“But this is a really worrying sign about what will be in Harry’s book because the fact that they have accepted this award says, ‘We don’t give a damn’. I actually think now they’re moving towards wanting to bring down the Royal Family,” GB News’ Dan Wootton said.
Royal author Tom Bower agreed with Wootton and believed this was just the beginning of the smear campaign. “So, there’s a whole campaign on the way. This is just the curtain raiser to Meghan the great campaigner, “Bower explained. “It’s really quite ugly, and in the middle, absolutely defenseless, is the British Royal Family and Britain’s reputation abroad.”
Netflix Drops Docuseries On December 8
Page Six reported that Netflix would drop the docuseries on Thursday, December 8. However, Deadline said that Netflix was so rattled by the viewer backlash of The Crown that they postponed Prince Harry and Meghan’s docuseries’ release until early 2023, just before Harry’s book’s release.
“It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it,” Meghan Markle explained. “But that’s not why we’re telling it. We trust our story to someone else, meaning it will go through their lens.”

Harry and Meghan hired Oscar-nominated director Garrett Bradley to work on their docuseries. However, they had a falling out when the director didn’t “see” Meghan’s vision for their series.
Meghan Hired Liz Garbus
The Sussexes reportedly fought their Netflix team about the footage in the series. They wanted the production to cut out large amounts of footage they deemed unnecessary for the public to see.
Garrett wanted Harry and Meghan to film at home, but they were uncomfortable doing that. There were a few sticky moments between them, and Garrett left the project. Harry and Meghan’s own production company captured as much footage as they could before Liz Garbus was hired,” a source close to Harry and Meghan explained.
