They don't require the Royal couple's permission; they have a treasure trove of publicly available information at their disposal. And let's face it, the way Netflix portrayed Harry in "The Crown" demonstrates they have no qualms about taking artistic liberties with the truth. They've tentatively titled it "The Clown," a rather fitting moniker given the potential for a circus of creative liberties, much like what they did with "The Crown," where Harry was portrayed as a sniveling snitch.
The bottom line is, Netflix doesn't need Harry and Meghan on board; they have the story, and they're ready to run with it. Moreover, they don't have to call it "Spare"; they can name it "Harry's Story," a title bound to grab attention. That's how show business works. Harry signed that Netflix deal, and now it's time for payback.
But why stop there? Let's explore the potential content of this explosive series: revealing personal details, exposing past relationships, and even casting shadows on his past experiences. The possibilities are endless. Harry may believe his book is an unvarnished truth, but let's be realistic; there's enough fiction in there to rival Shakespearean tragedy. A series based on "Spare" could be the final nail in the coffin for the Harkle brand.
Let's not forget the intricate dance the creators of "The Crown" did with Prince Harry's memoir. Netflix's head of research even pointed out that the memoir's impact was limited. Sure, there were some interesting tidbits, but taking a personal memoir as gospel truth is a risky move, even for a streaming giant. Sources revealed they had already written and filmed the majority of the final season of "The Crown" when Harry's book was released.
In the end, 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, it's a strategic maneuver to remind the world that in the entertainment business, revenge can be a dish served with severe consequences. So, fasten your seatbelts; the saga has taken an unexpected turn, and Netflix might be holding 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.
