Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem to distance themselves from what we will hear on the expensive Netflix docu-series. The ‘widely spoken about’ Duchess of Sussex now claims that the filmmaker Liz Garbus may alter what’s being told and twist the stories to seem more controversial and more attractive to the audience.
“It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story. A seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired. Even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it. But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.” – Meghan Markle said.
Meghan Markle Says Her $100 million Netflix Series Is ‘Not The Way We Would Have Told It’
“It’s interesting. My husband never worked in this industry before. For me, coming from the set of ‘Suits,’ it’s so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. That’s been really fun.’”
It is not the first time that the filmmaker Liz Garbus works with the Duchess of Sussex. She worked on Meghan Markle’s series that never saw the screen, as the streaming service scrapped it before airing. Liz Garbus worked on ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ which paved her path to an Emmy nomination in 2021.
Rumors state that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s series is shelved, but the filmmaker revealed that the series is set to air on Netflix this year. The company spent $100 million on a deal with the Duke and Duchess and is not looking to scrap it.
What we can surely say about the filmmaker is that she is an openly pro-democratic supporter. She has her social media accounts open for the public to explore. It is evident that she is pro-women’s abortion rights and she posts comments praising the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Furthermore, she constantly shares and likes people involved with the Democratic party in the USA. All of these things could connect her with the Democratic party.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are working on several things for Netflix. Nevertheless, they have a $100 million deal and they have to fulfill their part.
Netflix is very cautious of what they reveal, and what they say about the new series. Their current hit, ‘The Crown’ is constantly making the headlines. The series misinform the public about certain events and create fictional situations that never happened. While doing this, they never advise the public that not everything they see in the series is true.
One of the most controversial scenes is the one where King Charles lobbies for the Queen’s abdication. That scene created a massive backlash and made Netflix more careful.
