“They’ve been saying that you’re too handsome to play Prince Charles and I think that’s true,” Jimmy joked to Dominic.

“Well thank you very much. I’ve had worse criticisms,” Dominic responded.

Jimmy then added that Dominic is “more Prince Charming than Charles.”

Dominic went on to say that on the show he’s portraying Charles at what was one of the lowest points in the now-king’s life.

“Does that make you at all nervous seeing as he could have you beheaded if he wants to, he’s the king,” Jimmy joked.

“Right, yeah, well, no he can’t,” Dominic responded. “I mean, they’ve sort of tried. They’re having a go. This was his sort of nadir of his whole life. You see pictures of him then and video and stuff and he’s very, very sad and that’s quite a responsibility taking that on.”

Here’s how King Charles reportedly feels about Dominic‘s portrayal of him.
