The Fallout

West explained that he and Prince Harry didn’t speak much after the incident, leaving fans wondering about the tension between the two.
The Unspoken Words

The tension in the room was palpable as co-star Jonathan Pryce jokingly advised West not to repeat his mistake.
The Revelations
During the interview, West also shed light on the wild celebrations that took place after their successful trek. He described a “two-day bender” with Icelandic truck drivers who had brought potent home brew. The jubilant atmosphere involved copious amounts of liqueur and even champagne being consumed out of prosthetic legs belonging to a service member who had lost his legs in Afghanistan.
Prince Harry’s Role
West commended Prince Harry for his efforts in keeping the team’s spirits up during the grueling journey. The prince shared “filthy” jokes to lighten the mood, earning praise from West for his kindness.
The Reactions
Representatives for Prince Harry and West have remained silent regarding these revelations. However, it’s clear that the aftermath of their South Pole adventure had a lasting impact on their relationship.
An Amusing Encounter
Adding a touch of humor to the interview, Jonathan Pryce, who plays Prince Philip on “The Crown,” shared his own encounter with royalty. He revealed that when he received his knighthood from Princess Anne, he jokingly apologized for playing her father. Princess Anne’s response left Pryce both amused and slightly bewildered.
Although the details of their South Pole adventure remained mostly unknown, the recent interview with West has unveiled a fascinating and unexpected side to the expedition.
