If West is cast – which seems highly likely given O’Connor’s comments – the 51-year-old will star opposite Elizabeth Debicki’s Princess Diana. Series five and six will be set in the 1990s and 2000s and are expected to delve into Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s tempestuous marriage and his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. In 1994, Prince Charles publicly admitted to infidelity in a TV interview, while Princess Diana confirmed it in the 1995 Panorama interview, saying: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” Elsewhere in the interview, O’Connor also opened up about the prospect of moving on from the character that has earned him a Golden Globe award.
