As a wake-up call for royal siblings cloistered from their subjects during a time of national tragedy and triumph, this story manages to utilize historical context from the naïve perspective of two notable teenagers who, like all youthful enthusiasts, are driven to rebel against parental authority and kick up their regal heels. How many modern cinematic efforts manage to humorously blend fact-based narrative, coming of age, and iconoclastic irreverence, all set against a background of a mirthful celebration’s irresistible influence upon inflexible tradition? Have fun and carry on!
