Prince Harry is renowned for his royal connections and associated controversies. However, his marriage to Meghan Markle, the Suits star, deepens his connection to Tinseltown in ways that go beyond appearances. However, unlike the frequent disputes surrounding the Sussex couple that never dwindles, the Duke's once-strong bond with Dominic West has faded. According to a resurfaced revelation from West, their relationship deteriorated to the point of no longer being on speaking terms.

While the Duke's estrangement from his father, King Charles, is widely known, his fractured relationship with his on-screen father from The Crown raises questions about his ties to the entertainment world.

In a 2023 interview with Times Radio from December, highlighted recently by the Mirror, The Crown actor Dominic West revealed he and Prince Harry do not communicate anymore. Reflecting on their joint charity trek to Antarctica in 2013 for Walking with the Wounded, which aids injured former British Armed Forces members, West was asked about their current relationship. He admitted that he no longer has Prince Harry's contact details because he allegedly "said too much" at a press conference.

Following their shared trip, West had reportedly shared more details than intended about their celebration, which apparently upset the Duke. According to a friend who spoke to the Daily Mail in 2022, Prince Harry had a strong reaction to the press conference, accusing West of invading his privacy. While West found these accusations somewhat "ridiculous," the friend confirmed that the actor and the Duke have not been in touch since.

The source of the rift between them dates back to a 2014 revelation by West, in which he mentioned an unusual talent of the Prince.

During a 2014 press conference, Dominic West shared some anecdotes about his charitable trip to the South Pole with Prince Harry, which led to their falling out. While West described Prince Harry as a “fantastically nice chap,” he also disclosed some offbeat behavior, including an unusual skill the Prince displayed: constructing toilets during their expedition, with each one taking about 45 minutes to build.

West also recalled an incident where the Duke allegedly drank champagne from Duncan Slater’s prosthetic leg after the marathon polar challenge concluded. He mentioned that the Duke shared some shocking “filthy jokes” while also acknowledging his supportive role during the trip. Although the Prince's positive contributions were highlighted, the fallout from these revelations overshadowed the goodwill, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.
