Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix Series Faces Celebrity and Royal Family Snubs

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix mini-series has hit a roadblock as their celebrity friends and members of the royal family have reportedly chosen not to participate.

According to sources from the Daily Mail, key allies such as Elton John, Vogue editor Edward Enninful, and music producer David Foster, who is considered Prince Harry's surrogate father, have opted out of involvement in the project.

Even former US President Barack Obama and media mogul Oprah Winfrey are said to have snubbed the Sussexes.

The rift between Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes seems to have influenced the absence of any royal figures in the series.

Notably, even Princess Eugenie, the only member of the royal family still on good terms with the Sussexes, is unlikely to make an appearance.

Despite having a good relationship with the couple, Vogue editor Edward Enninful is also not part of the project, as per reports.

Another notable absentee is Sir Elton John, a close friend of the late Princess Diana, who had previously defended the Sussexes.

His husband, David Furnish, who was involved in a shelved project called Pearl, is also not linked to the mini-series.

Additionally, music producer David Foster's spokesperson confirmed his non-involvement in the upcoming show.

Omid Scobie, known for supporting the Sussexes, and royal biographer Tina Brown are also reportedly not associated with the project.

Sources from the US suggest that Oprah Winfrey and the Obamas are cautious about being drawn into what they perceive as a family dispute.

Earl Spencer and his sisters Jane and Sarah are unlikely to make an appearance in the series, according to sources.

Speculations hint at a possible appearance by Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, who has never before spoken on camera.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were reportedly unimpressed by the initial teaser of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix series.

The trailer, which aired during their visit to Boston, is said to have strained already fragile relationships.

The docuseries promises to shed light on the discrimination the couple faced within the palace.

The source reveals that Harry and Meghan aim to share their side of the story, particularly Harry, who is determined to speak out.

Observers noted the strategic timing of the trailer release coinciding with William and Catherine's US trip, suggesting an attempt to overshadow their public engagement.

Royal expert Jonathan Sacondoti criticized the move, emphasizing the Sussexes' eagerness for publicity.

The teaser included a snapshot from the 2020 Commonwealth service attended by both couples, highlighting the tense atmosphere between the brothers.
