The Sun newspaper and Deadline revealed why Gillian Anderson who played the PM Margaret Thatcher in Netflix special The Crown is against the portrayal of health issues concerning the Royals. The Johnny English star said, “It probably ended at the right spot. It was getting too close to present day.” X-Files actress Gillian also commented on Kate and King Charles’ Cancer diagnosis stating, “Right now, it’s a moment where we understand that they have asked for a bit of peace and quiet around what they’re experiencing — and it feels like that’s the least that we can do,” and added further, “I think in this instance with this latest double whammy of news, the least that people can do, is to give them a bit of a break and for them to process this as the human beings that they actually are.” The Crown finished in 2023 after six successful seasons and ended at the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
