Netflix Standoff: Sussex No Future as Archwell Team Takes Side Against Harry and Meghan

The highly anticipated documentary series by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, produced under their own Archwell production team, has hit a roadblock as their own team sides with Netflix against the couple.

The Sussexes had expressed their desire to make cuts and re-edit the series following the Queen's passing, but Netflix has strongly opposed these changes.

According to US-based Raw commentator Kinsey Schofield, the producers hired by Harry and Meghan have taken Netflix's side in this standoff.

Despite reports of potential delays, Schofield believes that the show will eventually be released on the streaming platform.

Netflix, who have heavily invested in the Sussexes for this project, are adamant about its release.

While Harry and Meghan may not be entirely satisfied with the final product, it is expected to make its way to the streaming platform.

Schofield expressed Netflix's frustration, questioning the purpose of their substantial investment if the documentary were to be watered down.

She also highlighted the role of Archwell, the couple's own production company, which is partnering with Netflix against Harry and Meghan.

In a lighthearted remark, she joked that the producers might find themselves out of a job for going against their bosses.

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex has been cautioned about her approach to Hollywood, particularly her criticism of iconic movies based on modern values.

This could have negative consequences for her and Prince Harry's TV and film production company.

By antagonizing studios, they risk damaging potential business opportunities.

It is important for Meghan to tread carefully to avoid any disastrous outcomes for their company.

The recent passing of the Queen has further complicated matters for the couple's upcoming documentary.

Some sources claim that out of respect for the monarch, Harry and Meghan have decided to tone down the language used in the film.

However, royal editor Hannah Furniss suggests that the absence of the Queen as a figure of authority may lead the Sussexes to be more candid in their portrayal.

The Queen's state funeral, which was meant to bring reconciliation between Meghan, Harry, and the royal family, seems to have further fueled tensions.

Furniss notes that the documentary is not intended to be a reality TV show or a fly-on-the-wall account of their life in California.

Rather, it is an opportunity for the couple to control their own narrative, aligning with Prince Harry's long-held dream of setting up his own newspaper to share his truth about the royal family.

However, the Queen's passing has presented challenges in determining the appropriate level of candor for the documentary.

Miss Furniss suggests that finding the right balance is crucial.

Despite these obstacles, the anticipation surrounding the release of the documentary remains high.

Viewers eagerly await its arrival on Netflix, where it is expected to make a significant impact.
