Actor Dominic West has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding in Surrey.

Dominic West, the actor who played Prince Charles in the final two series of Netflix's The Crown, has been banned from driving for six months. The 57-year-old was caught driving at 36mph in a 30mph zone in Reigate, Surrey, in his Volvo XC90. He did not attend proceedings at Guildford Magistrates' Court and indicated a guilty plea through paperwork.

The six-month disqualification followed repeat offences on his driving record. Magistrates ordered West to pay a total of £326 in fines and court costs. It is not clear how many points he already had on his driving licence.

West, who is also known for playing detective Jimmy McNulty in The Wire and Noah Solloway in The Affair, lives near Chippenham in Wiltshire with his wife, landscape and garden designer Catherine FitzGerald, and their family. The couple moved to the area in 2014.
