The Duke and Dutchess are reportedly making a Keeping Up With the Kardashians-style docuseries for the streaming service Netflix. The pair have reportedly hired a director for the reality series. This comes after Meghan’s earlier animated children’s series was canceled by Netflix. The Sussexes’ Archewell Productions’ project titled Pearl was axed in the development stages of the project.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reportedly making a Netflix series along the lines of Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Earlier, the royal couple had signed a $100 million deal to produce content for Netflix in 2020. The series doesn’t have an official name yet, but is being dubbed as “Keeping Up With Sussexes”. It would feature behind-the-scenes content from the royal couple’s home life. Moreover, it may have a fair bit of drama. Royal editor Richard Eden had reportedly commented that: “For any good fly-on-the-wall documentary, you need some tension, you need drama, otherwise, it’s just boring, isn’t it?” “You know, Netflix, they do want bang for their buck.” (per the Latin Times)
Page Six had earlier reported that director Liz Garbus had been roped in to helm the reality show project. Liz Garbus is an Emmy-nominated director who famously directed the Season 4 finale of The Handmaid’s Tale.
While no official comment from the couple has been made on the reported series, they have issued a statement on another project on their website, which reads:
“Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination, and resolve. This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors,” “As Archewell Productions’ first series with Netflix, in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, [we] couldn’t be more excited for the journey ahead or prouder of the Invictus community for continuously inspiring global healing, human potential, and continued service.”

People Aren’t Impressed
However, it seems as though people on Twitter aren’t very enthusiastic about the reported docuseries.
They need to be OUT of the public eye & news. They need to stop inserting themselves in “causes.” We need to see LESS of Harry and Megan. Not more. Because the United States is not their personal stage for their PR/propaganda & brand. #Narcissists

It will never stop until the queen passes & Charles & William have a free hand to deal with them. It's the queen who is preventing action against them. Until then we'll just have to wait

Exactly. But the tides have turned. They are disliked. & are being called out for the narcissists they are, trying to use the US for their “brand.” We see through them & how ridiculous they are flaunting their titles. & we feel it is so wrong how they disrespected the UK.
