Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Odds Over Secret Spin-Off Meetings for “The Crown”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly facing a rift over Meghan's secret meetings to pitch a spin-off series of “The Crown” centered around their lives.
The sixth series of the popular Netflix show was released earlier this month, causing the Prince and Princess of Wales to feel violated.
The couple was particularly concerned about the depiction of Princess Diana's death and the portrayal of Kate and Will's blossoming romance during their university days.
Now, it seems Meghan's plans for a spin-off could further aggravate tensions with her in-laws as she seeks to showcase her and Prince Harry's journey after leaving the British monarchy.
Amid their lucrative £80m Netflix deal signed in 2020, Meghan is allegedly considering a secret move to approach the creators of “The Crown” with her idea for a new show.
As the series progresses closer to the present day, Meghan is eager to meet with writer and producer Peter Morgan.
According to Heat magazine, a source revealed that Meghan believes the show is of top quality and thinks Peter would do an incredible job portraying their current lives and charity work.
The insider added that Meghan envisions a gripping story about how they risked everything to make a difference.
While Meghan is enthusiastic about the project, Harry is said to be apprehensive.
The Duke worries that such a venture could invite more scrutiny, similar to their experience of being mocked on South Park.
He feels it is too soon to turn their lives into a movie or TV show, especially considering the personal aspects he disclosed in his book, some of which he now regrets.
The insider concluded that Harry cannot bear any more public humiliation.
However, it is highly doubtful that Peter Morgan would entertain a serious meeting with Harry and Meghan.
The show's creator has expressed reservations about bringing the storyline any closer to real-time events.
Critics argue that this is just another one of Meghan's failed ventures, citing previous disappointments like “Pearl,” “Bodyguard 2,” “The Real Housewives,” the Kardashian collaboration, Audible, and Dior.
Royal commentator Maureen Callaghan has criticized Harry and Meghan for their constant need to be in the spotlight.
She highlighted their desire to overshadow the crown and its associated popularity.
Callaghan wrote that the final season of “The Crown,” which portrays Charles and William with unexpected compassion, has not received the attention it deserves due to Prince Harry's ability to capture the world's attention during Queen Elizabeth's passing.
As Callaghan warns, brace yourself for the forthcoming headline in People magazine on the eve of the sixth series, as it will likely feature an excerpt from the upcoming book “Endgame” by Omid Scobie, a known supporter of Harry and Meghan.
Sussex sources, however, deny any affiliation with Scobie.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry find themselves at odds over Meghan's secret meetings to propose a spin-off series of “The Crown.”
While Meghan sees it as an opportunity to showcase their journey after leaving the British monarchy, Harry fears further scrutiny and public humiliation.
Whether or not their pitch to the creators of “The Crown” will be taken seriously remains uncertain.
Critics doubt its success, while royal commentator Maureen Callaghan criticizes the couple for continuously seeking the spotlight.
As the sixth series of “The Crown” unfolds, only time will tell if Meghan and Harry's story will make its mark on the small screen.
