Closer USA compiled the actors' recent interviews, starting with Doherty. Who plays the role of Princess Anne. She thinks Princess Royal initially wanted to become friends with Princess Diana.
However, she soon learned that royal fans favored the Princess of Wales more than her, and she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Fennell, on the other hand, knows that Camilla Parker Bowles watches The Crown. But the actress said that this isn’t the best time for the Duchess of Cornwall to catch up on the series.

But it didn’t take the couple long to realize that their marriage was doomed from the start.
Colman, who plays the role of Queen Elizabeth, said that Her Majesty would question her mothering skills in the series. After all, the monarch knows that she was a distant mother when Prince Charles and Princess Anne were still very little.
Marion Bailey, who plays the role of Queen Mother, said that her character is never shy to offer her thoughts and advice to anyone, including her eldest daughter.
The Queen Mother is also involved in Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage when she tells them to suck it up because their relationship is about duty and not love.
