Prince Harry 'Playing Up' Queen Elizabeth Bond To Create Royal Content For Netflix [EXPERT]
Is Prince Harry exaggerating his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II for Netflix?
According to a royal author, the Duke of Sussex is guaranteeing his reputation in the United States despite their contract with Netflix.
Tom Bower told the Daily Mail that he believes Prince Harry is exaggerating his bond with his grandmother in order to prevent Buckingham Palace from lowering its efforts and business ventures beyond the British royal family.
The author, who is presently working on a biography of Meghan Markle, believes the 36-year-old former royal is taking aim at people who are impeding her promotion.
He further argues that he is merely pretending to have a special relationship with the Queen for the benefit of Netflix and the United States.
Despite the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to stand aside from their royal duties in order to pursue activities that would earn them money, the pair pressed the royal family for continuous support.
Tom's remarks followed Prince Harry's most recent interview with Hoda Kotb for the "Today" show. He feared he wouldn't be allowed to attend the monarch's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June because of his continuing security litigation against the Home Office.
But Lilibet Diana and Archie Harrison's father did add that for the time being, his home is "in the States," and he feels emotionally tied to it as well.
Despite their well known feud with other members of the British royal family, the Duke boasted of his "excellent bond" with Queen Elizabeth II.
Another royal expert warned that Netflix executives may put pressure on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to produce more royal programming after the streaming service lost more than 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of the year.
"It was undeniably a cachet to have two royals with a strong worldwide presence as well as producing The Crown, which, albeit controversial, was an international smash," Richard Fitzgerald told the Daily Mail.
Netflix executives will also turn to the pair to help reinvigorate the company after they signed a $100 million contract in September 2020. However, they have yet to create any material.
Last year, they announced that "Hear of Invictus," a documentary about those competing in the Games, will be released on Netflix. A television team had even trailed them to the event in previous days.
The same year, it was announced that the former "Suits" actress had also produced a children's animal series called "Pearl," which would follow the adventures of a 12-year-old girl. However, nothing has come of the show or its development.
