Prince Harry And Meghan Markle At Odds With Netflix Over Docuseries Edits?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at odds with Netflix and their production team as they backtracked on what they want to show the public in their forthcoming documentaries. The couple reportedly wants to remove pieces from the documentaries which they have been filming for more than a year now.

A Netflix source said that Harry and Meghan are having second thoughts and are panicked about trying to tone down even the most basic language, though, it’s their own story. The couple significantly requested to remove some contents they have provided which will shelve the project, while the Netflix executives, on the other hand, are in favor of keeping the Sussexes' content as it is.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been wanting to edit the show in the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death on Sept 8, as it’s assumed to have recorded a number of truth bombs involving King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, Page Six reported.

Harry and Meghan reportedly want the show to start in 2023, however, Netflix wanted it to debut after "The Crown" premieres its fifth season on Nov 9. Netflix paid the couple $3 million in a multi-annual production agreement.

Liz Garbus, an American documentary director, and her camera team have been following Harry and Meghan worldwide for the said docuseries. Although Netflix is on the filmmakers' side, the final say on what goes out depends on Harry, Meghan, and the Netflix bigwigs' approval, Marca reported.

Meanwhile, Tom Bower, the author and royal journalist of the book "Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors" said he believed a recently released photograph of Harry and Meghan was designed to send a clear statement to the British Royal Family that their commercial plans were continuing. The photographs taken by Misan Harriman showed the Sussexes stately, holding hands moments before the One Young World summit was scheduled for opening in Manchester.

The event took place days before the Queen’s sudden death. The photographs were released a couple of days after the Palace released a new portrait of King Charles III, his wife Camilla, and the now next-in-line William and his wife, Kate, to emphasize the stability of the line, Yahoo! News reported.
