TheCrown: Should Princess Anne have been our favorite all along?
Said Doherty, “I don’t think she’s trying to be mean. She’s just kind of like, No, I’m going to tell you what I really think of this and you’re going to have to handle it. Because I’m not going to lie. I love that about her.”
The actor said the key to figuring out Anne’s physicality was her voice. “Especially at that young age, you can see that she’s kind of pushing her voice down a bit. The moment I started to do that, I found myself getting really angry. It taught me a lot about where she’s coming from, psychologically. I think you can tell a lot about someone from their voice because it’s quite a personal thing.”
As for the reason behind that anger: Doherty explained that, as a teenager, Anne was criticized by press—judged on her appearance and her straightforward, unsmiling ways. She seemed biologically incapable of suffering fools or mechanically grinning through photo ops. The press, in turn, dubbed her rude, sulky, and even the ““What fascinated me and shocked me the most about Anne is that she was put under so much scrutiny—in particular about her physically when she was a teenager,” said Doherty.
Said Doherty, “I’m really excited for people to kind of rediscover Anne in a way because I think she’s up there with the best.”
