Inside Unforgotten star Victoria Hamilton's life from famous husband to Netflix role
Victoria Hamilton is a similar face on our screens and has starred in many big TV dramas. She is well known for her role as long-suffering wife Anna Baker on BBC drama Doctor Foster.
The actress, 53, has been in the spotlight for three decades and one of her first ever television roles was as Mrs Forster in Pride and Prejudice in 1995. That same year, she donned her corset once again to play Henrietta Musgrove in Persuasion.
In 2016 and 2017, she appeared in the first two seasons of the Netflix series The Crown as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
It wasn't her first time playing a member of royalty. She won the role of Queen Victoria in the 2001 TV production, Victoria & Albert, portraying the monarch in her early years.

Now the star has joined the cast of the Unforgotten and has taken on the role of Juliet Cooper. Juliet is a history lecturer and faculty head at a London university, where a complaint is made against her by a student. She’s a bereaved wife and the mother of troubled teenage daughter Taylor.
The ITV hit drama recently made its return to our TV screens as Sinead Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar were back as DCI Jess James and DI Sunny Khan.
The first episode kicked off with a spine being pulled from Whitney Marsh, marking the start of a new case for Jess and Sunny's team at Bishop Street CID.
Victoria Hamilton's family life
Away from work, Victoria is also a wife and mother. She is married to actor Mark Bazeley. The couple met while co-starring in a 2005 production of Tennessee Williams's Suddenly Last Summer.
The duo, who got engaged on a beach in Greece, married in 2008, and have since welcomed two sons named Tam and Hal.
Speaking about her husband, Victoria previously said: "I got very, very lucky. I was lucky that I met the man I wanted to marry and have children with at exactly the right time. I'd had lots of career already. And it's just a very solid thing in your life. If work goes great, it's fantastic. And if it doesn't, you've got your family. I'm hugely lucky. Do I sound really smug?"
Giving an insight on how she fell for an actor, Victoria added: "When you're in a performance and the dynamics of the relationship are really working, it feels natural.
"So when you meet someone in an acting job and everything just clicks, you have to be aware of that danger. You need to spend time testing the relationship to see if it's really real, so it can work out. I think we probably both did that. When the job was over, there was a long period of, 'Is this actually real?'"
Unforgotten season 6 is now available to stream in full on ITVX. Episodes also air weekly on ITV1 every Sunday and Monday at 9pm.
