How to watch King Charles III film and who plays the monarch

All eyes have been on the Royal Family over the past couple of weeks, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Broadcasters switched out their usual schedules in favour of special programming, with the Queen’s state funeral being broadcast around the world.

Meanwhile, even many of those who opted for streaming services still had their interest piqued by the Royals, with Netflix’s The Crown’s viewership being boosted.

But while people are adjusting to having a new King, one BBC film, broadcast in 2017, imagined what the reign of King Charles III might be like.

It received two nominations at the 2018 TV Baftas: best single drama and best actor for Pigott-Smith.
