Luther Ford has played Prince Harry. He’s played a psychopath, courtesy of Netflix’s Black Doves. And now, he tells me, he’s set to play “a child. A boy.

It’s a family saga in which Ford, 25, plays Tostig Godwinson, the youngest brother of Harold. Yes, the one who died in the Battle of Hastings with an arrow in his eye — and the show itself tells the story of the years leading up to the battle. “It’s incredibly epic and there are lots of characters and storylines,” he says.
