbindi weLondon, Ubusuku basebukhosini ayisosinye isityhilelo kulandelelwano lwembali Intetho yeKumkani , kodwa kuyonwabisa, kulungile-okuhle nokuba kunjalo.

Ngaphandle kwebhotwe laseBuckingham, izihlwele ziyagquma. Ngaphakathi, uKumkani othandekayo othintithayo (uRupert Everett) ulungiselela intetho yakhe edumileyo ye-VE Day ngelixa uKumkanikazi (uEmily Watson) elungiselela ishedyuli engqongqo yemisebenzi yaseburhulumenteni kuwo onke amalungu osapho lwasebukhosini ukuba ahloniphe kwaye ahloniphe njengefowuni yomsebenzi, kodwa bobabini amakhosazana akwishumi elivisayo anezicwangciso zawo. Baye bavalelwa iminyaka emithandathu yemfazwe njengaye wonke umntu, kwaye kobu busuku bokunqoba bafuna ukujoyina izihlwele zolonwabo oluthile-i-incognito, kunjalo. U-Elizabeth, oneminyaka eli-19 ubudala, obizwa ngokuba nguLilibet, uqinisekisa utata wakhe ukuba ukuba uphakathi kwesihlwele, angavavanya ngcono ukuba yeyiphi na impendulo ethembekileyo yoluntu. Udadewabo oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala uMargaret, obizwa ngokuba yiPrincess 2, ufuna nje ukusela i-champagne kwaye abonise ukuthanda kwakhe iLindy Hop kumdaniso weRitz Hotel. Ngaphezulu kwenkcaso yomama wabo, baya kunye nentsikelelo enobubele yeKumkani, ebizwa ngokuba yiBertie, echazwe ngokufanelekileyo ngamagosa amabini avela kwi-Chelsea Barracks. Oku kwenzeka nyani ngo-1945, kodwa ukusukela ngexesha beshiya iBuckingham Palace akuthandabuzeki ukuba yonke into eyenzekayo kule bhanyabhanya ayiyongxaki nje.
Kungekudala, bazifumana bekwi-conga line eRitz, abanangxaki yokuhlukana nabakhaphi babo, okanye omnye komnye, kwaye uElizabeth uphulukana nesithende sakhe phakathi kweemoto ngelixa uMargaret ephelela kwindawo yokungcakaza engekho mthethweni apho umntu atyibilika khona Imickey kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo iwela phakathi kwezigebenga kunye namantombazana asebenzayo, enexesha lobomi bakhe. Ngomhla wobusuku ekhangela ukuhleka kwakhe, umntakwabo ongenakuziphendulela, uElizabethe uhlangulwa ngumntu osebenzayo osebenza emoyeni ogama linguJack oye waya kwi-AWOL (edlalwa nge-magnetic brio nge-star-in-inkqubela phambili uJack Reynor, odlala uMalcolm oza kutshabalala, ngokufanelekileyo indlalifa kwitrone kule veki IMacbeth ).
Umboniso bhanyabhanya uhamba ngamandla kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zokubaleka, ukusuka eRitz ukuya eTrafalgar Square, iklabhu yeCurzon eMayfair, iphini lendawo apho umntu alindele ukuba amawele eKray abonakale nangaliphi na ixesha, kunye nothando olubonisa ukubonwa komlilo ngaphezulu kwesi sixeko Iphenyane kuMlambo iThames. UMlawuli uJulian Jerrold ( Iibhotshi zikaKinky ibamba imincili yeLondon ekhululwe emva kweBlitz ngobuqaqawuli obugcweleyo bokuthanda izwe, ukusuka kwiitshisi zeBig Ben ukuya kwizibane zePalamente, kungasathethwa ke ngobuso babantu baseBritani abakhaliphileyo, abancinci nabadala, bebhiyozela amaxabiso abawalwileyo. amaJamani ukuba afune kwakhona ilizwe kunye nelizwe. Konke kuphuculwe bubuhle bemifanekiso bhanyabhanya etshisiweyo kaChristophe Beaucarne ( ICoco Chanel ) kunye nejazz enkulu yebhanti yexesha. UGlenn Miller, nabani na?
Ubusuku basebukhosini Yifilimu yomtsalane omkhulu, ubume kunye nentando elungileyo, enkosi ikakhulu kwizikhokelo ezintathu. Umlingisi waseKhanada uSarah Gadon wenza iNkosazana uElizabeth enobubele, enobulumko nenesidima, etyhila ezinye zeempawu isimilo sakhe esiya kuthi kamva sidume ngokuba yinkosi elandelayo yaseNgilane, nanjengeNkosazana uMargaret obalekayo, obalekayo, uBel Powley uhlala emdumisa. Inkqubo ye- Idayari yaMantombazana aFikisayo . Ekugqibeleni kohambo lwabo olumangalisayo, iRoyal Highnesses yabo ifumanisa okuninzi ngezifundo zabo kunokuba bebeza kufunda ngasemva kweendonga zenqaba.
Kodwa sisicatshulwa esiphakamisa iinkophe zokukholelwa, ngakumbi kwimidlalo yokugqibela ehlekisayo. (Isidlo sakusasa eBuckingham Palace noJack efuna kuKing George VI iiponti ezisixhenxe awazichitha ekufikiseni uElizabeth ekhaya ngokukhuselekileyo emvuleni? Andicingi njalo.) UJack unomsindo ngamava akhe emfazwe kwaye uyayicaphukela inkqubo yeklasi yaseBritane, kodwa Ubukrwada obungenantloko kunye nokungabikho kwembeko xa efunda ukuba ungubani uElizabethe okwenyani akuqinisekisi kwaphela. Kukwanjalo nokuphela kokonwaba apho uKumkanikazi olandelayo waseNgilane amqhubela ukuba abuyele emkhosini wakhe kwaye amqinisekise ukuba abuyele kwiRoyal Air Force.
Khange nditsho ukuba ibingenasiphako, kodwa kukonwaba okuninzi ukufunyanwa apha ongayi kusuka kuko Ubusuku basebukhosini Ndiva ngathi uchithe ixesha lakho. Igcwalisa imizuzu engama-97 kakuhle, ngoncumo oluncinci.
