The titular “mad black woman” is divorced by her philandering husband, (literally) kicked out of their palatial home, and forced to resume residence with her psychotic grandmother Madea.

As titular head of the Anglican Church, the Queen is undoubtedly familiar with the story of Henry VIII and his precedent-setting marriage after a previous divorce. Thus, it seems slightly bizarre that she would choose to avoid her son’s second marriage, despite its strong sanction from English history...
