Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s New Reality Show
There has been no confirmation as to when the show will appear on the platform. Royal Reporter Omid Scobie confirms the couple’s deal in his tweet. He also added that the only shows in development for the couple “are the ones we have previously confirmed”. This includes a nature documentary series and an animated series celebrating inspiring women.
The couple said that they intended to “creating content that informs but also gives hope” and that the showrunner Netflix’s “unprecedented reach will help us share impactful content that unlocks action”. Since their resentment from the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been actively participating in charity works. They are continuing this even with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
What to Expect?
They have been also encouraging Americans to register for the vote which is about to take place in November. Norman Baker, former government minister, does not seem to be happy with their decision. He accused them of exploiting their Royal Family connections.
In an interview given to “Good Morning Britain” on Monday, he said. “Let’s be frank about this. Netflix wouldn’t be offering a huge deal to Harry because of his interesting view.” Also, the added, “They are offering him the deal because of his connections with the royal family, which he, therefore, is exploiting.” Piers Morgan, former host of America’s Got Talent charged directly at Meghan Markle.
“At what point does the penny drop that she comes over here, took our prince and now Mrs Privacy is making a $150 million fly on the wall documentary where every part of their lives is going to be filmed?” Meghan, who had been a part of the famous American series Suits, have no intention to return to full time acting other than the aforesaid reality show. She had made that clear earlier this month.
