As the premiere of the first three episodes looms, many people are wondering what is going through the minds of the rest of the Royal Family, including Harry’s father, King Charles and brother, Prince William. Read on to find out how the family is handling the situation.
1 The Family Is Going About Business as Usual, Sources Claim
According to Royal sources, the family is trying to go about their business as if the Netflix series does not exist. The King, Queen Consort, Prince William, and Kate Middleton will continue attending planned engagements, including community visits and the white-tie Diplomatic Reception.
2 They Will Reportedly Attend “Engagements in the Diary”
“The Royal family will be going about their business as usual. There are engagements in the diary and they will carry on with them,” a source told The Telegraph. “That’s their only focus.”
3 The Family Feels “Weariness,” According to Insiders
Overall, the King and his family’s attitude toward the project and interviews featured in it have been described as “weariness.” While some of the family members, including Princess Eugenie, are on good terms with the Sussexes, The Telegraph claims that none of the royals will be interviewed in the docuseries.
4 The Palace Is Hoping Not to “Engage” About Allegations, Sources Claim
Despite the bombshells that Harry and Meghan are dropping in the show, which include allegations of race rows and mistreatment, Royal sources describe them as “very wearying,” but maintain that the palace is hoping not to have to “engage” in terms of the claims.
5 They Allegedly Believe There Is Nothing Left to Say
Sources inside the palace maintain that there is a feeling of “weary resignation,” about the project. “It’s the law of diminishing returns,” one told the publication. “What more is there possibly left to say?“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
6 It Will be “Oprah with More Crying,” a Source Says
Another believes it will be “Oprah Plus. Oprah with more crying,” mentioning the couple’s infamous interview with the media giant. “They’re going to go over a lot of the same points,” they said. “It will feel more dramatic and they’ll have to up the ante but in terms of narrative points, there can’t be anything left. If she [Meghan] has saved anything from the Oprah interview, I can’t imagine what it is.” A third points out that “everyone would prefer it didn’t exist.” Another insider adds: “For a couple who moved to America in search of privacy, they do seem rather in the spotlight.”

7 The Couple Will Allegedly Unveil the Alleged “Invisible Contract” The Firm Has with the Media
A source involved in the editing process tells The Telegraph that the docuseries will make allegations that the palace is in cahoots with the media as part of an “invisible contract.” But a source says, “Was the coverage that bad? No, it was glowing. Meghan had great press, until real things happened: staff started leaving, her father started waging war. There might have been a bit of sexist woman-vs-woman stuff, but what is the Princess [of Wales] meant to do about that?”
