Gillian Anderson<\/strong><\/a>, who has starred in two projects about the royal family, doesn\u2019t think King Charles III<\/strong> <\/a>and Princess Kate Middleton<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s respective cancer battles need to be serialized for the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no. I think it probably ended at the right spot,\u201d Anderson, 55, told Entertainment Tonight <\/i><\/a>in an interview published on Thursday, March 28. \u201cIt was getting too close to present day. It\u2019s much easier when it was further in the past, and I think people didn\u2019t have, necessarily, a direct relationship with the people on the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson played former prime minister Margaret Thatcher<\/strong> on season 4 of The Crown. <\/i>The Netflix drama, following Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong>\u2019s historic reign as monarch, concluded in 2022 after six seasons. The final episodes introduced a then-teenaged Prince William<\/strong> as he met now-wife Kate at college in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Anderson is now starring in a second royal-inspired project, Scoop, <\/i>as British journalist Emily Maitlis<\/strong>. The upcoming Netflix film follows Charles\u2019 brother Prince Andrew<\/strong>\u2019s bombshell BBC interview<\/a> about his sexual misconduct scandal. (Andrew, 64, has denied all allegations and settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. He has also since stepped down from his post as a senior working royal and been stripped of his honorary titles.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHollywood is sending their well wishes to Princess Kate Middleton after she shared her cancer diagnosis. After weeks of speculation surrounding her well-being and whereabouts, the Princess of Wales shared her condition via a video message on Friday, March 22. \u201cIn January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite starring in projects about the British royals, Anderson remains firm that Charles, 75, and Kate, 42, should not be the subject of a movie or TV show about their health struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a moment where we understand they have asked for a bit of peace and quiet around what they\u2019re experiencing and it feels like that\u2019s the least we can do,\u201d Anderson told ET<\/i>. \u201cI think in this instance with this latest double-whammy of news the least that people can do is give them a bit of a break and let the headlines settle down for them, to process this as the human beings that they actually are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace confirmed in February that Charles had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer<\/a>, which had been discovered after he underwent a corrective prostate procedure. The palace did not reveal if the king\u2019s cancer is related to his prostate, but royal reporter Omid Scobie<\/strong> claimed it was not.<\/p>\n
