Speaking to the Evening Standard earlier this year, Colman said, “I’m trying to eat less because Queen Elizabeth II was really tiny... I’m trying not to drink alcohol, eating healthily, just, erm, you know, walking.”

She added that she has tried to do plenty of "normal things" before the show begins: “I’m trying to do as many normal things as possible before The Crown" she said, "I try not to overlap jobs. At the moment I’m happy getting in all the stuff I can’t do when I am working.”
