Sheryl Faye as Queen Elizabeth II

She was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from February 6, 1952 until her death on September 8, 2022. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female head of state in history. In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her.
