Dominic West, who vividly portrays Prince Charles, fondly recalls the poignant moment. “After flying to Barcelona for the first shoot of season 6,” West reminisced, “I was met with sombre news at the hotel. An assistant director approached with a heavy heart, saying, ‘Did you hear? The Queen’s unwell.’ Consequently, I remained glued to the news in my room for three days. Feeling the weight of the news, I returned home. Out of reverence, we paused our shooting.“
