In the latest episodes of Netflix's hit royal drama series The Crown, viewers were able to see a sexually candid portrayal of the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. Dominic West, the actor who plays Prince Harry, mercilessly plays the scene where Prince Harry makes fun of his older brother, Prince William, and the two are ready to go their separate ways after graduating from high school.
In one memorable scene, Prince Harry gave Prince William some "personal protective equipment" as he prepared to go to St Andrews University, and he frowned and said that "accidents happen sometimes". Then, Prince Harry casually insulted Prince William, calling him a "cold eccentric" and emphasizing the dullness of college life.
Prince Harry boldly provokes Prince William in the play, trying to make him relax. He boldly advised Prince William to "have some illegitimate children and change the order of succession." Or swallow some hallucinogenic mushrooms and wrestle with the local savages. "Prince Harry on screen believes that Prince William is too depressed, responsible, and boring. He pleaded with Prince William to "act like everyone else" and stop being so afraid.
These heated conversations have sparked discussions, and many wonder if the degree of creative freedom is exaggerated when portraying the brotherhood. After all, despite rumors that the two real royals have different personalities, most observers believe that Prince William and Prince Harry are close. However, actor Dominic West is a staunch supporter of his bold interpretation, arguing that it adds a layer of compelling drama to the show.
In a recent interview, West gleefully talked about these **sex scenes. "It's so much fun to be able to off Prince William and press his buttons in the role of Prince Harry," he laughs. "These two brothers obviously have very different personalities, and I think it's true that Prince Harry thinks Prince William is too serious at times. Therefore, I enjoyed the opportunity to fully show the tension and sibling rivalry between them. ”
West pointed out that Prince William is a serious, conscientious heir who restrains himself to avoid mistakes, while Prince Harry, as a spare tire, has more freedom to take risks and defy expectations. "Prince Harry can vent some emotions and take life less seriously. I really revealed the dynamics of Prince Harry trying to get Prince William to relax before the brothers each step into a new life, even if it seemed a little ruthless! ”
The actor also defended that the theatrical freedom adopted in the play adds to the complexity and does not deprive the brothers of delicacy. "In essence, Prince William and Prince Harry are clearly very much in love. But like all brothers and sisters, I believe they also have grievances and teasing each other. The show simply exaggerates the real spark to add to the spectacle of their relationship development in the changing roles and responsibilities.
While the clips may seem ** and candid, West says he did draw inspiration from Prince Harry's rebellious past and the unfettered nature of his brother's fame. "As a spare tire rather than an heir, Prince Harry has never been expected to abide by the same strict royal rules as Prince William.
We've all heard stories of him being wilder when he was younger. So I think it's okay to believe in'Real life'Before the responsibilities begin, Prince Harry will tease Prince William to let him relax. ”
Of course, viewers will have to wait and see if the tension between the brothers will persist or develop in future seasons of The Crown.
Whether or not there is a lack of delicacy in these dramatic interpretations, actor Dominic West seems convinced that they add color and complexity rather than weaken the solid bond between the two real princes we know as devoted husbands and fathers.
Only time will tell whether historians and audiences think this energetic friction between Prince William and Prince Harry in their youth is a brilliant theatrical story or superfluous fiction. But one thing is for sure - these scenes have certainly sparked a lively discussion!
