  • WE'RE BACK WITH GILLIAN ANDERSON AND OLIVIA COLMAN FOR SEASON

  • FOUR OF "THE CROWN."

  • I KNOW BOTH OF YOU HAVE-- HERE'S A PICTURE OF GILLIAN AND THE

  • QUEEN RIGHT HERE.

  • BOTH OF YOU, IF I'M NOT, HAVE MET HER MAJESTY AND YOU HAVE

  • HONORS GIVEN TO YOU BY HER MAJESTY.

  • WHAT IS IT LIKE?

  • WHAT IS IT LIKE GOING TO BUCKINGHAM?

  • IS IT-- IS IT NERVE RACKING TO BE THERE, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT DO

  • SOMETHING WRONG, OR IS EVERYBODY JUST PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE AND

  • IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER FLAT?

  • ( LAUGHS ) >> IT'S NOT LIKE MOST FLATS I'VE

  • BEEN TO.

  • I WAS-- I WAS VERY NERVOUS.

  • BUT IT WASN'T THE QUEEN THAT GAVE-- THAT I MET.

  • I MET PRINCESS ANN.

  • AND THE PALACE-- WHAT WAS HILARIOUS, IT TURNS OUT

  • EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE IN "THE CROWN" WAS TONED DOWN COMPARED

  • TO AS IT IS IN THE ACTUAL PALACE.

  • THERE ARE -- >> Stephen: MEANING WHAT?

  • >> I WASN'T THERE ON A RAINY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AN AVERAGE

  • DAY.

  • IT WAS A DAY WHEN IT WAS-- BUT THERE WERE ENDLESS PEOPLE WITH

  • GOLD FRILLS ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT

  • OUTFITS AND DIFFERENT UNIFORMS AND-- BUT THE STAFF WERE SO

  • SWEET.

  • AND IF YOU LOOKED NERVOUS, THEY'D GO, "DON'T WORRY, IT'S

  • ALL OKAY.

  • DO YOU WANT A CUP OF TEA?" YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SWEET--

  • "JUST TURN TO THE LEFT, LOOK THAT WAY, STOP HERE"

  • THEY HELPED YOU ALONG THE WAY.

  • BUT IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE, I MEAN, ONE I-- IT'S

  • ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET.

  • AND I SORT OF SAID YES MAINLY FOR MY MOM AND DAD.

  • I TOOK MY DAD, AND HE WAS-- HE COULDN'T WALK VERY FAST.

  • NEFS A WHEELCHAIR, SO HE GOT A REALLY GOOD SEAT.

  • HE GOT NEAR THE FRONT.

  • AND THEY HAD AN ABSOLUTE BALL.

  • AND IT WAS-- IT WAS VERY LUCKY, YOU KNOW.

  • IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MANY PEOPLE, AND I FELT VERY

  • FORTUNATE, AND IT WAS ALSO HILARIOUS.

  • >> Stephen: GILLIAN, WHAT WAS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE FOR YOU?

  • >> WELL ON THE-- ON THE-- I MEAN, I MET HER A FEW TIMES, AND

  • VERY OFTEN THERE'S SOMEBODY WHO WALKS WITH HER AND WHISPERS IN

  • HER EAR TO TELL HER WHO IT IS THAT SHE'S ABOUT TO MEET.

  • I MEAN, SHE MEETS A LOT OF PEOPLE.

  • >> Stephen: SURE.

  • >> AND SHE'S NOT GOING TO REMEMBER WHO EVERYBODY IS.

  • AND SO THERE'S SOMEBODY-- SHE HAS A QUEEN WHISPERER.

  • AND SO THERE'S THAT.

  • AND YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU'RE SPOKEN TO.

  • SO THERE'S-- YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD, AND, YOU

  • KNOW, SHE MAY ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT YOURSELF, OR HOW YOU'RE

  • ENJOYING THE THING THAT SHE'S JUST BEEN TOLD THAT YOU DO.

  • >> Stephen: WELL, YOU'VE MET HER MULTIPLE TIMES, RIGHT?

  • >> YEAH, I'VE MET HER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT ON THAT PARTICULAR

  • TIME WITH THAT IMAGE THAT YOU JUST SHOWED WAS-- WAS IN A VERY,

  • VERY BIG ROOM.

  • AND AT THE END, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ROOM FELT LIKE IT STARTED TO

  • GET SMALLER AND SMALLER.

  • AND I LOOKED OVER AND I REALIZED THAT ALL OF THESE MEN THAT

  • OLIVIA WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE EPAULETS ON THE SHOULDERS

  • AND EVERYTHING, THEY WERE IN A LINE, CUTTINGSING THE ROOM IN

  • HALF.

  • AND THEY ALL HAD TRAYS IN FRONT OF THEM.

  • AND THEY WERE WALKING IN UNISON TOWARDS YOU IN A LINE, SO MAKING

  • THE ROOM SMALLER AND SMALLER.

  • IT WAS LIKE IN "STAR WARS."

  • >> Stephen: SURE, TRASH COMPACTOR.

  • >> THE TRASH COMPACTOR.

  • IT WAS LIKE THAT WITH THE TRAY, SO YOU'RE MEANT TO PUT THE DRINK

  • ON THE TRAY YOU'RE HOLDING AND SKEDADDLE.

  • >> Stephen: GET OUT, GET OUT.

  • "HAVE YOU HAD FUN?

  • GOOD, GO.

  • SHE'S AN OLD LADY AND SHE'S BUSY, GET OUT."

  • SEASON FOUR OF "THE CROWN" IS AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX THIS

  • SUNDAY.
