The Crown's newest series focuses on the decline of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana, and the time his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles became public knowledge.

During the interview, Dominic told Jimmy that for Charles the era was 'the lowest point of his life.'

Jimmy asked: 'Does that make you at all nervous seeing as he could have you beheaded if he wants to, he's the king.'

Dominic replied: 'Right, yeah, well, no he can't. I mean, they've sort of tried. They're having a go. This was his sort of nadir of his whole life. 

'You see pictures of him then and video and stuff and he's very, very sad and that's quite a responsibility taking that on.'

Dominic then went onto detail his process for recreating the famous moment Charles showed off his breakdancing skills at a charity event in 1985.
