Continuity: When Daphne is playing with the dog, in one shot her hair is out, then the camera goes to the princess, then back to Daphne and her hair is tucked behind her ear.

Factual error: During any British election, the Queen avoids making public appearances in order to avoid influencing the election turnout. She usually stays at Windsor castle and would not have hosted such events as the garden party.

Other: In the scene where the photos of Daphne are flashing by, you see her in a photograph which was supposedly taken at the Chelsea Charity Auction. In the caption, "auction" is spelled incorrectly.

Continuity: In the scene where Daphne is dressing for the Queen's garden party & goes to put on her black high-heels, she has a boot on one foot, bangles on her arm and black fingernail polish on her hand. Daphne had already removed the polish and put away her American clothes in a prior scene about the changes she makes to be a Dashwood.

Audio problem: After Daphne has walked down the runway after the unintentional entering, when she poses at the end of her walk, she falls off the runway and into the arms of a British man. He supposedly says something like, "Are you all right?", but the way his lips move don't make it look like that is what he has said.

Continuity: When Libby tells the story of how she met Henry, you see her falling down a hill. Her guitar is rolling really hard. However, in the next shot it's just gliding gently down the hill.

Factual error: When Henry is showing Daphne the portraits of her ancestors, he indicates that Field Marshall Dashwood lost an arm at the Battle of the Nile.....interesting, because the Nile was a naval battle, and the field Marshall was in the army.
