Netflix on Oct. 17 defended its latest series of "The Crown" after former British prime minister John Major lashed out at a story line showing King Charles plotting to oust the late queen.

Major's tenure as prime minister from 1990-1997 covered a turbulent period for the royals that included the divorce of Charles and his wife Princess Diana.

Queen Elizabeth II is laid to rest on Monday, after a grand state funeral attended by leaders from around the world, and a historic last ceremonial journey through the packed streets of London.

The longest-serving monarch in British history died aged 96 at Balmoral, her Scottish Highland retreat, on September 8 after a year of declining health.

Britain and the world will bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II on Monday in a ceremony said not to have been seen since the funeral of former prime minister Winston Churchill nearly 60 years ago.

As Liz Butler stood among the crowds of well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace, she couldn't help asking herself if she was living through a future episode of hit TV series "The Crown".

Like many of those flocking to bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II, Butler was a big fan of the Netflix show that has offered viewers a glimpse - albeit fictionalized - inside royal life.

King Charles III, along with his siblings, attended a vigil at St Giles' Cathedral yesterday, during which Edinburgh residents could enter and pay their respects to the late queen, Reuters reports.

A key question around Britain's royal succession was resolved on Sunday when it emerged scandal-hit Prince Andrew and his ex-wife will look after Queen Elizabeth II's corgi dogs after her death.

The prince and his former spouse Sarah Ferguson will take on Muick and Sandy following the queen's death at Balmoral on Sept. 8 aged 96, Andrew's spokesman said.

King Charles III was officially announced as Britain's monarch on Sept. 10, in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism- and, for the first time, broadcast live.

The heir to the British crown, King Charles III, made his first televised address since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

British Prince Charles and his son Prince William traveled urgently to Queen Elizabeth II's castle residence in Scotland. The Prince of Wales traveled to Balmoral with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, a spokesman for his royal residence said.
Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William also traveled to Balmoral.

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a rock of stability across much of a turbulent century, has died. She was 96.

Buckingham Palace made the announcement in a statement.
