Gillian Anderson has reacted to claims that she would not be returning to film The Crown season 6. For the unversed, the Emmy-award-winning actress essays the role of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the popular Netflix series that portrays the lives of British royals, especially Queen Elizabeth II.

Recently, The Sun cited sources as it reported that Anderson has exited the royal drama, following which makers have been forced to rewrite the script of the upcoming and final season of The Crown. “It had been hoped she would be able to make an appearance in scenes around the golden wedding (Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s golden wedding anniversary) but sadly that has not been the case due to scheduling issues,” the source added. And now, Anderson has reacted to these claims.
