The death of Elizabeth II: these actresses who embodied her in cinema and series

5 months ago No Comments

Elizabeth II, who had an exceptionally long reign, died at the age of 96. Film and television series represented them on the screen for a long time. Photo tribute.

Undoubtedly more than any other contemporary king, Queen Elizabeth II It embodied the spirit of the British nation, in an exceptionally long-lived reign. The woman, who celebrated her platinum jubilee last June, passed away 70 years of her reign at the age of 96.

She ascended to the throne on February 6, 1952, and saw no fewer than 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, whom she met on September 6, 2022. An era marked by great upheavals in the sometimes tragic history of countries throughout the twentieth century. Although she has at times had to face heavy criticism from the press against the royal family, support for the monarchy and her personal popularity remain high among the British population.

Having become an icon for a long time, the king has been logically immortalized in many films and television series, including in cartoons, such as Simpson family. It is also a sign that it no longer belongs, for a long time, only to British heritage, but is universal. A historical page is turned.
