“I’m a big fan of Prince Charles, as he was. I didn’t want to do anything to upset his mission.”‘The Crown’ Star Dominic West Says Camilla Referred To Him As ‘Your Majesty’
He shares, “The trouble was Diana was such a superstar. She’s got such star quality that he doesn’t have, and thank God, because their job is quite boring.” West goes on, “We’re finding it now with our prime ministers, and you with your presidents: It’s exhausting having a high-octane leader who’s very media savvy. We long for the rather boring, sensible ones who are functionaries who get on with the job.”
He also talks about how “The Crown” paused production after the Queen’s death on September 8. The break enabled him to watch the TV coverage from around the world while holed up in his hotel room. West recalls, “It was poignant and, in some ways, sad. But in most ways, I think it was such an amazing life and such an amazing death, really, that it didn’t feel very sad.”
