Why is Killing Eve actress Sandra Oh at the Queen’s funeral?

Sandra Oh will be attending the Queen's state funeral today as part of the Canadian delegation.

The actress is most known for her role in the BBC series Killing Eve. She will participate in a procession of national honours as part of today's service.

She will be among the delegation as a member of the Order of Canada and will be joined by musician Gregory Charles and Olympic gold medallist swimmer Mark Tewksbury. Oh was granted the honour in June 2022 after she built her profile as an actress in the comedy-drama Killing Eve alongside British actress Jodie Comer.

Oh was born in Canada to Korean parents and previously tallied up Emmy nominations for her role as Dr Cristina Yang in Shona Rhimes' long-running medical series, Grey's Anatomy. The Canadian delegations will be led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau alongside governor general Mary Simon as well as some former prime ministers and governor-generals.

The group departed last Friday in preparation for the funeral. Trudeau revealed the details of the delegation in a special address last week during a special session of Canada's House of Commons.

The country previously announced Canada will have a national day of mourning today to honour the Queen's memory.
