Claire Foy (38) has no understanding of this. The series The Crown inspired a wide audience with the history and depiction of the family relationships of the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II (✝96) was played by several actresses, including Claire Foy, who plays the young British monarch. Even if her fame has risen sharply through her role, she has one objection: Claire is upset that she was paid less than her colleague Matt Smith (40)!
In the hit Netflix series, the 38-year-old played the British royal couple alongside Matt. Although the two took on one of the leading roles, they were not paid fairly: As reported by the Guardian, Claire learned from the producers in 2018 that she received less money than her colleague! “I wasn’t shocked. I was very upset. Not that I was crying angrily. I was very angry,” she revealed how she reacted to the news.
But now Claire has come to terms with it. After all, this role earned her two Emmys and a Golden Globe. “I really love my industry and I think it’s made up of many honorable, incredibly talented, brilliant, imaginative, amazing people,” added the Brit.
