On a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, actress Claire Foy gave some insider information about her departure from the hit series, The Crown. Foy, who played the role of Queen Elizabeth II in the critically acclaimed show, shared some interesting anecdotes while chatting with Norton and her fellow guests.
During the conversation, Norton mentioned how Foy often receives emotional reactions from fans. Foy responded by recounting a humorous encounter with a woman who mistook her for the Queen. The encounter took place in a chip shop, where the two struck up a conversation and bonded over their shared love for battered cod. Foy’s recent role in The Crown seemed to have left a lasting impression on this enthusiastic fan.
As the conversation continued, Norton brought up the topic of Foy’s departure from The Crown. Foy confirmed that the second season would be her last, explaining that she had always known it would be a two-series commitment. However, Norton couldn’t resist asking if Foy had any knowledge about who would be stepping into the prestigious role of Queen Elizabeth II. With a mischievous grin, Foy confirmed that she did know, teasing the audience with the knowledge that it would be someone famous for their acting prowess.
The atmosphere in the studio became electric with suspense as everyone eagerly awaited Foy’s revelation. But alas, she playfully avoided disclosing any specific details, leaving the audience craving for more. Foy’s husband, Greg, also a cast member on The Crown, joined in on the fun, adding to the mystery surrounding the next actor who would take on the iconic role.
Foy, however, did share a behind-the-scenes secret about portraying the Queen. As a former member of the Royal National Theatre, Foy revealed that she retained one specific aspect of her vocal training – the pronunciation of the word “one.” While admitting that her pronunciation was completely wrong, Foy found it difficult to break the habit and spent months drilling herself to speak the word correctly.
In true Graham Norton fashion, the conversation was filled with laughter and light-hearted banter. The lively discussion showcased Foy’s talent, wit, and charm, confirming why she has garnered such a devout following during her time on The Crown.
Although we may have to say goodbye to Claire Foy‘s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II, the anticipation for the next season of The Crown remains high. As fans eagerly await the announcement of Foy’s successor, the buzz surrounding the show continues to grow.
