Since September 8, the British have been mourning their missing queen. At 96, Elizabeth II breathed her last in her Balmoral castle in Scotland. His funeral will take place on Monday September 19 at Westminster Abbey. Leaders from around the world are in London for the ceremony, which will begin at 11 a.m. local time. A last farewell to the one who reigned for more than 70 years over the English monarchy.
The most nostalgic will be able to find the monarch on screen in the various productions that have attempted to transcribe her extraordinary existence. An extraordinary life that has been interpreted by different actresses. The first to have brilliantly put on the royal costume was Helen Mirren for “The Queen” in 2006, a film by Stephen Frears which follows Queen Elizabeth at the time of Princess Diana’s death. A role that earned him an Oscar. Also an Oscar-winning actress, Olivia Colman also lent her features to the mother of King Charles III by assuming the role of the queen in the third and fourth seasons of the series The Crown. The first actress to bring Netflix’s queen to life, Claire Foy won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her portrayal of the Queen of England. Fans of the series will also be able to find the Queen with Imelda Staunton, very popular among fans of the Harry Potter saga. The actress had played the much feared Dolores Umbridge.
In The King’s Speech, child Princess Elizabeth is played by young Freya Wilson. This Oscar-winning feature film also looks back on the stuttering problems of his father George VI. In lighter registers, Neve Campbell and Cate Blanchett have also slipped their skin into that of the most famous monarch of the 20th century. In “Churchill, the Hollywood Years, a parody of 2004 World War II drama films, the star of the Scream saga finds himself in the middle of various zany scenarios. For his part, Cate Blanchett played the cameo game as the voice of the queen in the humorous cartoon “Family guy”.
