In 2023, James Bond films and novels will now be On His Majesty’s Secret Service. Queen Elizabeth has passed away, one of the most memorable celebrity deaths of 2022.
Prince Charles is now King Charles III. His mother was one of the youngest to assume the throne. She assumed the title of one of Ian Fleming’s best James Bond novels (1963). That title carried over to the sixth James Bond film made by Eon Productions (1969).
It remains to be seen how the movies and novels will be affected by the death of Queen Elizabeth. But no man, or monarch, awaits or no one.
There are signs that, maybe yes or maybe not, the Bond movies and novels are moving on.
Regardless, Netflix is televising a documentary series about the Royal Family. We’ll see how everything carries on.
It also remains to be seen how the Bond film and literary franchises progress with the passing of Elizabeth.
