To be fair, other than Diana the casting in terms of looks is a bit all over the place this season. Imelda Staunton looks absolutely nothing like the Queen, same for the Tony Blair actor. Even the actress who plays Diana is noticeably far skinnier than she was.
But as long as the performances are good I don’t think it matters too much. The crown has always been more about the incredible acting for me than having uncanny look alikes.

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.
