Prince Harry’s former friend and star of The Crown, Dominic West, revealed that he and the Duke are no longer on speaking terms after he “said too much” during an interview.
The pair became close during the charity event Walking With the Wounded in 2013, where they embarked on an adventurous journey through Antarctica with injured military veterans.
During a press ‘welcome home’ press conference, West praised Harry for his skills that helped out the team on the trip.
He described the US-based royal as a ” really cool guy” who was “very much part of the team”.
Praising the Duke further, the actor who plays King Charles in the hit Netflix show, said: “He [Harrry] would often reach the meeting point before the rest of his men and would build these incredibly lavish, castellated latrines, with battlements and loo roll holders.

“It must have taken him 40 minutes at least to build, they were just fabulous. I would often sit on the latrine thinking ‘this is a royal flush in every way.
“Harry also massively helped me out when I was struggling with my skis at first. He was a great guy.”
But when asked how the team celebrated upon reaching the South Pole, that’s when West slipped up and divulged “too much” information about the royal.
He said: “Two of the Aussie guys stripped naked and ran round the pole but most of us, Harry included, just went on a two-day bender with the Icelandic truck drivers who had brought some lethal home brew with them.
“There was a lot of liqueur drunk. We all drank champagne out of Duncan’s (Slater, a double amputee injured in Afghanistan in 2009, who was on the British team) favourite prosthetic legs.”
West went on: “Well he told some eye-wateringly rude jokes which for a non-soldier like me was pretty shocking.”
Speaking to Times Radio on Sunday, West said: “We sort of [lost touch because] I said too much in a press conference, and so, we didn’t speak after that.
“I think I was asked what we did. [And] what we did to celebrate when we got there and [I] probably said too much.”
