Claire Foy, Season 1

\n

\nFoy, 38, told Variety she was \"very proud\" to originate the role of the Queen in season 1 of The Crown, released November 2016.\n

\n

\n"I found she's very challenging as a person for me to play because we're not massively similar \u2014 vocally, physically, and she's a very control, stoic person," she told the magazine before the show premiered. "That's what I thought would be brilliant about it. I would have to get involved and go the whole way."\n

\n

\nFoy added that she did "loads of research" to prepare for the part, starting with the Queen's style of speaking.\n

\n

\n"The voice was a good way into it. It wasn't so much her voice but the voice of the time. It was so different from how we speak now," she said. "That was key to get my head around. I love watching the old family videos of them in private life."\n

\nFoy went on to win the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series in 2017 and would take the same statuette for reprising her role as Queen Elizabeth in season 2 of The Crown in 2018.\n

\n

\nBefore the second season came out, the actress spoke to The Wrap about how her approach changed.\n

\n

\n"The first season was highly emotional, and this time around I've been able to enjoy the differences between me and her a bit more," she told the site.\n

\n

\n"It's very difficult to play someone who everyone has a preconception about and not sort of let that in \u2014 it's hard enough alone to imagine yourself as the Queen."\n

\n

\nFoy added that she found confidence in "anchoring" her portrayal of the Queen to the shock following the death of her father, King George VI.\n

\n

\n"It was there in Peter's writing, and I knew early on that the crux of the whole story was the fact that her father died," she said of creator Peter Morgan's storyline. "It was an earthquake."\n

\n

\nWith a change of cast to reflect the passage of time, Queen Elizabeth's tiara passed to Colman, 48, for seasons 3 and 4 of The Crown.\n

\n

\nBefore the third season hit the streamer in November 2019, the actress said she was inspired by Foy's portrayal as she took over the character.\n

\n

\n\"I think I was doing an impression of Claire for the first couple of weeks' filming, definitely channeling her, but then I just started to do what the script says and I've fallen in love with the Queen,\" Colman told the Radio Times, per The Guardian. \"She's changed my views on everything.\"\n

\n

\nSparkling in the part, Colman was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for season 3 of The Crown and would win the prize for her playing the monarch in season 4.\n

\nColman opened up about feeling a hotter spotlight as she returned to the role of Queen Elizabeth before season 4 premiered in November 2020. Though she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for playing Queen Anne in The Favourite in 2019, the star said it didn't deter her nerves about playing Elizabeth.\n

\n

\n\"It's definitely more daunting to play someone that everyone knows,\" she told Deadline. \"The beauty of Queen Anne is that no one can tell me she didn't sound like that, but everyone can tell me what the Queen sounds like, and that's slightly annoying\u2026 It's much harder to play people that everyone has a vision of, a picture of, and has ideas about.\"\n

\n

\nOn her own background before The Crown, she added, "I've never joined a show that's already been up and running and successful. But I was such an enormous fan of the show that I didn't really think about it."\n

\nAll eyes are on Staunton, 66, who takes the reins as Queen Elizabeth in season 5 of royal drama, which hits Netflix Nov. 9.\n

\n

\n\"I'm delighted to be here, inheriting the role of Queen Elizabeth from two outstanding actresses...I will do my utmost to maintain the very high standard that they set,\" Staunton said in a Twitter video released September 2021.\n

\n

\n"Hopefully I look calm, collected and capable. My stomach, meanwhile, is doing somersaults," she continued, seated at a desk much like the one the Queen used in real life. "On behalf of the cast and crew, we look forward to bringing you the next season of The Crown in November 2022."\n

\nStaunton will continue in her royal role for the sixth and final season of The Crown, though its release date will likely remain under wraps for the foreseeable future.\n

\n

\nAs audiences eagerly await season 5, Colman said she hasn't given Staunton any acting advice because she knows she will shine.\n

\n

\n\"No! Who gives Imelda Staunton advice? She will be incredible,\" she told Variety in September when asked if she shared any tips with her successor. \"I can't wait to watch her.\"\n

The Crown features different actresses portraying Queen Elizabeth II in each season, capturing her unique characteristics based on the time period. Netflix TV series The Crown has featured the performances of three different actresses as Queen Elizabeth II over its six seasons, and each brings her own unique angle to the UK monarch. Every two seasons, each of which generally spans approximately a decade, the characters of The Crown are all recast with actors of the appropriate ages. Though The Crown included a disclaimer in later seasons acknowledging its use of creative license in its retelling of events, the show has been wildly successful. This has been due in large part to the craftwork behind the portrayals of the characters, and Elizabeth especially. No matter who plays Queen Elizabeth II, all of The Crown\u2019s leading actresses bring something special to their seasons.

Queen Elizabeth II had blue eyes, like her first portrayer Claire Foy. After Olivia Colman was cast as Elizabeth she was tested with blue contact lenses over her brown eyes, but it was decided they negatively affected her performance. Changing her eye color in postproduction was also tested, but according to the producers \"it didn't feel like her. However, Season 5 isn't quite on the money. Whilst the new queen is very good, and the Diana Spencer character unbelievably like the real Lady Di, Prince Charles is somewhat of a let down. He appears to have ditched his royal accent for that of a regular Joe. 58m | TV-MA", + "page_result": "The Crown (TV Series 2016\u20132023) - IMDb

    Regardless of what you may think of the Royals Netflix has poured a ton of money into this exquisite production about the life of Queen Elizabeth. It is a show which requires fixed attention as things progress at a unhurried pace. The opening musical evolution is enchanting and never grows old. Actress Claire Foy is beautifully riveting in the role of Elizabeth; someone who wants to have a normal life and yet is made to feel her duty as Queen should be the highest priority. It has been suggested the Queen is warm, has a sense of humor, is compassionate and this portrayal conveys it. She is wise enough to realize she's going to have to forge her own way as those around her are stymied in their own limitations or ignorance. John Lithgow transforms into Winston Churchill and is equally stellar. Their scenes together are superb. If Peter Morgan's research is accurate I can fully appreciate how Princess Diana must have felt. The show is rounded out by a wonderful supporting cast. This show is my favorite Netflix production so far.

We look at their performances.Claire Foy and Matt Smith played Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in The Crown seasons 1-2. They stepped aside so that Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies could take over the roles for The Crown seasons 3-4. Finally, Imelda Staunton will become Queen Elizabeth, alongside Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, for The Crown seasons 5 and 6. In addition, Vanessa Kirby, Helena Bonham Carter, and soon, Lesley Manville were cast in the pivotal role of Princess Margaret, Elizabeth's younger sister. Queen Elizabeth is also a very challenging role since not only are Foy, Colman, and Staunton portraying a real-life person who is still alive and is their actual head of state but passivity and inaction become the monarch's signature demeanor, especially in the later seasons of The Crown when Royals like Charles and Diana generate drama and controversies that eclipse the problems Elizabeth and Philip had when they were younger. Here are the four actresses who play Princess/Queen Elizabeth in The Crown and how their portrayals differed while still evoking the continuous reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Claire Foy originated the role of Queen Elizabeth in The Crown and she is still the standard by which her successors are judged, especially considering Foy on the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for The Crown season 2. In her two seasons, Foy played Elizabeth from age 21 in 1947 to age 38 in 1964. Verity played Princess Elizabeth at 12 years old in The Crown season 1 and she returned in season 3 to play Elizabeth aged 17 in \"Margaretology\", where Tommy Lascelles (Pip Torrens) scolded both princesses for daring to propose Margaret become Queen instead of Elizabeth. The Crown is Russell's only acting role but her portrayal of the young future Queen seamlessly lines up with Claire Foy and Olivia Colman's.", + "page_result": "", + "page_last_modified": "" + } + ] +} \ No newline at end of file
