The story
VE Day, 1945. Across Europe, people are celebrating the end of the war. London overflows with celebration and excess. Two teenage princesses are allowed out that night to join the party. For the first time they are able to mingle with the teeming crowds, incognito.
Our two teenagers are Margaret (Bel Powley) and the future Queen of England, Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon). Home is Buckingham Palace.
A Royal Night Out also stars Rupert Everett as King George, Emily Watson as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Jack Reynor as Jack.
