LOS ANGELES, Sept 11 — It’s the season finale for Elizabeth II. The Queen has passed away at the age of 96 after 70 years on the throne. The royal family, and in particular the sovereign, has become one of the most emblematic symbols of the United Kingdom — one that has left its mark on the world of big and small screen entertainment. Here are three shows and three movies dedicated to the British Royal Family.
TV shows
The Crown, — the popular one (Netflix)
It’s the most iconic TV show about Queen Elizabeth II and one of the most popular shows on Netflix. The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II since her coronation, and through her character the history of the royal family and of England. Launched in 2016 on the streaming platform, four seasons of the show are already available while two more are in the works. Several actresses have portrayed the monarch. Claire Foy was the first on the show to take on the role of the Queen of England, during the first two seasons, followed by Olivia Colman (The Favorite) for the next two, released in 2019 and 2020. For the seasons to come, 5 and 6, it is Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter) who will play the head royal Elizabeth II. We’ll have to wait until November 2022 to discover this new saga.
