Royal Family Is 'Hiding Behind Sofas' As They're Worried About Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's Netflix Docuseries

It looks like the royal family is not looking forward to whenever Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix documentary come out.
“But the one big revelation — we were debating this yesterday, the will they, won’t they appear in this Netflix drama — is that she has dropped the bomb. This is happening. It is all happening. I imagine the Royal Family will be hiding behind the sofas waiting for this one,” Russell Myers told The Express.
As The Royal Observer previously reported, the 41-year-old former actress got candid about the series, which has yet to debut on the big streamer.
“It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it,” she told Variety.
“But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens," she added of director Liz Garbus' vision.
It seems like the pair, who moved to California in 2020, are meeting the brood halfway.
“They’ve both agreed to reach a neutral ground by softening the parts on Charles and adding intimate details about [Queen Elizabeth II's] legacy,” an insider told Us Weekly.
“He’s so grateful to Meghan for her input and they make all of these big decisions together, so of course there’s that balancing act of weighing up pros and cons to consider,” the insider noted of Harry's tome. “And it goes the other way, too — he’s equally involved in her big picture, they’re very much at one that way and maintain they always will be.”
It seems like Harry has put a lot of thought into what he's going to say in his book.
"Jeffrey Archer, well-connected in the published world is saying that Harry is writing a new chapter completely," the Daily Mail's Richard Eden shared. "We've had all these stories about whether the book will be delayed or whether there will be changes. From what he was saying, it will be dealt with by a new chapter that will be on the Queen's funeral and the events surrounding it. It will give him a chance to address those stories about him being offended by not being able to wear his uniform and then not having the ER letters on his epaulettes."
