Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, has said he rejected The Crown’s request to film at his family home of Althorp.
“Actually, to be honest, I don’t watch The Crown so I just said: ‘Thank you but no thank you.’”
Speaking to BBC Breakfast at his family estate in West Northamptonshire, Earl Spencer said he had declined when producers of The Crown asked to film on the site.
The Wire star West takes over the role of Charles from Josh O’Connor, while The Night Manager actress Debicki will replace Emma Corrin.
