Claire Foy cut a casual figure as she ran errands during an outing in Highgate, London on Tuesday. The Crown star, 41, opted for a laid back look in a black v-neck top and dark jeans as she went food shopping. The actress wrapped up in a beige trench coat and added to her ouftit with a dark brown handbag. Styling her brunette locks into an updo, Claire completed her look with a simple silver necklace. The actress is best known for portraying Queen Elizabeth II on the first two seasons of Netflix hit The Crown.

She received various accolades for the role including a Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmy Awards. Her role in The Crown came just one year after she portrayed another royal, Henry VIII's wife Anne Boelyn in the BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. More recently, she appeared in the critically acclaimed drama All Of Us Strangers alongside Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. At the end of last year, she filmed upcoming project H Is For Hawk which caused 'chaos' in a quiet residential street where it was shot. Security guards brought in by the production company of the film H is for Hawk have been accused of being 'rude and aggressive'. One security officer admitted 'things got crazy' between the film crew and local residents in the battle for parking spots. Residents have lost their parking spaces outside their front doors and are being forced to use a Pay and Display car park paid for by the film company. The production crew had been preparing the location in Plasturton Avenue, in the leafy Cardiff suburb of Pontcanna for almost a month. Claire was apparently unaware of the bitter dispute going on in the street where the movie is being shot over the next two weeks. One angry resident said: 'We are up in arms as the production crew have caused absolute chaos, blocking off massive areas along Plasturton gardens, Plasturton Ave and Sneyd Street. 'They are employing around the clock security to threaten residents if they attempt to park anywhere along the road. They were rude and aggressive. 'Some neighbours have been issued with threats of clamping and cars being removed by the production team. They are not in a position to do that.' A neighbour living just yards from the film shoot said: 'Parking is difficult here at the best of times and while it's good that films like this are being made in Cardiff it is a major inconvenience.' The hit series His Dark Materials was filmed in the same street but that all went smoothly and locals were happy to hear H is for Hawk was being filmed there. They received a letter saying they wanted to reserve some on street parking spots for technical vehicles and some 'prop cars'.

I've written a couple of different versions of what the show could be.' Del Marquis added: 'We created an enormous Excel spreadsheet because there are a couple of Virgos in this band, and we colour-coded it—like 'I definitely want to play this,' or 'please, God, no.'' 'And very easily, I realised, you know, I might put a big note against something, but then think, it's not for me—that song is for someone else.
