Queen Elizabeth II death: Best movies and web series on the monarch's life

The death of Queen Elizabeth II has left a void in not just the United Kingdom but in the world of entertainment as well. The late Queen had often appeared onscreen and impressed her fans with her acting abilities, be it her parachuting with James Bond actor Daniel Craig for the 2012 London Olympics or having a conversation with the beloved animated character Paddington Bear. After the news of her demise broke, Peter Morgan, the creator of the historical drama series The Crown has stated that he expects season 6 of the show “will stop filming out of respect” for a period of time.” During her long reign, the Queen was also portrayed several times on screen. As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II, here’s a look at some of the best movies and web shows based on her:

The Crown:

The first on the list is, of course, The Crown. The show follows the lives of the royal family from Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne to the many scandals and conflicts that she weathered. For anyone who loves emotional conflict, scandals and the royal family, this show is a must watch. So far, Claire Foy and Olivia Colman have portrayed the monarch in the historical drama. The fifth season, which sees Imelda Staunto take over the role, will air in November.
