The Royal Family - troonopvolging

“She was the most opaque of celebrities, a silent film star somehow thriving in a TikTok world,” Sarah Lyall writes. “Over the years, Elizabeth was a character in an endless stream of feature films, made-for-TV movies and television series — biopics, satires, dramas, comedies, you name it — as well as in the occasional documentary, play, musical and novel.”
