The longest reign of any sovereign in British history came to a conclusion on Thursday with the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was a pillar of mainstream culture throughout the last 70 years of her tenure, featuring in generations of television series as well as motion pictures. Her widespread popularity led to depictions not solely by Oscar-winning performers, as well as by Saturday Night Live cast members, and she appeared in animated movies. These actors have portrayed Queen Elizabeth II on television and in movies, including The Crown and Minions.
Here are seven well-known cinematic representations of the late Queen:
1
The Crown Season 6
The Crown is a Netflix-exclusive historical drama television series about Queen Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth II was portrayed by Claire Foy in seasons 1-2 and Olivia Colman in seasons 3-4. In the series, Claire played a character that became well-known, and for that performance, she was recognised with several honours, including the Golden Globe, the Emmy, and the SAG. As Queen Elizabeth neared her middle age, Olivia Colman, who succeeded Claire in the role, earned a lot of positive feedback for the part. Imelda Staunton will be playing the older part of Queen Elizabeth II in the upcoming season of The Crown.
