    Not exactly, or at least not entirely.

According to the Victoria and Abdul true story, the jail's superintendent, John Tyler, had met the Queen at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of ...

Compounding that was their jealousy of Karim. He was afforded privileges they weren't, such as traveling with her through Europe; honors; titles; personal gifts; a private carriage...

    Yes. Dench starred as Victoria 20 years earlier in the 1997 movie Mrs. Brown, which explored the close relationship she had with her Scottish servant and confidante John Brown following the death of her husband Albert. The movie's title refers to the nickname that other staff members gave the Queen behind her back. Like her friendship with Abdul Ka...
