"As a mark of respect, filming on 'The Crown' was suspended today," a Netflix spokeswoman said in a statement to AFP.

“Filming will also be suspended on the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral,” she added.

The Emmy-winning series, created by Peter Morgan, centers on Queen Elizabeth II and is currently filming its sixth season. The show has charted the monarch's life through multiple decades.

Season 5, which is due to be released in November, will cover the events of the late monarch's reign in the 21st century. The show will conclude after Season 6.

The series began in its first season with Queen Elizabeth's wedding to Prince Philip in 1947.
