In that production, Vanessa Redgrave's mother Rachel Kempson played Kat Ashley, Queen Elizabeth's governess during her childhood, and the Lady of the Bedchamber during the early part of her reign.

Goofs
The meetings between Queen Elizabeth I of England and Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland in the borderlands and in Mary's cell before her execution have no basis in any factual/historical account of these rulers. However, it is stated in the film that these meetings were secret and never mentioned even to Elizabeth's closest advisers.
