Death of Elizabeth II. This series which predicted the death of the Queen of England in 2022 – Ouest-France

​Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday, September 8, 2022, at the age of 96, at her Scottish residence in Balmoral. She holds the record for longevity on the British throne, which she acceded to in 1952. The 70 years of her reign have marked world politics and all aspects of our society, including culture, in all its forms. Many films and series have also taken hold of the unique destiny of Elizabeth II, starting with The Crown, on Netflix, which tells of her accession to the Throne and her reign. Multi-awarded and considered one of the best series of recent years, The Crown is still in production and currently has six seasons. Our imagined future until 2029 But one series, in particular, evoked the fate of the Queen from a perspective never seen before, going so far as to predict, with good reason, the year of her death: Years and Years . In this mini-series of anticipation in six episodes of the BBC, broadcast in 2019 (on Canal + Series in France) we follow, from the year 2019 and for the following fifteen years, the members of the family Lyons. Originally from Manchester, their lives are turned upside down by the unstable political and economic context and the new technologies that are developing. A critically acclaimed series, which met with great success with the public, and which was distinguished by its time jumps showing, in just a few images and against a backdrop of prophetic music, the main future events of the Lyons and society. in general. Pure fiction, of course, but certain facts today strongly echo our reality. “Long live the King” Thus, a first jump in time comes in the 10th minute of the very first episode, guiding us from 2019 to 2024 by already predicting disturbing facts. If this jump begins with what has since become a mistake, namely the re-election of Donald Trump as head of the United States, in 2020, the British series then evokes, and explicitly, the death of Elizabeth II for the year 2022. It’s from 2’14, in the video below. We see the character of Muriel Deacon, played by Anne Reid, alone at home, sitting in her armchair, silent, in tears and with her hand on her heart. We hear, to the sound of a radio or television, a crowd shouting “Long live the King, Long live the King” (“Long live the King”). The scene lasts only six seconds, but it is easily understandable that the series has just presented to us, in its own way, the death of the Queen of England, and the rise to the throne of her son, Charles. The war in Ukraine also announced in 2022 Through its six episodes, Years and Years, which imagines our near (and dark) future until 2029, has multiplied the predictions. Several are already finding a dizzying echo in our contemporary world, three years after the broadcast of the series, like, still for the year 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian armed forces. chevron_leftchevron_right
