“I’ve got a lot of love for the people who are still doing the show, but for my own sanity, I ended the show when I ended it,” she told People. “I let it go and moved on and I think that’s quite healthy.”

Previously, Claire told the site that she wasn’t afraid of leaving the show behind.

“I don’t feel like I’m defined by playing Queen Elizabeth,” she said. “It’s a huge honor that people liked that character and therefore see me as that character. So, I’m not trying to actively go against that.”

Olivia Colman picked up the role of Queen Elizabeth in seasons three and four, while Imelda Staunton has portrayed her for seasons five and six.
