Daisy Ridley's Confession About the Royal Family Will Shock Americans, She Says

Daisy Ridley is on the cover of British GQ‘s January/February 2020 issue.

Here’s what the 27-year-old Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star had to share with the mag…

On the Royal Family: “I’m going to tell you something so shocking for Americans but not Brits: I don’t massively care about the royal family. I am not a royalist. Buckingham Palace is great, but it’s an unused building, isn’t it? The other day, there was a story that the Queen uses six rooms in the palace. Six. How is that a good thing? It’s prime real estate.”

On her safety: “I was followed home by someone in a van, this f*cking paparazzi person. I was still by myself and being followed wherever I went and they now have the number plate of the car I was in… That’s where it’s more scary as a woman. I have to be so vigilant with security and keeping myself safe. It’s horrid.”

On if she’ll ever play Rey again: “It felt like an end… I can’t actually imagine it right now… I don’t know what’ll happen in however many years.”

See the full feature in the January/February 2020 issue of British GQ available via digital download and newsstands on Friday December 6th.
