Prince William’s discontent with Prince Harry’s involvement with Netflix has reportedly reached new heights, with the Duke of Cambridge allegedly feeling that the royal family has been ruthlessly exploited by the streaming giant. According to a source cited by The Daily Beast, William is not pleased with Harry’s partnership with Netflix.
Harry and Meghan Markle’s multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix has been a subject of controversy and debate. The streaming platform is set to release the final season of “The Crown,” which has further fueled the fire.
“William is angry about a lot of things in connection with Harry. His decision to work with Netflix, who have ruthlessly exploited the family, is certainly one of them. It’s incredibly hurtful to have his mother exploited over and over again in this tawdry fashion by Netflix. He won’t watch it, but he will be totally sickened by it,” the source revealed.
The inclusion of Princess Diana in the upcoming season of “The Crown” has added another layer of complexity to the situation. The Netflix series has been known for its dramatic portrayal of historical events and figures, and its depiction of Princess Diana as a ghost has raised eyebrows and concerns within the royal family.
Netflix recently unveiled the first images of “The Crown” Season 6, with Part 1 premiering on Nov. 16 and Part 2 on Dec. 14. This season will delve into the late 1990s, spotlighting Princess Diana’s romance and her tragic car crash with Dodi Fayed.
The logline for Season 6 reads: “Prince William tries to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother’s death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion. As she reaches her Golden Jubilee, the Queen reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new Royal fairytale in William and Kate.”
Season 6 will also depict the lives of Prince William and Prince Harry as they grow up, facing the challenges and responsibilities that come with their royal status. Notably, the series has cast Rufus Kampa as Prince William in Part 1 and Ed McVey in Part 2, while Prince Harry is portrayed by Fflyn Edwards in Part 1 and Luther Ford in Part 2. Meg Bellamy will take on the role of Kate Middleton.
The inclusion of Princess Diana as a ghost in the series has drawn mixed reactions, with some seeing it as a poignant tribute, while others consider it a controversial move. It’s no surprise that Prince William, who is particularly protective of his mother’s legacy, is reportedly not pleased with this portrayal in the show.
As the Netflix series continues to generate discussion and debate, the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry remains under the spotlight, with their differing paths and choices causing tensions within the royal family. The Netflix deal and the depiction of their late mother in “The Crown” have become additional sources of friction between the two brothers.
