From 'The Queen' to 'The Crown,' five productions that brought Queen Elizabeth's life to the screen | CNN

The legacy of Queen Elizabeth II will not only live in history books, but in the many films and television series that have been inspired by her life story

The late monarch was not supposed to inherit the throne. Her destiny was marked in 1936 after her uncle, King Edward VII, abdicated voluntarily and his brother, King George VI, took over the royal duties. ‘The King’s Speech’ George VI’s story may sound familiar to some moviegoers. His ascension to the throne, and the surrounding events, were recreated in “The King’s Speech” . The film starred Colin Firth, who played King George VI.

According to the movie, the princesses left Buckingham Palace that night to celebrate the end of World War II. “It is a true story that intrigues everyone. But we don’t know exactly what happened. It is a small fantasy inspired by that true story,” said the film’s director, Julian Jarrold, on the production’s official website. The film stars Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley . Rupert Everett and Emily Watson play King George VI and the Queen Mother.
