Oscar winner
Cate Blanchett has been voted the best royal in film for her portrayal of Elizabeth I, in a new poll.
Blanchett beat out Helen Mirren and Sean Connery for the number one spot.
"Us Brits are a bunch of royalists at heart, so there's always a lot of anticipation for [The Young Victoria]," said Fliss White of lovefilm.com.
"With a huge amount of pressure on the actors to get the portrayal just right, it's a great achievement to see Cate at number one - clearly Emily Blunt has a lot to live up to!"
