Stephen Daldry
, director of several chapters of the series, assured that they would pay "tribute" if necessary .
"None of us know when that time will come, but it would be right and proper to show respect to the queen. It would be a simple tribute and a show of respect. She is a world figure and that is what we should do," Daldry said then.
