What movies has Queen Elizabeth II been featured in?

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in U.K. history, died Thursday at age 96, shortly after Buckingham Palace issued a statement detailing concern about her health.

“She was an outline of a woman that people could fill in however they fancied. And fill it in they did,” wrote the New York Times.

Over the years, the queen has become a cultural icon, with many appearances in television and movies. Here are some of her appearances.
