Thank you.’<\/p>\n Speaking about the Lily scandal in 2024<\/a>, the actor admitted it was ‘deeply stressful’ for his wife and children, though the couple have since found humour in the situation, joking about going out for a ‘show of unity’ in London.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, earlier this year, Dominic admitted his ‘biggest sadness’ is splitting from the mother of his first child.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking\u00a0on the Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth podcast<\/a>, Dominic opened up about the painful split from his former girlfriend Polly Astor, revealing he felt ‘too young’ at 28 to settle down after she gave birth to their daughter, Martha.<\/p>\n The pair put on a united display as they posed for a photo inside the venue after braving the fierce wind to get to the bash<\/p>\n The couple were dressed smartly, with Catherine opting for a crushed velvet blazer, white shirt and trousers, while Dominic rocked a fitted suit<\/p>\n Asked if the end of his relationship with Polly was ‘one of the big sadnesses’ or ‘shames’ of his life, Dominic admitted: ‘I suppose so, yes. I suppose I wish my eldest daughter had had some of the advantages or some of the security that my others have had.’<\/p>\n The Eton-educated actor, who played Prince Charles<\/a> in The Crown<\/a>, explained the relationship came at the wrong time in his life, saying: ‘I think I was too young. I was 28.’<\/p>\n He quickly conceded that 28 was ‘not that young, but I was just leaving drama school and looking towards America and so it came at the wrong time, really.<\/p>\n ‘It was very difficult, that ending.’<\/p>\n Share or comment on this article:![\"Dominic](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/107093593-15641279-image-a-2_1773354812664.jpg\")
