"The Crown"'s Claire Foy Says She's "Honored" to Have Portrayed Queen Elizabeth II

"Michelle and I were lucky enough to come to know Her Majesty, and she meant a great deal to us," the former president wrote in a statement on behalf of himself and the former first lady. "Back when we were just beginning to navigate life as President and First Lady, she welcomed us to the world stage with open arms and extraordinary generosity. Time and again, we were struck by her warmth, the way she put people at ease, and how she brought her considerable humor and charm to moments of great pomp and circumstance. . . . Our thoughts are with her family and the people of the United Kingdom at this difficult time."
