The British actress, 39, who originated the role of the late king in the critically-acclaimed show, said that once the decision was made to leave the show, she ‘let it go.’ ‘

Ms Foy, who won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for the film, left the program at the height of its success and was succeeded by Olivia Colman.

‘I have a lot of love for the people who are still doing the show, but for my own sanity, I finished the show after it was over,’ he said. People’s magazine.

‘I let it go and moved on and I think it’s great.’

He previously stated that while he was ‘very, very proud’ of the role he won in 2016, he was keen to move forward with his career.

‘I don’t feel like I’m being defined by playing with Queen Elizabeth,’ he said after stepping down in 2017.

It’s a huge honor that people like that character and see me as that character. So, I’m not trying to strongly oppose that.’

He added: ‘My career is mine alone. I can’t do it for anyone else and the choices and decisions I make are based purely on what I want to do. That’s the truth. It’s selfish.’

The actress is known for many horror movies including playing Lisbeth Salander in Girl in the Spider’s Web and Neil Armstrong’s wife Janet in First Man.

He stars in the upcoming All of Us Strangers, opposite Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, which is expected for an Oscar nomination.
