Reply to comment by eidbio in TVLine Performers of the Week: Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West in 'The Crown' by MarvelsGrantMan136

I’d say she definitely looked more like her than Staunton, and more importantly fit well as an aged up Claire Foy. Staunton doesn’t really fit either of those.

But she’s still a great actress, which like I said is the most important thing for The Crown.

Agree to disagree. Colman looked nothing like the queen.

Colman is a great actress and I tend to love her in most things, but her casting as Elizabeth II really took me out of those seasons of the Crown. She was a really bad fit. Staunton is much better.

I think she's a good actress as well, but at least in the Crown she just seemed to be playing a version of herself instead of the Queen. I somewhat prefer Staunton, even though she doesn't really look like the Queen either, but she's at least more immersed in the role.
