Let’s be real, Queen Elizabeth looked a lot younger in the film than the age she was supposed to be – 52. Of course, this is because Cate Blanchett was 36 when the movie was released – but this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Ivan the Terrible, who romantically pursues the Queen in the film, actually was supposed to have already died by that point in time. It is also a common belief that the movie makes Queen Elizabeth seem less powerful than she actually is.
