@All of the above. I'm going to be incredibly narrow minded and assume none of you are actually English/from the British Isles. While her English is vastly better than Kongous (which is supposed to be bad because of mixed heritage) and Iowa's (because Bonin English), it is not spoken with the actual home-counties-English accent they were aiming for, it's a mix of Aussie (I can't place which end though, sorry) and American/Canadian (and again I can't state for sure which states or provinces).

Take her Secretary 1 line - 'Battleship' is pronounced on the Australian end of the scale, 'Warspite' swings through to a kind of neutral tone a lot closer to the intended one and the closing 'I'm going' continues through the scale and ends with a sort of US/Canadian twang on the final syllables. While it might sound accurate to a non-native, it makes me cringe as much as Iowa makes the American among us, Pasta Marina the Italians and the Purinmarine does the Germans.
