This research aims to analyze speech acts on Peter Morgan’s movie script The Queen directed by Stephen Frears, written by Peter Morgan, and starred by Helen Mirren as the queen Elizabeth II and then Michael Sheen as the youngest Prime Minister as main characters in this film. The story is about how to deal with the death of Diana.
