Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Probably Not Going To Star In A Netflix Reality Show Despite Reports To The Contrary
Even though it would be a sure-fire hit, Netflix probably won’t be getting a reality show called The Secret to Sussex or similarly pun-titled show despite reports to the contrary. According to Page Six, The Sun ran with a report that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had agreed to participate in a “fly-on-the-wall reality show” as part of their big Netflix deal. That news, of course, sent their detractors into a tizzy. However, a spokesperson for the couple insists that “The duke and duchess are not taking part in any reality shows,” dashing all hope for a competition show called The Sweet Smell of Sussex where contestants have to guess if it’s Harry, Meghan, or Archie’s underwear/diaper they’re sniffing.
Page Six reports:
We’ll soon be keeping up with the Sussexes.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly agreed to film a fly-on-the-wall reality show — but the couple is now being slammed as “hypocritical” given their repeated demands for privacy.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were initially expected to only remain behind the camera for their multi-year deal with Netflix — but a source told The Sun that Markle wants the world to see the “real her.”
The pair will allow Netflix cameras to follow them for three months in a “tasteful” docuseries as they go about their new life in ritzy Montecito, California, according to the UK paper.
When Meghan and Harry’s Netflix deal was announced earlier this month, we were only told that they would be working on “documentaries, feature films, scripted television shows and children’s series.” Meghan and Harry themselves said they were intent on “creating content that informs but also gives hope” and that their focus would be on “inspirational family programming.” So a reality show where we get to see the inside of Meghan’s closet totally fits that criteria. But The Sun source suggests that us getting a peek inside Harry’s Khaki Korner is Netflix’s idea.
“They may have had all these lofty ideas about producing epics highlighting environmental causes and the poverty gap, but Netflix obviously wants their pound of flesh,” one source told The Sun.
The news had “royal watchers” up in coats of arms screaming “hypocrisy thy name is Meghan,” none more vehemently than Piers Fucking Morgan.
“At what point does the penny drop that she came over here, took our prince and now Mrs. Privacy is making a $150 million (dollars) fly on the wall documentary where every part of their lives is going to be filmed?” he asked on the show.
Hey, you ding-dong. Maybe the fly is the subject, did you ever think about that? Since they won’t tell us exactly what they’re working on other than “an innovative nature docu-series and an animated series that celebrates inspiring women,” as Netflix previously confirmed, then a nature docuseries called The Walls Have Flies is not out of the question!
