 Her Majesty's Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Her Majesty's Government (or, when the sovereign is male, His Majesty's Government) (HMG) is the formal title used by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the governments of some other kingdoms where executive authority is theoretically vested in the monarch and exercised through his/her ministers.
With the development of the Commonwealth, the self-governing Dominions came to be seen realms of the British Sovereign equal in status to the United Kingdom, and from the 1920s and 30s the form "His Majesty's Government in..." began to be used by United Kingdom and Dominion governments.
The acronym HMG is often used by members of the government and their advisers as a convenient short label to describe British Ministers and the senior civil servants (mandarins) in Departments of the United Kingdom Government.

 PBS : Empires : Queen Victoria : Her Majesty : Queen Victoria
Once Princess Charlotte, the only legitimate child of the Prince of Wales, the future George IV, died in childbirth late in 1817, her son stillborn, the nation was plunged into mourning and her unmarried uncles stirred into competition to sire an heir to the throne.
Rumor had it that he was sexually intimate with her, even that they were secretly married, and in 1869 a scandal sheet claimed that the Queen (in her 50th year) had gone to Switzerland to covertly bear his child.
Her very openness about Brown belied such intimacies, but without a husband to embrace she seems to have savored being clutched by him as he helped on and off her horses, and in and out of her carriages.

To her public, the Queen was seen favorably by the friendly circumstances in which she lived with her servants in Scotland.
Her son Leopold went to her dressing room and "broke the dreadful news to me that my good faithful Brown had passed away." It was a terrible blow to Victoria.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Her Majesty (xhtml)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
"Her Majesty" is the kind of movie where you start out smiling, and then smile more broadly, and then really smile, and then realize with a sinking heart that the filmmakers are losing it.
Elizabeth H keeps smiling, preserves her pluck, and dutifully rehearses with the girl's drill team, and we would like to relax and smile with her and wish her the best, but we are distracted by the vile little desperado and his band of degenerate buddies.
"Her Majesty," directed by Mark J. Gordon, will work perfectly well for its intended audience of girls about Elizabeth H's age, which is 12; they will like her pluck and spirit, and won't ask themselves if her brother is a little over the top, since at that age they consider most brothers to be monsters.

 Her Majesty - Rotten Tomatoes
Set in 1953, HER MAJESTY is a widely appealing coming of age story about a young girl who realizes her lifelong dream when Queen Elizabeth comes to visit her small hometown.
Her Majesty has worse problems than a lack of realism, namely mediocre direction and acting that’s at the level of bad community theatre.
Her Majesty has all the makings of a perfectly charming family picture, and then the plot runs off the rails.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Her Majesty both is and is not there, in the “UNIVERSAL EXPORTS.” “James Bond,” of course, is a Universal Export — perhaps, in the 1960s, Britain’s key universal export.
He is always carrying her shoes and chasing behind — that is, always carrying the trace of her — until the end of the film, when he is still ultimately alone.
While On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is attempting to position the past Bond films as passing through the hourglass — foregrounding the ’60s Bond as coming and going — and thus attempting presumably to clean the slate for another era of Bond movies, the film is also foregrounding the memorialization of the ’60s Bond.

"Her Majesty," another New Zealand-shot film, doesn't add to the island nation's movie legacy, despite the noble intentions of its director, actors and crew.

Though initially screened on the festival circuit in 2001, "Her Majesty" opens in U.S. theaters this weekend thanks, in part, to the success of "Whale Rider." In a way, they're sister films: Each has a young female star and strong Maori social elements.

 Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Her Majesty"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In contrast to "The End", "Her Majesty" it provides sufficient comic relief to those for whom the previous track is too sombre or stuffy, without ruining or even diluting that same track's lush sentiment for those who like it just the way it is.
However, an outtake of "Her Majesty" from the 1/24/69 "Get Back" sessions at Apple shows the song was already quite worked out well in advance.
In terms of style, "Her Majesty" sounds like a strange cross between "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and the "Goodbye" song Paul wrote for Mary Hopkin.
