TikTok star Alli Hurley’s thoughts on how someone likeQueen Elizabethwould navigate modern motherhood came to her in a dream.
The spoof calls back to how a young Queen Elizabeth was portrayed in the hit Netflix royal drama, which the new mom of two says shaped her take.
“We were watching a lot ofThe Crown, early seasons. When Queen Elizabeth was young and having her kids and you see all these scenes where she’s in her dressing room and she’s got 10 ladies waiting, zipping up her gown,” Hurley says.
“From what I know of Queen Elizabeth, she was very down to earth and even still, I think it was so fascinating to me, the way that they live. And how Claire Foy does her accent, it’s just so beautiful. I can’t get enough of it. I just could listen to it all day long,” she says of the star’s Emmy Award-winning turn in seasons 1 and 2 ofThe Crown,which hasrotated its castto reflect the royals aging through the decades.

Voicing gratitude for the warm reaction the deadpan Baroness has received from viewers, the TikToker says the platform proved to be an ideal creative outlet as her family has expanded.
“When you’re pregnant and postpartum, I just wasn’t getting any auditions and so I was like, ‘Oh, this will be fun to do.’ But I just got such encouragement from other moms who would say like, ‘Oh wow, wouldn’t this be great?’ But just also people that were kind,” Hurley says of the community she found. “It was just so nice to meet people online and hear from other people that they also love the accent or they had these same wishes that they just could hire somebody to take over for a couple of days.”
