Dominic West has revealed he would love to play the role of the King’s great-great grandfather.
The Crown actor, 54, starred as King Charles in the final series of the hit Netflix at the end of last year and has now had to say goodbye to the character.
He has now told how he would take on the role of Edward VII – the King’s great-great grandfather – in the unlikely case The Crown were to go back deeper into history for any other series.
Speaking to The Mirror at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday he joked it was hard going back to his real life as a non-royal now the show has ended.
He said: ‘It is not easy. You get used to people bowing to you, and then you go home and your kids, no one’s bowing anymore. It’s not an easy thing to give up. I’m going to miss him.’

Later in the interview when asked if his role as Charles would ever be reprised, West said: ‘I don’t think Peter (Morgan) will do that.
‘We can’t get too close to the present day. I think he’s more likely to go back to someone like Edward VII. God, I’d love to play him!’
It comes as Dominic shared a rare snap with wife Catherine FitzGerald ahead of his red carpet appearance at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
The British star and landscape designer, 53, put on a cosy display in their home of Giln Castle, Ireland, four years after their relationship was rocked by a scandal.
Dominic cut a casual figure in a vest which he layered over a plaid shirt while sharing a giggle with his wife of 14-years.
Meanwhile Catherine looked stylish in a burgundy blouse and skirt as she cuddled up to her spouse for the snap.
The post from the castle’s official Instagram account paid reference to Dominic’s Best Actor nomination as Prince Charles in The Crown, which he ended up losing to Succession’s Kieran Culkin.
Captioning the snap: ‘Dominic at home in the drawing [room] of his own castle with Catherine’ before adding ‘The Crown – nominee’.

The couple previously rescued Glin Castle from being sold after it was in the family for 700 years, and made it into a viable business as a hotel which welcomes guests.
In the happy snap, the couple appeared world’s away from the drama which followed them following Dominic’s romantic getaway to Italy with co-star Lily James, 34.
Dominic surprised onlookers when he was pictured passionately kissing actress Lily James during a romantic, mid-pandemic break in Rome back in 2020, shortly after international travel restrictions were lifted.
The couple didn’t seem to mind who saw them as they cuddled up to one another and shared a ride on a scooter while taking in the sights throughout the day.
The actor was still married to Catherine and no split had been publicly announced – but he was not wearing his wedding ring.
MailOnline contacted the couples reps for comment at the time.
Months after the Rome scandal, Catherine revealed she was trying to convince the beleaguered actor to move to her family seat in Ireland.

Speaking in the March 2021 issue of Tatler, the designer said she would like to live full-time at Glin Castle, which sits on a 400-acre estate.
‘I can’t persuade Dominic to move their altogether yet, but I’m working on it,’ she told the magazine.
The landscape gardener is the eldest child of Desmond FitzGerald, the 29th Knight of Glin, who died in 2011 with no son to inherit his title.
‘The title can skip a generation and my son [Senan] could be the next Knight of Glin,’ FitzGerald explained. ‘But he’s just mad into football.’
