Over the past couple of seasons, the series has been met by a more mixed critical reception than previous outings, with some critics calling elements of the most recent episodes \u201cclumsy\u201d<\/a> and \u201ccrass\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, Dominic West<\/a>, who has played Charles in seasons 5 and 6, has responded to some of the more negative reviews, saying that he finds them \u201cquite hurtful\u201d.<\/p>\n West said: \u201cI should avoid them [reviews]. When I\u2019m on stage, if it\u2019s a theatre review, I do. But no, with these ones, I tend to read them all as they come out and then go to bed for two days in deep depression.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cIt does affect me. I think it affects all of us. To me, the criticism [that] seems to be most [prominent] is that we\u2019re all a bit bored of this now, and that\u2019s quite hurtful after you put in so much work, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The next run of episodes is set to dramatise the meeting of Prince William<\/a> and Kate Middleton<\/a>, as well as the death of Princess Margaret and the marriage of Charles and Camilla.<\/p>\n![\"Dominic](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/ThCrownTrailerImages1-46b4e43.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"ThCrown_TrailerImages_1\\"\/")
