Somehow if they'd imagined they might be up for a Best Costume Oscar this might not have happened.

When other Royal costume pics are made they always get The Royal Standard right - which is the monarch's personal flag - and now I wonder if Balmoral tartan was used in the film "Mrs. Brown"?

One of the great skills of UK film production is design - all those tiny details which add up to a completely believable look.

In any case, it didn't spoil the scene for me - they got their point across eloquently.
