Robert Dudley was a close and trusted friend to Elizabeth throughout her entire life. The film led to many misconceptions about her "Lord Robert." One is that they had a sexual relationship. Elizabeth and Robert did in fact have "deep feelings of affection" for each other but Elizabeth never acted on "childish passion." In the film she and Robert were shown making love right in front of all her ladies-in-waiting. In reality "Elizabeth lived and died a virgin." There were spies everywhere that recorded in writing everything that went on in court. Nothing was kept secret and no one had any privacy, including the queen. Furthermore, Elizabeth's virginity was of interest to everyone in the sixteenth century (Gillet 2).
In the film Robert Dudley was also found guilty of treason. This never happened. "He was involved with the plan for Norfolk to marry Mary Stuart and it was not, to begin with, a plot to kill Elizabeth. When it turned that way, Robert abandoned it immediately and told the Queen exactly what was going on" (elizabethi.org). Mid-film Elizabeth also finds out that Dudley is already married. In reality Elizabeth knows that Robert is already married because she attended the wedding. She did not care that Robert was married for his wife lived in the country away from court (Levin 5).
Francis Walsingham was a key figure in the film, yet not a key figure in English politics until the second decade of Elizabeth's reign. Along with that discrepancy, he also never traveled to Scotland to seduce and poison Mary of Guise, Elizabeth's rival. The film also portrayed Walsingham as a homosexual, a scene early in the movie showed him slit the throat of a young boy, his supposed lover. Francis Walsingham was "happily married, a very religious man" (elizabethi.org 2). Walsingham also lists, along with Dudley, Sussex and Gardiner as traitors. These facts are also wrong. Sussex was never a traitor and Gardiner was long since dead (Levin 6).
