[@zeenanigans1983]

These two have just the most insane chemistry I've seen in a while. The 2 seasons they were on was just freakin perfect. Hopefully they could find someone who would have that magical connection with Ms. Colman like how they did Matt and Claire.

[@katherineedmond6270]

I completely agree!!!!!

[@robinrainriot4478]

Just came back to that interview, while rewatchin TheCrown. I totally agree, they are answering absolutly equal and care about the others opinion.

[@Shtuhtefup]

Just came back to say that they sadly NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE

[@mahanadir]

I binged the whole season in a day and I wish I had savoured it a little, because now I'm missing it and I'll miss the two in the role

[@lauraelizabeth1789]

Maha Nadir I binge watched it 3 times and will do so again. All the performances are incredible.

[@LilianaVelascoAriza]

Well I have watched it twice, on my third watch now, The first time I was glued and missed a lot of the essence!

[@its_mi.]

Here I am having watched the whole of season 4 in a day and feeling the same about this cast...

Kinda harry styles vibes right?

[@lazyhomebody1356]

@@hariharans9513 Yes!! Two of my heroes

[@sweetpjeb23]

I didn't know they were leaving the show!!!! Nooooo! Claire Foy is PERFECT as Queen Elizabeth! And Matt Smith plays Philip so beautifully!

[@badgrand]

Claire is such a beauty:)

[@MattMBZ]

Claire did such an amazing job playing the Queen. The first two seasons are my favorite. The acting is flawless.

[@fatimapervaiz3314]

I think I might never be able to let go of these two as elizabeth and philip.. *crying*

[@sandranokes7443]

What got me in the series is how manipulated the Queen was by all the people who run the government or the people that they deal with everyday, telling them whether they can marry this person or that person. Whether they can do anything. This has taught me that the Royal Family are prisoners, in their own way, of being The Crown. I've got to say this is one of the most beautiful series or movies I've ever seen. It is so historically correct, evolving the costumes and the periods. I will hate to see these actors not playing these characters after the second season.

[@Azire]

It is quite frustrating to watch. She's the protagonist and the Queen and can't do anything

[@TheIceColdBikeDestroyer]

Sandra Nokes she is not manipulated she is not stupid she knows what's going on she just goes along with it

[@brandoncardoza]

The Bike Destroyer it’s aggravating watching her being unable to do the things she wants to do as a human/wife/mother because of the protocols and regulations everyone is throwing in her face. That’s why my fav episode is Dear Mrs. Kennedy because she just says “screw you guys” and does it her own way and it works out for the best

[@TheIceColdBikeDestroyer]

Brandon Cardoza but it's about what people think she wants to keep her crown so she keeps a protocol to make public opinion doesn't turn against

[@lost99sheep]

Sandra Nokes I think that the Queen Mother manipulates her own daughter (Margaret’s) happiness. I think she would had been happy with Townsend.

[@xxIluvyouguysxx]

They’re so good on The Crown. I’m sad to see them go

[@purpleninja6024]

i have a developing crush on matt. all of them played sooo well on the show. such immense talent.

[@NC-hu3ti]

Love Matt's shirt for some weird reason

[@Jadorelainie]

It's not weird tho, that shirt is aesthetically pleasing, also it's properly fitted and last because he has the personality to pull that shirt off.

[@azjmsxhn]

WHERE CAN I BUY IT OMGGG

[@kellyalves756]

Same here. I mean, you can hear it from a mile away, but it’s compelling.

[@Giulia-om2gl]

it's because he wears it

[@lizchannel1434]

Claire did a fantastic job

[@sethbender2863]

I miss these two so much. I had such a hard time changing to season three. I didn’t want to bench it as much, but by the end I was sad they were gone too.

[@burtsangalang8945]

Matt and Claire are such wonderful actors. And these roles, just so wonderfully played!

[@BretEsque]

I love Olivia Coleman so I'm glad she is getting a crack at the role. It would be cool if these 2 came back in a few years. They could go back and forth in time between casts.

[@Andian45]

Helena Bonham Carter as Margaret!!

[@back.in.december]

well i’m from the future and claire did come back to the last episode😊

[@May04bwu]

These two are SO GOOD as Elizabeth and Philip

[@anononnl]

The continued series CANNOT be the same without these two....I was utterly mesmerized by their performances! I mean, totally sucked in...dreamed about it every night after I watched them!

[@mezathome8162]

philip’s character arc is so great

[@jonathanbecker8935]

Claire Foy is so incredibly beautiful! She's obviously very intelligent too. She's perfect! I'm curious about whether or not she speaks any foreign languages fluently? Her eyes and her smile are just so captivating. She's a total goddess!

[@hamletscrush]

apparently she does speak irish (gaelic), as she's half irish, though her friends have described her irish as that of an 100 year old person, so we could say she speaks irish the way the queen spoke english.

[@sethbender2863]

My favorite episode out of all three seasons so far is the last episode of season two, where it flashes back to his childhood. I was so entranced to the whole episode

[@marciosilva5697]

Claire Foy is such a beauty in every single way.

[@atlantauncut]

I totally loved this interview.

[@ramal5708]

I first started watching the Crown in 2020 during peak COVID times, after watching the movie First Man (from 2018 starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy) before the Crown series, I really like Claire Foy's portrayal of Mrs Armstrong and quite amazed even more of her performance in the first two seasons of the Crown.

[@klwl]

A very engaging, captivating and interesting interview that flowed seamlessly!

[@sheilaburns8977]

When I read that Claire Foy was not going to be in the third series, I was disappointed because she was so good. Then, we got Olivia Colman. Both ladies were FANTASTIC!!! Enjoyed S3 as much as Seasons 1 and 2. … PEACE to ALL … and … STAY SAFE and HEALTHY.

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

They both so amazing in this interview

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

I dunno what shes wearing but its FIERCE.

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

I love it!!!!!

[@witchyzee9359]

When you can’t just get over about these amazing personas🙌🏼 kept watching seasons 1&2. I must say, they’re perfect for the roles. Now, watching the seasons 3 and 4 - it’s so different though the new actors were amazing too but am missing Claire and Matt as the Queen Elizabeth II and Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh

[@sakshikishen3750]

I regret savouring the 2 seasons so quick , i miss them i the last two seasons 🥺

[@Ernie1978]

Love them madly!!!

[@ma.lourdeskabigting1565]

Yup...lovevthem

[@robinwyne0]

This was just sad w the host. Claire and Matt only lit up when they interacted. Without the host. I mean their bond was blatantly obvious! He could have steered the interview about their interaction. Its what the fans would want and NEED. They're so good together!

[@ma.lourdeskabigting1565]

Yes im on it.....perfectly good together.

[@lazaromurad322]

I love Matt's socks by the way...

[@ultimatecancerian]

For someone who obviously loves to talk soo much, they gave a role that has to talk very less and she nailed that too, genius!!

[@PjD0150]

Firstly, love Claire and Matt plus there banter. Secondly, is Peter Morgan Hamilton?

[@MimMdance]

Am I the only guy who loves women with this short hairstyle? She's gorgeous 😍

[@ork4661]

She’s amazing with short hair. But she has the face to pull it off, only the lucky ...

[@yuririamarvan2780]

Love them, they did a fantastic job. Transitioning into new actors for the characters, doesn’t sound like a good idea.

[@danamartinez7840]

And yet it was.... 😏

[@ashleykopec83]

I absolutely love the Crown and these two as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. It’s amazing how much they look like the real couple as their younger selfs! But watching Clair talk I could see her coming back as princess Diana to me she looks like her a bit and her body language. Please have her back as Princess Diana. I’d wish they would continue as the characters.

[@visionarylady7128]

I don't know about her playing Princess Diana. She's a lot shorter and Diana was very tall.

Let them finish answering the question please...

[@em-jaytaylor6743]

Do you reckon if Her Maj lives to be a 100, The Queen will get one of those special birthday cards?

[@RspbyLmn]

Matt Smith looks so much like Prince Harry, especially when he had the ginger beard. It's the eyes and expressions and his posture. Which is crazy that I never saw this until he played Prince Phillip. It has made me go back and look at young pictures of Prince Phillip and compare them to Prince Harry (now). When the series gets around to current day royal family, it would be amazing to see them bring Matt back as Prince Harry. (Kind of give him a chance to show off his acting chops. Heavens knows he's sexy enough to play the part. ) Maybe they could bring Clair back as a chimney sweep extra. Lol. It would be cool to look for some of the main characters in the first two seasons as non-speaking, disguised extras. It's like a fun "Easter Egg" hunt. How many Clairs and Matts can you find in Season 4? Lol.

[@yunsuuu]

Totally agree!!

[@jecka1982]

Exactly what I thought! Now I'm on season 3 I think the current prince Philip looks a bit like William!

[@parkviewmo]

I thought Matt Smith looked like Harry, too! So glad someone else observed that too!

If he's going to interview two amazing actors in this brilliant show (I'm on 3rd time), maybe he should have had more staff watch more shows instead of him watching " A number of episodes "..." Uh, I watched two "...I'd say he watched none.

[@visionarylady7128]

I simply just can't watch season 3. I said I would but I'm...no. Watched like 5 minutes and just was like, uh uh...I can't. Does not do it for me. The actress has a completely different look then Claire. Different face shape. Dark eyes and hair. They could have atleast picked someone who resembled her and the Queen a lot more.
