Harry & Meghan's 'panic' over TV show

T he Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be at loggerheads with Netflix over their documentary series – with rumours in the US claiming bosses are refusing their requests to “tone down” some of its content.

According to website Page SIx, Prince Harry and wife Meghan had “second thoughts” about the show following Queen Elizabeth’s death and are now “panicked”.

The series, described as an “at home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex”, has been in production for almost a year, with them letting cameras follow them around.

It covers events including their trip to the Netherlands for Harry’s Invictus Games in April and a visit to New York last year. Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, have also allowed intimate filming at their home in Montecito, California.

However, following the death of Harry’s grandmother last month, reports emerged that the Sussexes allegedly wanted to cut some footage. Sources claimed they hoped to take out or at least downplay some of the things they have said.

But now, it’s claimed streaming giant Netflix, which wanted to launch the series at the same time as the new season of The Crown in November, is pushing back. “Netflix has made it clear that the project is going forward,” a source at Netflix claimed to website Page Six. “Harry and Meghan are having second thoughts on their own story, on their own project.”
