The Crown's Emma Corrin opens up about coming out as queer: My journey has been a long one.
The Crown star Emma Corrin who shot to fame after essaying the role of Princess Diana on the Netflix show recently addressed her coming out journey for the first time in an interview with ITV. Corrin initially came out as queer in April of this year and in July, announced her new pronouns as she/they. In her recent interview though, the actress spoke about her decision to come out and the support she received from the LGBTQ+ community.
While talking about making a decision to come out after first finding it "scary" Corrin stated how visibility matters and said, "I think visibility is key with these things. My journey has been a long one and has still got a long way to go." Adding further about labels and how society pressures us into defining our identities, Emma further added that she's still somewhere in between and said, "It’s taken me a long time to realise that I exist somewhere in between and I’m still not sure where that is yet."
Corrin ahead of her interview had also shared an Instagram post where she wrote how scary it was to address her queer identity for the first time on TV but mentioned that visibility is key.
After coming out, Emma celebrated her first Pride Month and also shared a post on buying her first binder as she advised her fans saying, "It’s all a journey right. Lots of twists and turns and change and that’s ok! Embrace it. Bind safely, find what works for you."
