Harry and Meghan Face Setbacks as Netflix Series and Harry’s Memoir Hang in the Balance
Harry and Meghan have encountered a series of setbacks in recent weeks, with their ambitious projects facing uncertain futures.
Reports suggest that their multi-million dollar Netflix docuseries and Harry's highly anticipated memoir are at risk of failing.
Sources claim that the couple is desperate to reshoot their footage and rewrite chapters of the book following the Queen's passing, but both Netflix and Penguin Random House are pushing back.
It appears that these major companies, who have partnered with the Sussexes, are growing impatient and eager to see returns on their investments.
Negotiations have been tough for Harry and Meghan, and they find themselves in a less advantageous position than they had anticipated.
Rumors circulate that Netflix may choose not to air their show at all if it is deemed too diluted, and the same could be true for Harry's memoir.
This entire ordeal has left Harry feeling trapped by his commitments to Meghan and unwanted by his family.
Adding to Harry's woes, his father, King Charles, has set a date for his coronation, which has left the Sussexes unimpressed.
The momentous occasion is scheduled to take place at London's Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6th, coinciding with their son Archie's fourth birthday.
According to a source, Harry and Meghan are disappointed by Charles' decision, as he could have selected any other day for the event.
However, palace insiders reveal that Charles based his choice on important public engagements and appearances, without considering personal birthdays.
Whether this will pose a scheduling conflict for the couple residing in California remains uncertain.
Furthermore, there are doubts as to whether Charles will even extend an invitation to them, as he faces pressure to limit the guest list to core working royals.
In a further blow, a friend of Queen Consort Camilla reportedly stated that the Sussexes will not be welcome at the coronation if Harry's book touches on Camilla.
This source, speaking to the Daily Beast, explains that Charles has dedicated the past two decades to ensuring Camilla's acceptance by the public.
He deeply loves and protects her, and his commitment to her is unwavering.
The Queen herself has come to accept their relationship.
The source suggests that if Harry forces Charles to choose between him and Camilla by criticizing her in the book, Charles would not hesitate to sever ties with his son.
While it may be one thing for Harry to criticize his father, attacking Camilla could lead to irreparable damage.
According to Richard Eden, the diary editor of the Daily Mail, a new chapter in Harry's memoir will provide him an opportunity to respond to stories that offended him during the Queen's funeral.
Speaking on Palace Confidential, Eden reveals that Geoffrey Archer, a well-connected figure in the publishing world, claims that Harry is writing a completely new chapter.
This chapter will address the Queen's funeral and the events surrounding it, allowing Harry to address the stories about his discontent over not being able to wear his uniform and the absence of the ER letters on his epaulets.
This approach could ensure that the tenses align correctly, referring to the Queen in the past while incorporating a new chapter that elegantly addresses these issues.
Consequently, the release of the book may be delayed, possibly to next spring, contrary to previous expectations of a release next month.
