"We sort of, no, I said too much in a press conference," West, 54, told Times Radio presenter Kate McCann after she asked if he had gotten Harry’s take on West’s portrayal of his father, King Charles III, on the Netflix show.
"You must still have his number though, surely," McCann asked after West explained that their trek to the South Pole was 10 years ago.

"Most of us, Harry included, just went on a two-day bender with the Icelandic truck drivers who had brought some lethal home brew with them," he said of their celebrations during the Walking With the Wounded charity trek in December 2013, according to ABC News.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pryce told McCann that when he received his knighthood from Princess Anne he apologized for playing her father.
"She put the sword lightly on the shoulder, and I stood up and I said, thinking she was thinking, you know, I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know what to say to you. Um, sorry?' And she said, ‘Why? It’s done now.’"
