Now, it's claimed that Meghan's plans could further strain her relationship with her in-laws. Meghan is reportedly considering pitching a spin-off series of "The Crown" that would center around her and Prince Harry, particularly focusing on their departure from the British Monarchy, which happened as part of their 5-year, £80 million Netflix deal signed in 2020.
Meghan is said to be planning this move secretly and is contemplating approaching the creators of "The Crown." Heat magazine reports that she intends to pitch the idea for a new Netflix show, especially as the storylines in "The Crown" approach more recent events. Meghan aims to set up a meeting with Peter Morgan, the writer and producer of "The Crown." A source is quoted as saying that she believes the series is of top quality and thinks Peter could create an incredible show featuring actors portraying them in their current roles, particularly in their charity work around the world.
The insider mentioned that Meghan is keen for someone of Peter's caliber to produce a spin-off that tells the new chapter of Meghan and Harry's life as they challenge traditional royal norms, all in the name of a good cause. In her vision, the drama would depict the couple risking everything to help others.
However, Harry is reportedly worried about this prospect. He is concerned that working on such a project could subject them to increased scrutiny, similar to when they were parodied on "South Park." Harry feels it's too soon to turn their experiences into a movie or TV show, especially since it would delve into personal matters, some of which he may have regrets about. He is wary of enduring more public humiliation.
Despite Meghan's enthusiasm for the idea, some fans doubt that Peter Morgan would seriously consider a meeting with Harry and Meghan, given that he has stated that bringing "The Crown" closer to the present time is too close to real-time events. Some critics have labeled Meghan's efforts as another in a series of uninspired ventures, comparing it to previous projects like "Pearl," "Bodyguard 2," collaborations with the Kardashians, Audible, Dior, and more.
Royal commentator Moren Callahan has criticized Harry and Meghan for their consistent pursuit of the spotlight. She mentioned their desire to overshadow "The Crown" and its associated popularity. Callahan remarked that "The Crown" has struggled to gain attention because Harry has been able to divert the world's focus, especially during Queen Elizabeth's passing. She cautioned that headlines about them may dominate the media in the wake of the sixth series, referencing an upcoming book called "Endgame" by H&M cheerleader Omed Scoby, which the Sussexes have denied any affiliation with.
