Crown Who is Tom Durant-Pritchard?

Tom Durant-Pritchard replaced Richard Goulding as Prince Harry in The Windsors.

Durant-Pritchard said: “I am thrilled to be joining The Windsors family… it has been a pleasure playing such a well-loved character.”

Writers Bert Tyler-Moore and George Jeffrie added: “Tom was brilliant and fitted into our Royal Family perfectly.

“Harry’s got plenty on his plate this series – one week he gets mistaken for a brain surgeon and has to perform a highly invasive brain operation. Does he pull it off? You’ll have to tune in

to find out!”

Speaking to Channel 4 Durant-Pritchard explained that in the new series, Harry has left his bad-boy past behind with the new series following Harry and Meghan married life.

He said: “It’s a little bit exciting… so we’ve got Harry and Megan a little further down the line. We’ve got a feud between Harry, Meghan, Wills and Kate and we’ve got the whole storyline

between them, the Fab Four.

“There’s more of Harry and Meghan’s life together.”

He said: “It was wonderful. They’re a lovely family, it’s a real family environment.

“They’re such a great, talented group of comedians and actors. It was wonderful.

“It was one of those ones where before I started I was a bit nervous because it sounds quite daunting.

“But then as soon as I walked through the door everyone was so lovely and so nice to me and made me feel at home immediately.

“All my fears vanished almost immediately. It was great.”

Durant-Pritchard’s credits include The Crown, Endeavour, Taboo and Human Remains.
