Blair is accused of lifting lines from a 2006 film and including them in his autobiography, released in 2011

Tony Blair has been accused of using lines from the film The Queen in his autobiography.

Scriptwriter Peter Morgan said he believed the former Prime Minister’s memory of real events had become ‘blurred’ by watching the movie. 

Lines in Mr Blair’s 2011 autobiography, My Journey, were uncannily similar to those written for his character in the 2006 film, Mr Morgan told National Public Radio in the US.

The film focuses on Mr Blair’s audiences with the Queen, played by Dame Helen Mirren, immediately after the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

It paints a flattering picture of the then youthful PM, played by Michael Sheen, who deftly convinces Her Majesty to respond to Diana’s death with greater warmth.

Mr Morgan said: ‘In his book, which of course came out many years after we made The Queen, Tony Blair, when referring back to that critical period in the immediate aftermath of Diana’s death, used a number of expressions and quotations that seemed to me to be very familiar because they sounded like my dialogue.

‘And I remember thinking, “I can’t have got it that right!” ’

Mr Morgan did not cite any specific examples. However, in one of the scenes, the Queen’s private secretary asks Sheen’s Mr Blair if the phrase ‘the people’s princess’ is a ‘bit over the top’.

Mr Blair subsequently wrote in his autobiography: ‘The phrase “people’s princess” now seems like something from another age. And corny. And over the top.’

Mr Blair’s spokesman said: ‘He has never watched The Queen.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
