British stars Claire Foy and Matt Smith looked royally regal at the premiere of their £100 million Netflix drama The Crown earlier this week.

matt-smith-clare-foyFoy, known for her roles as members of the royal family, plays the young Queen Elizabeth II in the stunning ten-part series.

Claire looked every inch a blue-blood in a stunning off-the-shoulder pink dress that featured detailed gold embroidery.

The 32-year-old looked delighted to be reunited with her co-star Matt, who plays Prince Philip.

Matt looked smart in a black suit and tie and gave Claire a hug as the posed on the red carpet, surrounded by actors posing as the Queen’s royal guards.

Also joining them at the premiere were The Fall’s Gillian Anderson and Gemma Oaten, who had a little fun while poking one of the royal guards.

Speaking about the series and their roles as the iconic monarchs, Claire and Matt said they saw Elizabeth and Philip as “real human beings”.

Claire told The Telegraph: “When you’re a British citizen, you just accept that they’re there and take them for granted. And then you stop and realise, hang on, this was a young couple with two young children who didn’t think this [their accession to the throne] would happen for another 20 years.

“Their lives change in an instant, while they’re still grieving and going through something terrible personally. I don’t know how anyone can’t sympathise with that.”

And so another binge watch begins!
