Claire Foy is yet another actress who is undervalued despite being the lead protagonist in a series and yet could not break the cycle of the gender pay gap. Foy played the role of Queen Elizabeth and was paid less than her onscreen husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, played by Matt Smith. Since the case came into the limelight, Netflix has also been checking into other salaries.
