In a statement, the royal family announced that \u201cthe queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon\u201d at the age of 96.<\/p>\n

Throughout her long reign, the late queen became quite the cultural figure with her likeness being portrayed in films and TV series. If she was\u2019\u2019t the main focus of the film or drama series, fictional versions of Her Majesty have made cameo appearances.<\/p>\n

Actress Jeannette Charles in 2002 had a cameo as Her Majesty in the third and final \u201cAustin Powers Goldmember\u201c film, Charles also portrayed the queen in the 1976 film, \u201cQueen Kong\u201d.<\/p>\n

One of the most notable portrayals of the monarch was by actress Helen Mirren, who played Her Majesty in the 2006 film \u201cThe Queen\u201d, which earned her an Oscar.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, Mirren paid tribute to the monarch and said: \u201cI am proud to be an Elizabethan. We mourn a woman, who, with or without the crown, was the epitome of nobility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s hit series \u201cThe Crown\u201d has also had a few actresses get into character and portray the late queen in various stages of her life. Season five of the series had enlisted actress Imelda Staunton to be the queen in the upcoming season, which was meant to debut on the streaming platform in November this year.<\/p>\n

According to reports, filming is expected to be paused on \u201cThe Crown\u201d as a mark of respect for the late monarch.<\/p>\n
