Queen Elizabeth II passed away Thursday, September 8 at the age of 96. With more than seventy years of reign, the Queen of England has become a true figure of pop culture. This is the subject of Talk franceinfo. Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
The Queen of England died Thursday, September 8 at the age of 96, thus holding the record for the longest reign in British history. Between references and provocations, Elizabeth II has inspired musicians, directors and other fashion designers. Printed on stamps, banknotes and t-shirts then taken up in certain paintings by Andy Warhol, the face of the queen has become a true symbol of pop culture.
To discuss it, Manon Mella receives Eric Fottorino, writer, co-founder of the weekly Le 1 and Franck Mathevon, journalist and former correspondent for Radio France in London.
Since her coronation in June 1953, the reign of Queen Elizabeth II seems intimately linked to the evolution of communication and the media. Indeed, the coronation of the Queen is the first to be broadcast in full and live on television. However, it is above all as a source of inspiration and artistic diversion that the image of Elizabeth II has been modernized. Of the Sex Pistols at The Crown, passing through the incarnation of her own role alongside James Bond, how did the Queen manage to juggle between a public figure and an iconic figure in popular culture? And could this imprint be renewed via Charles III?
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Manon Mella’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
