Exclusive: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Highly Anticipated Netflix Documentary Set to Premiere Soon
Industry sources have revealed that the much-anticipated Netflix documentary featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is set to hit screens within weeks.
Despite efforts by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to delay its release to 2023, the streaming giant reportedly paid them a staggering $100 million for the Fly on the Wall series.
Speculation has been rife, with conflicting reports emerging in the US.
While Deadline suggests a potential delay until the New Year due to concerns over backlash from The Crown's fifth season, Page Six asserts that the show will indeed premiere in December, citing a close source to the project.
Insider sources have confirmed that the docuseries is still on track for a later this year debut.
The upcoming documentary has already created a buzz on both sides of the Atlantic and is expected to stir fresh controversy within the royal family.
Notably, Prince Harry is also gearing up for the release of his memoir titled “Spare,” adding to the intrigue surrounding the couple's ventures.
Royal experts suggest that these high-profile projects have further strained relations with King Charles and Prince William, hindering any chances of reconciliation.
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, reports indicated that the Sussexes aimed to tone down references to King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales in their documentary series.
Meghan Markle herself distanced from the project shortly after the Queen's demise, hinting at filmmaker Liz Garbus taking the reins of the narrative.
Expressing trust in Garbus's directorial acumen, Markle emphasized the importance of sharing their story through a different lens, even if it deviates from their original vision.
Liz Garbus, a seasoned documentarian and filmmaker known for her work on acclaimed projects like The Handmaid's Tale, was initially attached to the Duchess series “Pearl” before its cancellation by Netflix.
The Emmy-nominated director's involvement in the upcoming documentary adds a layer of expertise and creativity to the production.
The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's novel, captivated audiences with its dystopian narrative, shedding light on themes of oppression and resistance.
Despite earlier reports suggesting a potential postponement of the Fly on the Wall series due to mounting opposition, recent developments indicate that the documentary will proceed as planned and premiere in December.
The decision to move forward with the launch underscores the resilience and determination of the production team.
As the excitement builds around the upcoming release, viewers eagerly await a glimpse into the inner workings of the royal family through the eyes of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
