The choice of the topic is a bit racist and boastful. The heroine is seen by Arabs as a woman who has influence on the British authorities. She is called lady, which is far from queen. Clearly a British gunboat intimidating the colonists but likes to whitewash the charm of the British.
The film arrangement did not explain her influence either, and two kings were inexplicably designated at the end of the film. Although Aunt Kidman doesn't know each other anymore, she's almost 50. .
Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, CBE (14 July 1868– 12 July 1926) was an English writer, traveller, political officer, administrator, spy and archaeologist who explored, mapped, and became highly influential to British imperial policy-making due to her knowledge and contacts, built up through extensive travels in Greater Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and Arabia. Along with T. E. Lawrence, Bell helped support the Hashemite dynasties in what is today Jordanas well as inIraq.[2] She played a major role in establishing and helping administering the modern state of Iraq, utilising her unique perspective from her travels and relations with tribal leaders throughout the Middle East. During her lifetime she was highly esteemed and trusted by British officials and given an immense amount of power for a woman at the time[ why?]. She has been described as "one of the few representatives of His Majesty's Government remembered by the Arabs with anything resembling affection".[3]
