Erin Doherty’s new role sure to be approved by Princess Anne
Erin Doherty might just get the tick of approval from Princess Anne as she holds the reins in the forthcoming series A Thousand Blows.
Doherty, 30, who played the role of horse-mad Princess Anne in The Crown, will star in the new drama which tells the story of the Forty Elephants, an all-woman crime syndicate specialising in shoplifting from department stores.
Much like her role as Princess Anne, images from the upcoming series have seen the actress in a Victorian outfit driving a horse-drawn carriage on set in London.
The period drama will also star actor Stephen Graham and it’s created by Stephen Knight who was responsible for the hit gangster drama Peaky Blinders.
The presence of horses is sure to please King Charle’s sister as she is a known horse-lover. Prince Phillip once joked, “If it doesn’t fart or eat hay, she isn’t interested.”
The series will also be heavy on boxing but will explore the social climate of London during the post-industrial revolution era.
It is still under production and is set to be released on Disney+ with 12 episodes.
