The new series about the royal couple was reportedly in the works as part of their Archewell Productions partnership with the streaming powerhouse.

Conflicting Release Goals

“They’ve made significant requests to walk back content they themselves have provided — to the extent that some Netflix staff believe, if granted, it will effectively shelve the project indefinitely,” a Netflix source told the outlet. “Netflix is standing by the filmmakers.”
