Dominic West reveals details of Crown star's fall-out with Prince Harry

Dominic West, known for his role in The Crown, was once a close friend of the Duke of Sussex, and together, they undertook a South Pole trek for the charity Walking for the Wounded. However, West has now confirmed that he's been cut off by Prince Harry.

The rift reportedly stems from West's disclosures during a joint press conference after their expedition, where he shared anecdotes, including one about toasting their success with champagne from a co-adventurer's prosthetic leg. This led to a falling out, with Prince Harry accusing West of invading his privacy, resulting in no communication between them since.

The actor, who portrayed Queen Elizabeth II's late son, discussed his relationship with Harry during a Times Radio interview. West, 54, and Harry previously joined forces in 2013 for a charity trek to the South Pole with 'Walking With the Wounded,' supporting injured veterans in the UK.”


When inquired about whether Harry provided guidance on approaching the role of Charles, West clarified that they are currently not communicating.

He mentioned a press conference where he divulged too much information, leading to a lack of communication between them. West attributed this to potentially oversharing when asked about their celebratory actions upon reaching a certain point.

Oddly enough, it's reported that 39-year-old Harry has developed a dislike for anyone suspected of being friends with the actor.

During a 2014 press conference, West openly shared how the team celebrated completing a 208-mile trek the previous year. He mentioned, "Two Aussie guys stripped naked and ran around the pole, but most of us, including Harry, indulged in a two-day bender with Icelandic truck drivers who brought potent homebrew."

Reflecting on their strained friendship, the 54-year-old star of The Wire and The Affair explained, "We lost touch because I divulged too much in a press conference, and we didn't speak after that.”

On December 14, Netflix unveiled the last six episodes of "The Crown." The initial part of Season 6, which premiered in November, delved into the concluding weeks of Princess Diana's (Elizabeth Debicki) life leading up to her tragic car crash in Paris in 1997. The latter portion of the season explored the years from 1998 to 2005.
