Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96, having served Britain for more than seven decades and earning the title of the country’s longest-reigning monarch. Elizabeth is survived by four children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Her eldest son, Charles, 73, immediately became King, according to the British laws of succession. Her Majesty, who was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, became the queen regnant when her father, King George VI, died in February 1952.
Her coronation the following year when she was 25 years old marked a new, modernized monarchy. The queen has been portrayed on film and in television, with celebrities flocking for a chance to play the royal figure on screen, or even perhaps just shake her hand at an exclusive event.

"I’m mourning along with the rest of my country, the passing of a great Queen.
I’m proud to call myself of the Elizabethan age," Mirren said in a statement. "If there was a definition of nobility, Elizabeth Windsor embodied it." "The Audience" (created by Peter Morgan) was such a hit that Netflix hit the greenlight on a new series chronicling the life of Queen Elizabeth, with Claire Foy
