Netflix Reportedly Putting the Screws on Prince Harry after He’s Backing Out of Royal Family Deal, Want Him to Attend King Charles Coronation Even If It Makes Him Uncomfortable
King Charles III’s coronation is objectively one of the most historic events slated to take place this year. But what has now become a somewhat bigger subject of speculation than the coronation itself is whether his younger son, Prince Harry will be in attendance or not. The 38-year-old has had tense relations with his family pertaining to the dynamics between his wife, Meghan Markle, and the royals, who allegedly never accepted their daughter-in-law. The duke and duchess of Sussex infamously left the royal family back in 2020 and have engaged in several bombshell revelations targeting the British royals as the villains, with Prince Harry’s memoir Spare being the latest smear attack.
Tensions are high between the Sussexes and the royal family
The duke and duchess of Sussex have made it almost clear that they have next to no intention of attending King Charles’ coronation on May 6, 2023, which happens to coincide with their son, Archie’s 4th birthday.
With the tensions that their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, and now Prince Harry‘s memoir Spare has created, it’s hard to say if the couple would even be welcome at the royal premises. Reports suggested that the royal family was rather scared of the revelations that the 38-year-old would make in his bombshell book, and all their fears were realized with its release in January. It made several allegations against his family, even accusing his brother, Prince William of being violent.
Netflix execs are coaxing Prince Harry to attend King Charles’ coronation for the sake of “amazing television”
Despite all this hatred in the air, Netflix wants the father of two to bury the hatchet and attend King Charles III‘s coronation. The executives of the global streaming platform are convinced that it would elicit great content and response, and it doesn’t even matter if Meghan Markle chooses to go or not.
The Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan proved quite successful and broke streaming records as far as documentaries are concerned. And now Netflix seniors think that Harry attending the royal event would even trump those stats.
The source said,
“To have Harry at the coronation would be amazing television. There would be hurdles before it happens. But it’s a definite target for Netflix bosses. This is a once-in-a-generation royal ceremony and they want a piece of the action. They have this firmly in their minds as a real objective. After the revelations in last year’s series they’re fully aware of how explosive this could be.”
Only time will tell if Netflix shall get its way or not. It seems like we all shall find out only on May 6 if Harry will turn up in Westminster Abbey or if it will be a no-show after all.
