Claire Foy said she ended her role on the Netflix series "The Crown" for the sake of her mental health but has no regrets portraying the role of Queen Elizabeth II.

The 39-year-old played the former monarch during her youth in the first two seasons of the show. Since then, different actresses took on the role as the timeline of the story progressed. The actress said she too has since "moved on" following her departure from the series in 2017, and only has nice things to say about those still involved with it.
