Fans might recognise Elizabeth for her work on Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and Steve McQueen's thriller Widows.
She is also due to star in Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which is heading to cinemas later this summer.
The Crown will end after season six, but we have plenty to look forward to in upcoming scenes.
The final seasons will include the break-up of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' marriage and her death in 1997, which devastated the nation.
And it will tackle The Queen's relationship with the UK's first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who will be played by Gillian Anderson.
It's not yet known when The Crown will return to our screens, due to delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
