The Crown's Dominic West insists he 'loves' King Charles
Daily MailSome believe the latest series of The Crown is a ‘hatchet job’ on King Charles, who is depicted scheming, to try to encourage his mother to abdicate in his favour. Fan: The Crown's Dominic West insists he 'loves' King Charles amid criticism the series embarrasses the monarch He admitted that playing a character means you ‘start falling in love’ with them, ‘and inevitably you take their side or give them the benefit of the doubt’. ‘This period covers a time when he got — not a bad press, but maybe because it was a divorce and there’s always two sides of the divorce, I suppose viewers saw or heard one side or the other.’ He added: ‘Hopefully there’s a bit of perspective now, and I hope everyone gets a fair hearing. I think that’s part of the reason for doing it.’ Under fire: The actor said King Charles had led ‘one of the most scrutinised, publicised lives in the world’ The Crown's creators previously rejected criticism that the hit Netflix drama is 'unkind' to King Charles by recreating 'painful memories' of the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana.
