#’The Crown’ casts Dominic West as Prince Charles for Seasons 5, 6

“The Crown” has found its Prince Charles for its final stretch: Dominic West.

West, 51, is best known for “The Wire” and for Showtime’s “The Affair” — not to mention, his recent real-life alleged affair with Lily James, 31, and his bizarre headline-grabbing response to it alongside his wife Catherine FitzGerald.

In the ultimate irony considering his recent alleged behavior, West will play Prince Charles as the series depicts the royal’s own infidelity and its impact on his tumultuous relationship with Princess Diana, who will be played by newcomer Emma Corrin, 24, in the show’s upcoming fourth season.

Netflix’s hit historical drama — which follows the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the history of the British royal family from the 1940s up to the recent past — has cast various actors in its primary roles as characters age. It recently added actor Jonathan Pryce to portray its oldest version of Prince Philip (after Matt Smith, 37, played the youngest version of the character in Seasons 1 and 2, and Tobias Menzies, 46, took over for Philip’s middle years in Seasons 3 and 4). Before West, Prince Charles was played by Josh O’Connor, 30.

West will reportedly join the show for its fifth and sixth seasons, and the show is set to conclude with Season 6.

Season 4 of “The Crown” premieres Nov. 15 on Netflix.
