Actors were spotted on the set of the period drama at The Savoy Hotel in London on Sunday while several trucks containing parts of the set lined the street.
The new update comes shortly after a source at Netflix confirmed that filming had been paused. They said: "As a mark of respect, filming on The Crown was suspended today. Filming will also be suspended on the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral."
The show's writer Peter Morgan spoke to Deadline on Friday, a day after the Queen's death was announced. He said: "The Crown is a love letter to her and I've nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
