Why Meghan and Harry's hotly anticipated Netflix docu-series could be ‘shelved indefinitely'
Meghan and Harry’s Netflix docu-series could be 'shelved' by the streaming platform as sources claim the couple are pushing for major changes


In the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Meghan and Harry’s Netflix docu-series could reportedly face major changes and delays.
- Despite being earmarked for release in December 2022, Prince Harry and Meghan’s long-awaited series could be set to be 'shelved'.
- The couple are apparently ‘panicked’ over the docu-series tone and are said to be pushing for edits to ensure it is respectful.
- This royal news comes after it was revealed that King Charles is ‘set to pay rent’ to Prince William since taking the throne.
After signing their multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, Prince Harry and Meghan’s docu-series was scheduled for release in December. However, reports now suggest that the project could be shelved ‘indefinitely’ as the couple are pushing to make extensive changes.
The anticipated series was set to air following the release of The Crown season five, but now, just months before the prospective release date, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be having ‘second thoughts' over its contents.
Sources claim that the couple is trying to 'walk back content' in the wake of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II’s death to ensure the tone is respectful.
Page Six has reported that the documentary is thought to contain ‘truth bombs’ involving King Charles, the Queen Consort and even the Prince and Princess of Wales - with one source claiming, “Harry and Meghan are having second thoughts on their own story, on their own project."
Another also claimed that, "Harry and Meghan are panicked about trying to tone down even the most basic language. But it’s their story, from their own mouths.”
The publication also cited a Netflix source who alleged, “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,” before adding, “Netflix is standing by the filmmakers.”

The insider then also remarked, “Netflix has made it clear that the project is going forward."
So far there has been little confirmation about the project, though Meghan did let slip in her viral interview with the Cut, that it will document their ‘love story.’
This development also follows reports that Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir is also facing delays, with Harry requesting ‘last minute changes’ following the passing of his grandmother, the Queen - after concerns that its contents could be deemed ‘insensitive.’
As of yet, there is no official release date for Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series.
