The Wire and The Affair actor Dominic West is in talks with Left Bank Pictures and Netflix over starring as Prince Charles in Season 5 and 6 of smash-hit royal drama The Crown.
Sources confirmed to Deadline that West has been lined-up for the role, but a deal is not yet done. It caps a frantic few days for the married actor, who has made front-page news in the UK after intimate photographs of him and his The Pursuit of Love co-star Lily James were published last week.
In something of an irony, West would be playing Prince Charles at a time when it was revealed that he was having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles while married to Princess Diana. Parker Bowles is now Charles’ second wife.
