Claire Foy is seen in The Night Watch (2011). She stated that filming sexual scenes in sex was “grim” and that “nobody would ever enjoy it”. 

The divorce proceedings revealed that there were allegations of fraud, theft, violence and bribery.

Foy discussed why she doesn’t like filming sex scenes on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.

Crown’s star stated that she felt exploited as a woman when she was forced to do fake sex. You feel exploited.

It’s dark, it’s one of the most dangerous things you could do. This makes you feel naked. You can try your best to avoid feeling that way. But it’s the fact of life.

“But I was very certain that it should be there, but it needed to be feminine.

I didn’t want the sexual encounter to have that awful, climactic ending you are used to seeing on film.

Foy also shot sex scenes for Erin Matthews, Anne Boleyn, Wolf Hall (2015) and Dawn in Wreckers (2011). Charlotte was also featured in White Heat (2012).

She told The Sun in 2018 a similar story: “If there was ever a time when I didn’t have to perform sex again, it would be the greatest thing in the universe, since no one in their right minds would enjoy that.

“You are concerned about the crew’s thoughts, their discomfort, and whether or not they feel comfortable.

‘You’re just thinking, God, let this be over!’

In this drama, Margaret Campbell (Duchess of Argyll) was labelled a nymphomaniac.

It was their longest and most expensive divorce in 20 years.

Margaret claimed that she had taken on 88 love interests during Margaret’s marriage. This included Hollywood celebrities, ministers of cabinet, and even royals.

Foy dismissed the claim that the duchess of Cambridge was publicly shamed by the “mass media” in the Woman’s Hour interview.

She replied, “I absolutely hate the term slut shameing.

“But, I believe that women have been basically slut-shamed for ages.” I suspect Eve was probably the slut-shamed.

Elle added that she hated the way it was rephrased about the title’s ownership and used in ways that justify it more.

‘Just’ the word slut, I think it should be eliminated.
