We knew, of course, of the royal rift between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles. We didn’t know there was bad blood with the actor who plays him on The Crown!
Harry reportedly used to be a fan of the Netflix hit, before this final season anyway. When we heard he was no longer watching the show this season, we assumed it was due to the depiction of his mother Princess Diana‘s death, as well as his own awkward adolescence. But there’s another uncomfortable aspect which may have pushed him away — the casting of Prince Charles.
Actor Dominic West, of The Wire fame, took on that role for this final era of the royal family’s saga. And it turns out he and Harry used to be friends — but had a terrible falling out!

On the latest episode of Times Radio‘s Sunday Morning, West was asked about his friendship with the Duke of Sussex. And he revealed they no longer speak!
A press conference? What did he say?? This was after an event for the charity Walking With the Wounded in 2013, in which Dominic and Harry went on an expedition to the South Pole with a group of injured soldiers. It had apparently been a joyous excursion for the pals. However, the following year in a press conference, the 300 alum gave what he thought was an innocent answer about how they celebrated the successful trek:
Dominic demurred a bit on the radio program. But DailyMail.com‘s Richard Eden got the inside scoop. The journo was told last year what it was specifically that West said which offended His Majesty.
He shared in the press conference how Harry was a “really cool guy” and “part of the team.” But he also mentioned the Prince “told some eye-wateringly rude jokes which

Kate Middleton is reportedly 'heartbroken' over Prince William's decision on their son, Prince George's future education plans.
Prince Harry's final straw in his decision to leave the Firm was after a touching family video without him was shared by the royals, according to claims.
The Making of a Modern Monarch that the future king and his wife, Kate Middleton, have often had “heated” fights and he “can be a bit of a shouter when he loses it.”William could have “quite extreme mood swings, just as [his late mother Princess] Diana did,” Jobson wrote. “She could be your best friend one minute and the next your worst enemy.”Additionally, Jobson claimed that a former royal aide told him that it was “fair” to note that William and Middleton, 41, “gave as good as they get if their disagreement results in raised voices.”“But they know each other so well, it usually blows over quickly – and she is, on the whole, a major calming influence on him,” the source said.Despite the Prince of Wales’ alleged tantrums here and there, he and Middleton have a “solid relationship.”“She gives him confidence,” the expert revealed.
Dominic West, known for his role in The Crown, has shared some cheeky stories about Prince Harry that led to a fallout between them. In a recent chat, Dominic admitted: "We sort of [lost touch because] I said too much in a press conference, and so, we didn't speak after that." Back in 2014, Dominic spilled the beans about Prince Harry's playful antics during a charity trip to the South Pole. He praised Harry as a "fantastically nice chap" but also revealed some of his wilder moments away from the public eye.The actor, who plays Prince Charles in the Netflix series based on the Royal Family, recalled how Harry once drank champagne from Duncan Slater's prosthetic leg to celebrate the end of their polar challenge.
Kate Middleton “is prepared to fight” for the crown, and it may be the very reason she has gotten so “close” to King Charles III.While assisting King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, in hosting over 500 members of the diplomatic corps at Buckingham Palace’s annual reception on Dec. 5, the 41-year-old Princess of Wales dazzled in the historic Lover’s Knot tiara, a favorite of Princess Diana’s, and effortlessly hobnobbed with all of the dignitaries in attendance.“She hugely enjoyed that evening and looked really at home,” a royal source shared with People.
Times Radio how he once “said too much in a press conference” following their expedition. West and the Duke of Sussex, 39, were part of the charity event Walking With the Wounded a decade prior where they helped build latrines.“I think I was asked what we did … [and] what we did to celebrate when we got there and probably said something too much,” West said about Harry ghosting him.After the trip’s “welcome home” conference, the two never spoke again. At the press event at the time, the actor said: “[Harry] told some eye-wateringly rude jokes, which for a non-soldier like me was pretty shocking.”He also claimed that Harry chugged champagne out of a prosthetic leg, which belonged to Duncan Slater, a double amputee who was injured in Afghanistan in 2009.

After two days of eating and drinking in lavish style, Boxing Day is when many of the royals get up early, pull on their waxed Barbour jackets and wellington boots, and load their guns for a day of shooting on the 20,000-acre Sandringham estate. Although for many of us the day is about strolling off the excesses, playing games and snuggling in front of the TV, senior members of the family are expected to join the hunt for plump pheasants or grouse.
The Royal Family take part in many traditions each Christmas - some of which are classic and others which are unique to them. From attending a church service, just like many of us up and down the UK to opening their presents on Christmas Eve to pay homage to their German heritage, the royals' day will be enjoyed by everyone. But every year, the family attracts huge amounts of criticism for one custom that traditionally takes place on Boxing Day.
Along with cringey cracker jokes, fights over the best Quality Street chocolate and post-lunch naps in front of the TV, Christmas Day would not feel right if we didn’t see the royals heading off on their seasonal trip to church. While the service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham is a strictly private affair, all eyes turn on the family as they make their way there, often stopping to chat to locals who gather to give their seasonal greetings. Last year, the family headed to church for the first time without Queen Elizabeth II leading the way.
The Royal Family are expected to spend Christmas at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk this year with members of the family all staying in the main house and vacant surrounding properties.To relieve the number of people staying in the house itself, royals such as the Prince and Princess of Wales are likely to stay at their nearby home of Anmer Hall with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.Thought to be their favourite property, Anmer Hall was a wedding gift to the couple from the late Queen and is located on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Anmer Hall is an 18th century red-brick home situated in the village of Anmer in Norfolk, England.
Gift-giving can be a challenging affair when your nearest and dearest already own priceless jewels, designer clothes and luxury cars. So instead of splashing out on expensive, over-the-top items, the royals don’t take seasonal gifting seriously.
It is well known that the adult members of the Royal Family buy each other jokey presents for Christmas each year, while the children receive normal gifts. From leather toilet seats to singing hamsters and lewd shower caps, there are many examples of unbelievable presents exchanged behind palace walls.
The royals have enjoyed spending Christmas at Sandringham for decades, and after creating so many special memories there with the late Queen, the King seems keen for them to keep making more. “Christmas at Sandringham has been absolutely central to the family for years, and that legacy looks certain to continue with Charles,” says royal expert Duncan Larcombe.
The Royal Family spend the festive period on the Sandringham Estate and enjoy several key traditions. One of these sees the royals follow the customs of their German heritage and open their gifts on Christmas Eve. However, it is clear that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will also be visited by Father Christmas on the main day itself.
While everyone sits down at the dinner table for Christmas dinner, the Royal Family's festivities will look a little different than the average household.
Seasons 5 and 6 of “The Crown.”However, the Netflix royal drama has recently earned criticism for its fictionalized portrayal of the Firm.But West, 54, believes that the Windsors are for all intents and purposes, “public property,” and can be depicted in Hollywood in anyway a filmmaker sees fit.The British actor told BBC Radio 5 Live recently: “I acknowledge that there’s discomfort about it, and I can see why people think that way, and I have persuaded myself that the royal family are public property and therefore, fair game.”“But I’m still uncomfortable with the thought of anyone being fair game or anyone’s private life being made public,” he added.“The Wire” alum noted how he can “understand” why viewers believe that the show is “too close to the actual events.”“The grief is still so real,” he said. “Someone like me can’t turn down a part like Charles.
