They don't require the Royal couple's permission, as they have a wealth of publicly available information at their disposal. Let's not forget how Netflix portrayed Harry in "The Crown," where they didn't shy away from taking artistic liberties with the truth. The tentative title? "The Clown," an apt name given the potential for creative liberties, much like what they did with "The Crown," portraying Harry as a sneering snitch.
Netflix doesn't necessarily need Harry and Meghan on board. They have the story and are ready to roll with it. Furthermore, they don't have to label it as "The Spare"; they can go for something like "Harry's Story," a title bound to grab attention. This is how show business operates. Harry signed that Netflix deal, and now it seems like it's payback time.
But why stop there? Let's explore the potential content of this explosive series. It could reveal personal details, expose past relationships, and cast shadows on his previous experiences. The possibilities are endless. While Harry may believe his book to be an unvarnished truth, there's enough fiction in there to rival a Shakespearean tragedy. A series based on this narrative could potentially be the final blow to the Harkle brand.
Consider the intricate dance the creators of "The Crown" did with Prince Harry's memoir. Netflix's head of research even noted that the memoir's impact was limited. Sure, there were some intriguing bits, but taking a personal memoir as gospel truth is a risky move, even for a streaming giant.
Sources have hinted that they had already written and filmed most of the final season of "The Crown" when Harry's book came out. Whether Netflix follows through with this revenge plot or not, the mere contemplation of it has sent shockwaves through the narrative. It serves as a wake-up call to the royal couple that their every move is under intense scrutiny. Essentially, nothing is beyond examination for Netflix. This seems to be a strategic move to remind the world that in the entertainment business, revenge can be a dish served with severe consequences.
So, buckle up; the saga has taken an unexpected turn, and Netflix might be taking the reins in a spectacle worth watching. Who knows, the Sussexes might find themselves in a position they never anticipated: as characters in a cautionary tale.
