Queen Elizabeth II documentaries you can stream right now

Prime Video, Netflix and BritBox have multiple documentaries on Queen Elizabeth's life.

Terrestrial television halted its scheduled programmings in order to accommodate rolling coverage of Queen Elizabeth's death. Most channels have suspended their regular lineups today in favour of memorials and remembrance specials with only a few sister channels returning to their standard programming.

For the next several days, television as a whole will remember Queen Elizabeth in news specials and documentaries but there are several already available on streaming services. Netflix, Prime Video and Britbox all have a range of exclusives following the Queen's history and monumental moments in her life.
