• The film is based on John Guy’s book “Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart,” which suggests that Queens Mary and Elizabeth may have met face to face, contemplating the fate of their kingdoms. This idea is widely ridiculed, as it is generally believed that they only communicated through letters, as there is no historical evidence of a personal meeting.
• Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie saw each other in costume for the first time during the filming of the scene where their characters first meet. They rehearsed separately, and Robbie finished her rehearsals on the day Ronan began hers.
• Initially, Margot Robbie hesitated, unsure if she should accept the role of Elizabeth I (1533-1603). She only agreed to the role after receiving a letter from director Josie Rourke explaining why she saw only Robbie in the part.
• Saoirse Ronan was taught to ride by the same specialist who prepared Gal Gadot for her role in Patty Jenkins’s fantasy action film “Wonder Woman” (2017) – and on the very same horse.
