Dominic West (54) and Prince Harry (39) once trudged through Antarctica together for several weeks for a charity event – an experience that brought them together. However, West was apparently unable to get any advice from the royal for his role as Prince Harry’s father Prince Charles (now King Charles III, 75) in the Netflix series “The Crown”. Because around ten years later, the actor no longer has any contact with Prince Harry. West has now revealed this in an interview with the radio station “Times Radio”.

“We lost touch because I said too much in a press conference and we didn’t speak to each other after that,” West suspects. “I think I was asked what we did and how we celebrated when we got there. And I probably said too much.”

West and Prince Harry took part in the charity event “Walking With the Wounded” in December 2013, where they walked more than 200 miles across Antarctica with wounded veterans. In January 2014, they came together for a press conference to share their experiences. West enthused at the time: “Harry was an important part of the team. He’s great.”
