Art, entertainment, and media

There have been numerous notable portrayals of Queen Elizabeth in a variety of art forms, and she is the most filmed British monarch. ^{[1] [2]} George MacDonald Fraser wrote "no historic figure has been represented more honestly in the cinema, or better served by her players". ^[3]

Anime
