Josh O’Connor, who stars as Prince Charles in “The Crown,” has a new perspective on the real-life royal. The heir to the British throne's doomed marriage to Princess Diana is set to be a key component of the Netflix show’s fourth season. “We all have a set position on the dynamic between Charles and Diana,” the English actor told Screen International, as reported by People magazine on Wednesday. “It’s been great to have the ability to either fight against that or at times, acknowledge it and also to challenge any question of, ‘Did he ever love her?’” “Personally I think he must have done,” continued the 30-year-old. “There’s a wealth of layers and richness to Charles and Diana, and I loved seeking that out.” PRINCE WILLIAM 'IS IN NO RUSH TO BE THE KING,' WON'T BYPASS CHARLES FOR THE...
