Does Claire Foy have a relationship with Queen Elizabeth? Well, sort of. When "The Crown" actor was hosting "Saturday Night Live" on Dec. 1, 2018, Foy broached the topic. "One of the questions I get asked the most is whether I've actually met the queen," Foy said in her opening monologue. "The truth is, I have."
Foy went on: "I was invited to an event at Buckingham Palace, the real one, and I'm waiting in line to meet the queen and a million questions are running through my mind. 'What will the queen say to me?' 'How will I respond?' And then it happened." Foy went on, "and I shook the queen's hand and she smiled at me and she said absolutely nothing about 'The Crown.'"
"Of course," Foy went on with the punchline, "this was three years before I did 'The Crown' but still."
While this was a clever opening for SNL, that's the end of Foy's personal connection to the queen. More than that, we have no way of knowing if the queen has even watched "The Crown." In fact, according to The New York Times, BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond was asked if the royals, including the queen, watch the Netflix show. He replied, "I don't know, and if I did, I wouldn't tell you."
