In a past interview with Town and Country, Erin Doherty, who portrays Anne in The Crown, referred to her hairstyle as a “beast”, saying: “Makeup literally took 10 minutes, but hair, sometimes it would take two hours. But it was so necessary for her character because it felt like her hair and her fashion were the way that she was able to express herself in the confined, controlled environment that she grew up in.” Princess Anne joked about the comments, stating: “Actually I read an article the other day about The Crown, the actress was talking about how long it took them to do their hair like I did. “And I’m thinking, ‘How could you possibly take that long?’ I mean it takes me 10 or 15 minutes.” open image in gallery Princess Anne and her brother Prince Charles Later in the documentary, Princess Anne also commented on social media, stating that while she took part in several virtual meetings when public outings were banned, she felt it was no substitute for face-to-face meetings. open image in gallery Erin Doherty portrays Princess Anne in Nettflix series The Crown “I mean, I know what Twitter is but I wouldn't go anywhere near it if you paid me frankly.” She also suggested social media was adding to the pressures already faced by younger royals such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Sussexes.
