Corrected entry: Laetitia Knollys did not die by wearing Queen's poisoned dress as shown in the film but rather lived til her 90s and in 1578 married Robert Dudley himself.
Correction: The dead woman was her governess Kat Ashley. She even calls out her name in the hallways up to her dead body.
It most certainly was Lettice Knollys in the dress in the film, as you can see it is Kelly McDonald lying on the floor. Dudley had flirted with her earlier, just outside the Queen's bedchamber, calling her 'beautiful'. Kat Ashley (Emily Mortimer) is later on cutting Elizabeth's hair while sobbing during the Queen's 'rebirth' at the end of the film.
