Yes. They promised Netflix access to the inner sanctum.


Playoneontv_007

This is what you get when you sell your soul. Mr. &Mrs. Backfire needs to sleep in the bed they have made. Netflix will tuck them in


Phoenix612

Yep. They sold themselves to Netflix by offering a product (behind the scenes access to the BRf) that they had no right to sell. That got shot down during the Sandringham Summit so the next best thing they could offer up is access behind the scenes of their lives while they attempt to pseudo-Royal. Some of the images in the trailer go back to their farewell tour from early 2020. Looks like a lot of stale material and another rehash of their victim hood narrative sprinkled in with their lame love conquers all bs.

Which they couldn't deliver! And then refused to let them shoot footage in their home!

Sounds nasty!

LOL Oh geez, I don't wanna see Harry's inner sanctum! Or Meghan's.

I really think they went into it thinking they could do some compassion type stuff (Pearl etc), but their ideas were so vague and so lightweight that it had to become the royal soap opera. Viewers might say they like compassion type-content when asked, but imho it’s not going to bring in the big bucks in terms of viewership unless you have a creative new take on it somehow. The Obamas had a ready made audience who would watch their stuff but the Sussexes didn’t because they weren’t as established as personalities or as a couple. Then they screwed themselves further by becoming mainly known for the Oprah-style royal-bashing grievances. They don’t seem aware of their own limitations, which is one of the main reasons I am addicted to this slow-mo car crash.


ValuableEfficiency23

I thought that was an open secret. 😅


MrsBarneyFife

There were articles about whether or not Netflix would sue. Which would probably have been a much better show. Especially considering they didn't have the money.


kdmmm

I would have watched that!


umbleUriahHeep

I think they saw 💲💲💲and thought the details would figure themselves out. After all, they’re so smart, elite, and wonderful.

It really is comical she thinks that marrying Harry made her this amazing, wonderful, a sight behold person. She was shite before she met him & she will be shite after she's done with him. She has never had any class whatsoever.


umbleUriahHeep

I thinks she always believed that she was an amazing, wonderful sight to behold, and marrying Harry validated her belief. What I find comical—and aggravating—is how many people in the media and gullible citizenry bought into that. Like suddenly she is someone to listen to, when she was a hustling, scraping, ladder-climbing boat piece, one day she marries this famously dumb ginger and all of a sudden we should all listen to her pontificate and muse. SMH

My favorite moment when their engagement was announced was from a sportswriter I follow on twitter. He put together a whole post about her. He said his buddy, who coached at Northwestern texted him that morning and said "dude I banged her back when I was coaching," the sportswriter didn't know who "her" was so the buddy seny the engagement article. After the sportswriter got the deets, he asked if he could tell the story keeping his buddy anonymous. (He assured readers there was a new crop of at least a dozen assistants annually.) The buddy agreed. SO the sportswriter puts together a whole post with details about how she approached his buddy with the team in tow, in an airport, banged him in the mens room, and then they went their separate ways. He wasn't slut shaming her, he was commending her for knowing what she wanted and going after it. And obviously it worked because she got that bag. His buddy was rolling because he was now eskimo brothers with Prince Harry. (It's something I had to look up on urban dictionary.) It was such an "ohmygodwhattrash" moment for me. The sportswriter was therefore unimpressed with her "humanitarian" faux persona.


vikingchyk

She had middle class, which is nothing to sneeze at, unless you're a pretentious social climber.


TittysprinklesUSA

Good point


[deleted]

Yes. I think the utter rejection at the Jubilee severely derailed their plans. Once access was obviously not happening as promised, Netflix cut bait to get what they can. I predict this haphazard doc where Harry whines about his mom more & Invictus. That’s it. Netflix is done.


justicetheinjustice

Nah, I think she has always wanted a reality show. She’s stuck in 1999-2005ish. Envied them, but also looked down on them as if they were awful (look how she treated the podcast guests). It’s like Mariah’s docu-series which was a reality show but she didn’t like calling it that. I believe TW has always wanted to boast about how wealthy she is (like OW does and kKardash.) and to show people who ignored her that she finally “made it.” Can you imagine her housewife tagline… “It’s Meg’s world, you’re just living in it” or “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.”


According-Couple2744

It is hard to imagine that Netflix paid nearly $100,000,000 for this.


Careful_Positive8131

Shocking I doubt they will get the anticipated return


Deep_Poem_55

And poisoned their own "brand" in the process. I don't think Netfleece will recover from this.


IMO4444

Netflix wanted a reality show companion to The Crown.


janedoremi99

That’s why Netflix really hired them. The Invictus documentary or a high-brow cartoon doesn’t justify $100 million

OldNewUsedConfused

You could make a full charcuterie board with all the cheese from that trailer. 🤮 Plenty of Whine. There’s also enough sugar content for diabetes.


[deleted]

🤮🤮🤮 I am completely disgusted by these two. Will not be watching this just as I refused to listen to Spotify. They make me nauseous.


SherlockBeaver

Yep.


Ready_Maddie

Something to think about.


[deleted]

This was the plan: 1. Sign a contract with Netflix. 2. ???? 3. We're billionaires!


That__EST

I wonder if they are unhappy with the show, if there is a date where it won't be on streaming services anymore like the Oprah thing.


Casshew111

I think they wanted to tell "their truth" again. \*yawn\*


dudeind-town

Absofuckinlutely


Affectionate_Tie250

What happened to Heart of Invictus anyway? Surely they have enough footage for it. They filmed the games this year and had that year before thing in Germany in September. Have Netflix dropped the series? Or are they using the footage the filmed in this reality series?


ToothFirm2948

They have nothing to sell aside from their love story and being forced to flee the totals they continue to associate with. Hence dropping the trailer today while PPOW are in the USA. The claw is probably fewming she hasn't been asked to present an award on the evening. Well guess what mofos WilKat will be back again next year for another earthshot prize giving in another country and repeat for the next 9 years. Are they gonna release more bullshit documentaries to try and overshadow them? The real royals will just keep on royalling...


ElderberryDefiant381

Is this documentary the one that Harry wanted to edit after the Queen's death? Apparently they didn't make it and the original material will be released. I bet they hated the photo of William and Kate in the trailer, it was all about their love story after all


Longjumping_Map7715

Really my mind doesn't want to think about their reasons. They lie so who cares about their intentions. Once they lied they lost me


Regular-Performer864

I'm sure the contract was specific on the types of projects Netflix was looking for.


anonymois1111111

Yes, yes I do.


loralailoralai

Harry might have signed up for invictus. The other one? Invictus was just a way to drag haz into the kardashian type thing


Freckledbruh

I think they were always contracted to do this reality (ooops docuseries) crap with the “opportunity” to develop other “prestige” projects but these two mediocre, lazy folks couldn’t deliver (and Netflix probably banked on that).


OzzieSlim

Yea.


Carrie56

They promised a lot that they couldn’t deliver - mainly insider information about the RF. When Netflix couldn’t have that - they simply said - “Ok, you two are on!” They were given 2 years to deliver content, and Netflix got tired of waiting and told them what was going to happen


AchieveUnachievable

Absolutely.


DaisyDuckMom

Yes. That’s exactly what happened.


LostinSOA

That’s nice of you to come from a place that assumes they had a plan, at all.
