Watching The Crown (Season 4) right now. Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor are amazing as Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Ditto Olivia Colman as the Queen. But I think the real sleeper talent in the cast is Erin Doherty as Princess Anne - her portrayal is spot-on, imo. I think Gillian Anderson is very good as Thatcher but maybe just slightly affected.
EDIT: I see what you mean now. The first interview was five years ago and the second one is current. I guess she completely immersed herself in the Thatcher role and it trickled into real life.

You are absolutely right, Doherty is fantastic as Anne, so great and believable that most people overlook it!
Also, re: Anderson and Thatcher, I was so curious given the very specific way she portrays her (tight mouth, constant lip licking and ALWAYS tilting the head on the right) that I looked up some old Thatcher footage and didn't find a single piece of evidence she did any of the above things. NO idea where or how Anderson decided to do it like that. I think Coleman (who is so good she's SCARY) was a bit embarrassed.
