Jonathan Pryce has admitted that he apologised to Princess Anne for playing her father on The Crown while in the middle of receiving his knighthood.

The actor stars as the late Prince Philip in seasons five and six of Netflix’s royal drama, which came to an end earlier this month as the second half of season six arrived on the streamer.

Before he, Pryce met many members of the royal family. He received a CBE in 2009, and was knighted by Princess Anne in 2021.
