He used those words as the caption for the post as well. “‘Doesn't hurt to try.' Wise words.”
The Instagram post also includes his photo and the real Prince Harry from a newsreel that says, “The Crown's teen Prince Harry actor revealed as cast film Queen Mother's funeral scenes.”
There's also a photo of him hanging out on a patio without his shirt on. Also, there's one of him looking up at a billboard for The Crown, which looks like it's from a studio lot. He's also holding hands with someone.
The Crown's final season is streaming now on Netflix. It features Prince William (Ed McVey) and Prince Harry as they become the poster children for royalty. Also, it depicts Diana's death (played by Elizabeth Debicki) and much more.
It's a good thing Luther Ford looked at that text message and clicked the link. His career is thankful.
