Harry has reportedly not spoken to The Crown star since he made the claims in 2014, according to the .

Speaking in 2022, a pal of West's said: "He accused Dominic of invading his privacy. Dominic told him not to be ridiculous.

"They haven't spoken since."

West's anecdotes relate to a 2013 trek to the South Pole the pair did in aid of veterans' charity Walking for the Wounded.

Speaking a year later at a press conference, West alleged he and Harry toasted their 208-mile trek success by supping bubbly from a fellow trekker's artificial leg.

He revealed: "Two of the Aussie guys stripped naked and ran round the pole but 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.

"There was a lot of liqueur drunk. We all drank champagne out of [one of the team's] favourite prosthetic legs."

The actor, now 54, also claimed the then 29-year-old Prince made "eye-wateringly rude jokes" on the trip.

But he praised him as a "really cool guy" and said he'd play a crucial role in the Commonwealth in years to come.

Sources claim Harry, now 39, was so enraged by the comments he not only cut ties with West but allegedly dislikes anyone who is friends with him.

West, who plays King Charles in The Crown, has said of their shattered friendship: "We sort of [lost touch because] I said too much in a press conference, and so, we didn't speak after that."

He admitted in a later interview he "probably said too much" about their trek celebrations.

Dominic West and Prince Harry have been approached for comment.
