Prince William and Kate Middleton Actively ‘Avoiding’ New Netflix Series ‘Harry & Meghan’

Britain’s Prince William and Britain’s Prince Harry walk beside each other after viewing the floral tributes for the late Queen Elizabeth II outside Windsor CastleMary Manley“They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” alleged Harry in the docuseries about William, Prince of Wales. The new Netflix series in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were paid a reported £112 million for has received mixed reviews, despite being the streaming service’s highest-viewed documentary ever.A source from Buckingham Palace revealed to US media on Wednesday that the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, are actively “avoiding the series,” and are instead having aides watch the show.“It will take a long time before there is harmony between the brothers,” the source said. “There is a lot of anger there.”The source added that King Charles III is open to reconciling with his youngest son and would “certainly rescue the situation if he could. He would love this to stop.”The series, “Harry & Meghan,” is a £112 million deal between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Netflix that documents the couples’ departure from their position as working senior royal members in 2020 and some of the fallout thereafter. But, as TV critic Daniel D’Addario writes, the show is only a surprise for viewers in the fact that it illustrates “how narrow their vision of their fame is, how pinched and unimaginative their presence on the world stage has become.”
