Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Docuseries: A Royal Rumble in the Making?
The buzz surrounding Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix docuseries is reaching a fever pitch as fans eagerly await more information.
Set to air on either December 6th or 8th, 2022, this much-anticipated series promises to delve into the couple's romantic journey, which has been nothing short of tumultuous.
Originally titled “Chapters,” sources suggest that the couple has opted for a new name, although Netflix has yet to confirm any details about the project.
Interestingly, Netflix has been rather tight-lipped about the whole affair.
A spokesperson for the streaming giant stated that there is no confirmed documentary involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
This lack of clarity has left royal enthusiasts scratching their heads.
Many are puzzled as to why Netflix isn't promoting the series more vigorously, leading some to speculate that it may be a last-minute release intended to fly under the radar.
Social media users are chiming in with their own theories.
One commenter pointed out Meghan's penchant for manifesting her desires, recalling her previous claims about presenting at the Oscars, which ultimately did not materialize.
This has raised eyebrows regarding her approach to public relations, suggesting that her strategies may not always yield the desired results.
Critics are also questioning the viability of the docuseries itself.
Some believe that Netflix may have reviewed the footage and decided against moving forward with the project, leaving fans wondering if all that will come from this endeavor is Harry's forthcoming book.
The ongoing speculation around the couple's marriage adds another layer to the narrative, particularly in light of recent controversies surrounding Meghan and the Bower biography, which seems to have added stress to their relationship.
Commentators are quick to note that the couple's popularity in the U.S. is not as robust as they might hope.
Many feel that Netflix would typically promote a project with such high-profile figures, especially given the couple's royal background.
The absence of any promotional materials or even a single line confirming an air date has led to widespread skepticism.
Adding to the intrigue, Meghan's public relations tactics have come under fire.
Some believe she is banking on the element of surprise to generate buzz, though past attempts—like her podcast—have failed to make significant waves.
Observers speculate that she may be pressuring Netflix's PR team to align with her vision, further complicating matters.
The implications of this docuseries extend beyond just Harry and Meghan.
According to Daily Mail columnist and royal biographer Robert Hardman, King Charles is reportedly concerned that this project could overshadow his upcoming coronation.
With the royal family already navigating a myriad of challenges, the potential fallout from the Sussexes' endeavors could add to the pressure.
In a recent discussion, Hardman emphasized that King Charles is a diligent worker, likening his approach to handling crises to lessons learned during his time in the navy.
He suggested that while the issues surrounding Harry and Meghan are significant, they will eventually pass, allowing the royal family to focus on the coronation and establish a new order.
Behind the scenes, the production of the docuseries has seen its share of drama.
Initially, Oscar-nominated director Garrett Bradley was brought on board, but reports indicate that creative differences led to her departure.
Insiders claim that disagreements over the show's tone and the couple's reluctance to film at home played a role in this split.
Ultimately, Harry and Meghan's production company has been capturing footage independently, leaving many to wonder what direction the project will take under the guidance of Liz Garbus, who has since been hired to steer the ship.
