What Dominic West said

Speaking to Times Radio, as per a report by US Weekly, Dominic West was asked about his friendship with Prince Harry. He said, “We sort of [lost touch because] I said too much in a press conference, and so, we didn’t speak after that." When pressed by host Kate McCann to elaborate more on this, the actor then added, “I think I was asked what we did. [And] what we did to celebrate when we got there and [I] probably said too much.” He also added that their friendship ended over a decade ago and he wasn’t able to ask Harry for any advice on how to play his father Charles on screen.

The same report suggest that it all began when Dominic West had made some comments at the press conference in 2014, where he was talking one year after their Walking With the Wounded journey. The actor, when asked about the experience during a January 2014 press conference, said that Prince Harry seemed to 'specialize in building latrines.'
