However, it was her 2006 Academy Award-winning performance as the late Queen Elizabeth II that truly cemented her legacy, portraying the monarch who tragically died aged 96 in September 2022.

The film, penned by The Crown mastermind Peter Morgan, explores the Royal Family's response following Princess Diana's tragic death, as mounting public pressure from newly appointed Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) forces their hand.

It proved a delightful throwback when the 80-year-old star adopted a remarkably similar appearance in Netflix's newest big-screen offering The Thursday Murder Club.

As the investigative team begins examining a property developer's murder, pensioner Elizabeth Best (portrayed by Helen Mirren) decides to go "undercover" at the local police station.

Emerging from her bedroom, Elizabeth sports a lengthy checked skirt, cardigan, headscarf, oversized spectacles and walking stick.

She informs her husband: "I'm going out for the day, if you need me, just call me", whilst Stephen Best (Jonathan Pryce) assures her he'll manage perfectly well.

He then chuckles: "What on earth are you wearing? You look like the Queen.

"Do I?" Elizabeth questions, a smile playing on her lips.

Stephen, who is living with dementia, then comments: "That was a sad day. The funeral."

Elizabeth enquires: "Do you remember that?", to which he responds: "Of course I do. September 19, 2022. We watched it on the telly. You were obsessed with the security arrangements."

She chuckles and concurs when Elizabeth informs him she's "got a plan", leading him to gently caress her face and say: "Oh my darling Elizabeth, you've always got a plan."

Pryce, who plays Stephen, also has a Royal link as he portrayed Prince Philip in the final two series of The Crown on Netflix.

The Thursday Murder Club will premiere on Thursday, August 28, on Netflix.
