The controversial fly-on-the-wall documentary series featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for Netflix has been postponed until next year, following the widespread backlash over The Crown.
Harry and Meghan had been working on the series as part of their rumoured $100 million (£88million) deal with the streaming giant. But with The Crown accused of fabricating a ‘hurtful’ smear against King Charles by depicting him secretly plotting to oust the Queen, Netflix has now pushed it back.
The documentary had been expected in December, following the fifth season of The Crown. A source told Hollywood news website Deadline: ‘They’re rattled at Netflix, and they blinked first and decided to postpone the documentary.’
The decision to halt the documentary series comes just weeks after the Sussexes were reportedly ‘at odds’ with the production staff about making ‘extensive edits’.

$100 MILLION ???????
WHY ?????
It’s a “documentary” with a “’fictitious’ plot?”
I guess they didn’t care about The Crown’s smears against Thatcher.
For people who want to disassociate from the royals they sure cash in on the association a lot.
New York Post claims otherwise:

Dissing Chuckie Three is bound to be a bad career move.
What the hell?? First the scumbag Obama’s got a $$$ millions no-show job from Nitwitflixs, and now these a-holes? Thank God I never subscribed.
Fly? Yes, but not on the wall.
The road apple doesn’t fall far from the horse’s arse...
...and the flies don’t settle far from the steamin’ pile.
CANCEL it already.
This has become a potential movie-in-a movie. First they create this fanciful reality production, then the Terrible Two spend the second half of the film trying to extinguish the fire they themselves have started.
If Harry succeeds in killing both projects, the Netflix series and the book, it would be funny if Charles decides hes still not going to bestow royal titles onto their two children because both Camilla and William dont want it to happen.
The fact we are flying through infinite time and space on a rock with a very short window of time to focus on what matters seems lost on these people.
£88m? heck, i'll do it for only £1m ... here's a sample:
I’m really surprised that any big money Hollywood types who might produce such a fascinating (not) spectacular thought this tripe would have anything more then 2-3 episodes in it. Without some sort of mega-enhancement, I don’t think the potential US audience for Harry & Meghan gives a crap. The hunt for content must really be desperate.
WHY ?????
They gave the Obamas $140 million, didn't they?
They certainly have a lot of $$ to piss away on empty-headed leftists.
Harry and Megs cashed in on a content provider that morphed way ahead from its original function, to provide affordable entertainment rentals thru the mail for people who couldn’t get to the video store.
It’s good to be king, but not to have a king.
