Unit 2: The Crown at a Crossroads (2nde_gr2)

The Queen of Pop Culture – A Media Savvy Monarch?

The document under study is a video from Good Morning America, published in 2022 right after Queen Elisabeth II died. We have learned that she was nicknamed “The Queen of Pop Culture” because we could see her face on several types of media throughout her reign. Indeed, for example, we could see her on the press, on Pound bills and coins, on stamps, on magazines and newspaper, on the radio, on TV…

On top of that, she had a distinct style of dress: she would wear hats and purses and dresses with bright colors and monochrome as to stand out.

At the beginning of her reign, her face was already famous thanks to newspapers, currencies, magazines, books… years after years she began to be portrayed in movies, cartoons and TV series on the small and big screens. Moreover, more recently she went on social media to reach the younger generations. In addition, we can also hear about her and see her in pieces of art (songs and paintings…). Furthermore, she even starred in the ceremony of the Olympic Games that took place in London in 2012.
