Claire Foy slayed my life in The Crown. She is legit a QUEEN

[@aidaaman1742]

+Amee yeah, but she won't be in it, though. Olivia Coleman is taking over as Queen)

Claire Foy is absolutely charming in her unique way and heartwarming, made me smile through the whole video.

[@4catsnow]

She carried that show and she was getting paid less.....that's messed up.

[@SeanTube2099]

4catsnow no it’s economics. She is less famous.

[@phenomenonnarutokun]

She was literally unknown compared to her costar

[@benh9935]

Sean Thomas In season 1 yes, but in season 2 she should've been paid more cause at that point she was the face of the show.

[@StreetfighterU]

Sean Thomas ikr. Less demand equals low pay (price). But people started using feminism and blamed how the world is all sexist.....😂

[@sevdacolakbuyuk9332]

İnşallah

[@alberteinsteinthejew]

She’s still the queen to me. One could not forget so easily.

[@rainview112]

It feels illegal to watch "the queen" speak like this.

[@ava8340]

what claire foy did incredibly well was get the intonation and pausing right when she spoke. that was very effective one of my friends used to teach at drama school and she was one of his students actually. he said she never stood out in a "wow, she's a star" sense, but what she did incredibly well was take directions and notes. if the director told her to change something, she'd note it down, and she *would* change it, which is very important when you're an actor

[@carrington2949]

That is pretty much great advice for achieving anything in life.

[@ISEEKSPACE]

She's so lovely in The Crown. She's so lovely, period, really.

[@meeeii]

I've been waiting for her to guest in the late late show! thank you James Corden!

[@madcowrebel4216]

I was so shocked when I saw the first episode and heard her speak. It was the queens voice.

[@ForViewingOnly]

I can't believe Claire Foy is 34 years old! She's definitely blessed with youthful good looks.

[@margitelisabeth4852]

How old did you think she was? 15?

[@danielbyun3206]

What??? I thought she was just turned an adult or something

[@danielbyun3206]

Shes damnn younger than the actual age

[@damontitus]

That’s because 34 is youthful dumbass.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

I thought she was in her mid 20s for sure. 🤯

[@KA-ui3sm]

Claire is so lovely. Such a great actor.

[@TheTVSol]

Claire Foy's depiction of Her Majesty was so decent and brilliant, it made me fall in love with the character she portrayed in the series.

[@jessicastillwell2222]

I loved Matt before the Crown but I love her because of it!

[@frankywilliam8073]

Extremely random combination of actors and I love it

[@Craig_Spurlock]

Most of my friends and myself first saw her as Adora Belle Dearheart, in Going Postal. It is nice to see her get a high-profile gig like The Crown!

[@ben.akb48]

After watching The Crown, Claire Foy is going to be my fav actress right now

[@vatansalvery]

She was the only actor to make me watch that series. I'm sad if she has to leave it.

[@dale4039]

man i love Claire she is painfully gorgeous and she's bloody hilarious she's 1 of my fav people right now

[@adelaferreira4575]

Claire Foy is fantastic in The Crown and every movie she has done,beautiful and lovely personality !

[@MrStensnask]

Method Man. Perhaps the dopest rapper ever to perform. Such a smooth yet still gritty voice. Perfect flow. Also, he's a skilled freestyle rapper, something most rappers aren't.

[@lalelu1023]

The queen pronounces words such as “house” in sort of a German accent. I suppose this is due to her ancestry.

[@Ttoby89]

That's sooo interesting. Obviously she speaks that way cos of her parents, and lots of 'upper' 'class' folks do to, but presumably that's cos of her parents and could totally be due to the German influence - people imitating the sovereign's sound at the time. Awesome. Thanks for the comment.

[@VCYT]

No thats just the vowel shift repercussions from centuries ago. They probably kept the old style.

[@huda2379]

Ttoby89 No, as in the royal family is German post WW1 they changed their family name to "Windsor" before it was German also before WW1 the king of britain was literally cousins with Wilhelm II the emperor of germany who started WW1.

[@ChiniWanders]

Ttoby89 The British Royal Family has been German since the House of Hanover. Then Queen Victoria married a German prince, Prince Albert, so the descendants became the House of Saxe Coburg and Gotha but just renamed it to English-sounding Windsor after WW1. They adopted a different surname but German by blood. In fact, Queen Victoria's favorite grandchild was the German emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II.

[@hdrik66]

How do you pronounce house in german ? Certainly Not True

[@ACK333]

She is wonderful. Glad more new actresses coming higher

Right? They should make a UK, grown-up version of The Parent Trap but just use Claire and Emily. And maybe for a sequel cast Sarah Paulson as a US third twin.

[@pinklavender12]

I will miss her on The Crown. Forever the #Queen

[@FlowerThePot]

Claire Foy sounds EXACTLY like Queen Elizabeth II listen to old recordings!

[@limitlessjas]

When they say "house" that way it sounds like hot in German ahaha "heiss" 😂

[@namirxia3308]

Jas Toraay well the queen is german😅

[@danielwhyatt3278]

Bolun Xia Hahaha, doooon’t push it.😆

[@normantrombon]

Jas Toraay ...I think it’s a bit of a holdover from the Dutch, ‘huis’. Sounds virtually the same as it does in Holland.

[@georgeucos9650]

The Queen is very much British, George II being the last British monarch to have been born in Germany and Prince Albert being the nearest German ancestor, well over 200 years ago.

[@krashd]

Prince Charles has the most emphasised accent of the royals, he often gets parodied or impersonated with a very strong accent saying "heiss" or "dyne" (instead of down), it's a very odd, sheltered accent the royals have. People often think the Queen's English and RP English are the same but the Queen's English refers to the heavily accented English of the upper classes ('snooty English') whereas RP just refers to clearly spoken English that doesn't tend to show an accent, as used by many dignitaries and actors when abroad.

[@Geordo1960]

I so wish she was coming back to continue to play a Queen some more.

[@laminage]

If The Magazine "In Fashion" was still around those two would be perfect on The Cover but that's what made The Magazine so cool. They bring folks together that you would never think would associate with each other. Jody Watley (EX Soul Train Dancer, Ex Shalamar Member) and Nicolas Cage, or Mike Tyson & Joan Jett.

Both Actresses who played Queen Elizabeth in The Crown were brilliant. Claire Foy got me when as Queen Elizabeth threw the Tennis Ball & Racquet at Phillip, or when they did the Family Portrait, and The Coronation. Olivia Colman also has this stern harsh look at her.

I just finished the second season of The Crown today; the Queen really does have a very unique accent

[@anaussie213]

Unique, yet the standard accent for an empire.... Australians for example still speaks the Queen’s.

[@rovshanismayilov3150]

love her

[@TraceyMak1]

Her acting on The Crown is so spot on! It makes me question if she is not actually royalty. The casting, acting, costumes, scenary, everything is great except the whole Beryl piece but the whole thing kind of makes you wonder how much pressure The Queen has been under all this time. And why is it just so damn important for everyone to put royalty before their loved ones and lives. Wallace Simpson was not a great choice for the once King of England who was not actually crowned but I think he should have been admired of putting his life and love above a job title.

[@karlosalazar7105]

I'm going to miss her on season 3!

[@chickenpermission7298]

Method man sound like proper Londoner when he says house

[@mattm8441]

It's how almost all Americans pronounce the word. I don't detect any accent when Foy says it.

[@anaussie213]

Matt M yes, the standard American pronunciation of house and the RP version (and the Australian version, and likely the standard Canadian, South African, New Zealand etc) all sound the same.

They just Pronounce House like in German (Haus)

[@Ttoby89]

nah that's like 'howse' or much more like British people say it today. US is more like 'haowse' depending on where, but in the video she's doing 'hayss' or 'heiss' or something. Which yeah like other commenters said could well be a bastardisation of the German ancestors' way of saying it.

[@fleurgi]

Makes sense as they are basically descendant from German royalty with the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha connections.

[@silveryfeather208]

because english is derived from german (and other languages obviously) and old english is a lot closer to modern german than to modern english
