royalty Ten years ago, ‘The Crown’ actor Dominic West (54) got to know British Prince Harry better during a trip to the South Pole. However, the two no longer speak to each other, the actor now reveals in an interview with ‘Times Radio’. “I said too much during a press conference,” he explains.
The two got along well during the charity expedition, during which they accompanied wounded veterans to the South Pole. However, Dominic did not ask Harry for advice when he was cast in the role of King Charles in the penultimate season of ‘The Crown’ last year, as they have not spoken to each other for some time.
It has been speculated for some time that the British royals are not happy with the popular Netflix series. But West’s appearance in the last two seasons has nothing to do with the broken friendship, according to the actor.

“I said too much during a press conference and we haven’t spoken since,” West explains in an interview with ‘Times Radio’. The actor was asked in 2014 how the group had celebrated their arrival at the South Pole a year earlier. His answer to that question would have caused Harry resentment. “There was a lot of drinking,” Dominic began. “We all drank champagne from Duncan’s prosthetics.” The actor was referring to Duncan Slater, one of the veterans who traveled with him. He was injured in Afghanistan in 2009 and had to have both legs amputated.

West also called the prince a “great guy” and revealed that Harry had told “rude jokes” during their trip. “It was quite shocking,” he said.
