free? not free? Or relative freedom?

A film that requires patience and perseverance, the reason why G and Princess Diana are linked is because their fates are so strikingly similar, the magical reincarnation of fate.
The same innocent girls, lucky one day, became a duchess/princess of incomparable honor and glory, but their married life is not as beautiful as a fairy tale. What awaits them is the indifference of their husbands and the loneliness of their souls. Some people say " Her husband is the only man in town who doesn't love her", so similar to the beloved Princess Diana, neither of them were happy in their marriages, or sadly free, but they both did politically Outstanding achievements are remembered by people.
When G was talking about freedom with politicians at the beginning of the film, she mocked that where there is relative freedom, either freedom or not, relative freedom is such a ridiculous and vague concept, could there be relative death? However, her subsequent fate dramatically illustrates that freedom can only be relative, because she could never get real freedom in her life and was imprisoned in the shackles of marriage. She lost her dignity in her marriage with the duke, lost her children in her relationship with her lover, and lost her love in her joyous reunion with her children. No matter what, she could not gain true freedom, and that relative freedom accompanied her throughout her life.
And for G, what is life? It's tenacity and compromise, or sacrifice. She lived a life of value and weight in such a social environment and such a marriage and family, so she was remembered by future generations.
