Anya Taylor-Joy and The Queen are double covers stars for British Vogue.
The actress shares the April issue cover of British Vogue with the monarch for a double cover issue. She’s even styled with a perfect replica of the George IV State Diadem for the royal issue. The magazine promises to cover Her Majesty’s reign from the early years to the modern era.
For the cover story, Taylor-Joy shared her reaction to waking up to global recognition after the release of “The Queen’s Gambit”.
“Nothing about my life changed. Then I dropped into New York and within an hour I was back at Ivy [Getty]’s house just like shivering on the floor,” she recalled. “It was so intense.”

While her friends tried to give her advice for her situation, there was just no way Taylor-Joy could avoid getting recognized.
“I was dressed like an East Berlin spy at all times. Eventually Ivy was like, ‘We can’t fix it, sorry,’” she shared. While she’s grateful for the success, it was an adjustment period. She needed “a second to understand it and make it OK for [herself].”

The star has always found herself a bit of an odd one out in the landscape of acting. It wasn’t until her first role on “The Witch” that she felt she “fit in” for the first time. Kate Dickie, who played her mother in the film, was her “first real best friend.”
“I only made friends close to my age group maybe three or four years ago,” she added. “I think Ivy was the first.”
