Dominic West confirms that TheCrown will include the infamous Prince Charles' 'Tampongate' phone call with Camilla Parker Bowles.
West, who is playing the younger version of King Charles III in the upcoming seasons 5 of the Netflix show, opened up to about how he felt about the ordeal while confirming to the outlet that the 1993 phone call will make it in the show.
"I remember thinking it was something so sordid and deeply, deeply embarrassing [at the time]," West, 53, told."Looking back on it, and having to play it, what you're conscious of is that the blame was not with these two people, two lovers, who were having a private conversation. What's really [clear now] is how invasive and disgusting was the press's attention to it, that they printed it out verbatim and you could call a number and listen to the actual tape.
The British tabloids would later publish transcripts of the secretly recorded conversations in 1993, at the height of Charles and Princess Diana's hugely publicized separation and subsequent divorce. "When they offered me the role, one of my first questions was -- I say questions; I think it was pretty much a statement -- 'We are not doing the tampon phone call,'" O'Connor, who portrayed young Prince Charles for seasons 3 and 4.
