With the sixth season of The Crown<\/a> approaching, Dominic West<\/a> has revealed how the publication of Prince Harry\u2019s memoir Spare, released at the start of this year, changed his depiction of Charles in the final season.<\/p>\n

In an interview ahead of the sixth season, conducted in April 2023, West was asked when he is able to let his version of Charles be vulnerable, given that he is known for having a stiff upper lip.<\/p>\n

West said: \u201cAll the time. He is very emotional and he\u2019s got real anger and I think he\u2019s got real sadness to him and real compassion, and so I think he is very emotional, and what\u2019s great about The Crown is that you see these public figures in private and I suspect in private he\u2019s quite emotional, well that\u2019s the way I played him anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then Harry wrote his book and said he never hugged him or anything, so we had to change that slightly. Now I\u2019ve sort of assumed, guessed, that Charles is an emotional and rather open hearted guy in spite of his buttoned up exterior, which he obviously has to have in public.\u201d<\/p>

Earlier this year, when promoting Spare, Prince Harry revealed in an interview with Stephen Colbert that not only does he watch The Crown, but he also fact checks it<\/a> as he does.<\/p>\n

This upcoming season of The Crown is set to be especially emotional, as it dramatises the death of Princess Diana and the subsequent outpouring of grief from the public.<\/p>\n
