Her divorce and re-marriage to Laurence were both controversial, as she was only the fifth royal to have got a divorce since Henry VIII.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Harrison has teased how Anne will factor into Charles\u2019 storyline, as he goes through his own separation and eventual divorce.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThere was disapproval from her towards a lot of Charles\u2019 behaviour but they had a very similar upbringing. The Queen was a full-time working mother when Charles and Anne were small and left them at home a lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cNine years later, when Andrew and Edward came along, she was there for them much more, so that makes Charles and Anne\u2019s relationship quite interesting. Where you see us with the script in this season is that Anne defends Charles during his divorce from Diana and affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles but is also his chief critic in the way that only siblings can be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had some lovely scenes, Dominic and I: it\u2019s a lovely vibe between the two siblings and it\u2019s great fun to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether she likes the real Anne, Harrison said: \u201cI think I\u2019m playing the best royal! She\u2019s a proper feminist. She doesn\u2019t put a foot wrong and she leads by example.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison also revealed that while she couldn\u2019t meet former Anne actress Erin Doherty because of COVID, she did exchange messages with her.<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cI hope we\u2019ll be in a room together at some point. I loved watching her and when I got the part I said to the movement and voice guys, \u2018Should I incorporate a little bit of what she did?\u2019 but the feeling was, \u2018No, you\u2019re bringing yourself to the part with who that person is in real life and that\u2019s it.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I think you probably do absorb some of what they\u2019ve done. She did such a good job.\u201d<\/p>
