A Royal Connection: Judi Dench as Lady Catherine, Rupert Friend as HRH Prince Albert, Keira Knightley as Duchess Georgiana, and other P&P actors in royal and noble characters (The Royal Edition)

The following Pride & Prejudice (2005) Actors: Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Judi Dench, Tom Hollander, Rosamund Pike, and Rupert Friend all have played various roles/characters in their long list of TV and film work (as well as stage plays) combine, but the most interesting and fascinating characters they had played (not once, but twice or a few times) and probably loved and enjoyed playing were the historical figures (whether they are fiction or real) with royal titles or Royal, noble and chivalric ranks. I noticed (and have seen some of) these talented P&P actors starred/co-starred in made for TV Movies and feature films playing roles with either royalty or hierarchy titles. So, I've compiled a list here of the following period films (including P&P movie with Dame Judi Dench herself playing Lady Catherine de Bourgh of Rosings Park and two very well-known royals such as her Oscar winning role of Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love and her other Oscar nominated role of Queen Victoria of Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown) they do best and had starred/co-starred with royal and noble titles. Some of these TV and films happened to be my favorite period films (P&P movie, The Young Victoria, and The Lost Prince to name a few) to watch. I highly recommend you check them out and see them.

Check out a compiled list of period (royal related) films starring the following P&P actors...

"I'm honored to have as my patroness Lady Catherine de Bourgh. You've heard of her, I presume. My small rectory abuts her estate, Rosings Park...[she has] one daughter, the heiress of Rosings and very extensive property. I've often observed to Lady Catherine that her daughter seemed born to be a duchess, for she has all the superior graces of elevated rank. " (Mr. Collins, Pride & Prejudice 2005 film)
