Meet Rachel Skarsten - The Actress Behind Reign's Queen Elizabeth I

She was welcomed to set almost immediately

“I had no idea what to expect though and I felt the pressure of the part, but Adelaide [Kane] was so welcoming,” Rachel once said of earning the role of Elizabeth and how easy it was to be on set. “It wasn’t five minutes after it was announced that I got the part that I got a message from her welcoming me to the show.”

“That was so cool and that really set the tone. They really are like a little family here. I say this completely genuinely. I feel truly blessed to have been welcomed into their little crew and it has been seamless.”
