Star of? The Crown? feel sorry for Meghan Markle
One of the stars of the Netflix series The Crown, Matt Smith, has said that he "feels sorry" for Meghan Markle after her engagement to Prince Harry. During an event in New York, the actor, who plays the Duke of Edinburgh, said he sympathizes with her because "life as you know it is gone."
Smith, 35, admitted that there were still many things that awaited Markle, adding: "She is vitiating the prince of England, is that exciting for her?
On the other hand, Claire Foy, 33, who plays Queen Elizabeth in the series, explained that the engagement between Harry, 35, and Meghan, 36, marked an important evolution for the Royal Family, comparing it to the relationship. between Princess Margaret and Army Captain Peter Townsend.
"You realize the fact that Isabel forbade her sister to marry a divorced man; this shows how time has changed and how they have had to evolve," he said.
"And they really have. This would not have been conceivable, this would not have happened 50 years ago," Claire said.
And I think that is why the monarchy will survive and prosper, because it is willing to change, to listen to the people and realize that some elements of the institution are obsolete and unnecessary.
The second season of The Crown, which opens on December 8, will paint an unflattering portrait of Prince Philip.
