Meghan Markle 'feels Kate and Prince William are being petty' over Netflix deal

The couple produced a record-breaking docuseries titled Harry & Meghan for the platform and the Duke of Sussex also released his Heart of Invictus series this summer.

However, Meghan and Harry's partnership with Netflix is under scrutiny ahead of the imminent release of the final series of The Crown.

The series dramatises historical Royal Family events and the latest set of episodes will portray the death of Harry and William's mother Princess Diana.

The late Princess of Wales will also be depicted as a ghost in the upcoming sixth series of The Crown.

William and Kate are unhappy that the Sussexes are continuing to work with Netflix despite their affiliation with The Crown, a source has claimed.

The insider told Heat Magazine: "The Sussexes are well aware that William and Kate are not happy about The Crown or their deal with Netflix, but they've got no plans to defend themselves over it any longer."

The source continued: "Some things in life aren't black and white, and William of all people, should know that just because they have a deal with Netflix, it doesn't mean they approve of The Crown or that they have any sort of influence over what gets shown."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently not on speaking terms with William and Kate.

The source added: "Meghan's accusing Kate and William of having sour grapes and has told Harry to ignore them.

"She thinks they're being petty and looking for any reason to squabble."

The first half of the sixth series of The Crown will be released this month on Thursday November 16.

Netflix has chosen to delay releasing the second half of the final series for almost a month.

The final episodes of The Crown will drop on the streaming platform on Thursday December 14 2023.
