The surprise cameo revealed itself during the eighth episode of the current season. The scene, which is a flashback sequence, takes the viewers back to the year 1947. The scene sees Foy’s princess Elizabeth II recreate the iconic 1947 commonwealth address speech that the real-life queen delivered on the eve of her 21st birthday from Cape Town, South Africa. In the speech, princess Elizabeth II pledged her allegiance to the commonwealth and dedicated her life to the service of the institution. The real-life speech is deemed to be a historic event.

Shortly after the speech, the viewers are transported back to the current timeline (1985), where Elizabeth II, who is now a queen, is going over the same matter with Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. The matter has clearly caused a rift between Anderson’s Thatcher and Coleman’s Elizabeth II.
