KEY POINTS

The Netflix producers decided to release Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's docuseries later this year
The still-untitled project will air weeks after "The Crown" Season 5 premieres on Netflix
Earlier this week, a report claimed Netflix would push back the Sussexes' docuseries

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's docuseries will air in two months whether they are ready or not, according to a report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly wanted to stall their docuseries on Netflix because they allegedly wanted to delete any incriminating statements they said about King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton in it. However, they are reportedly not getting what they wanted because it will still air later this year.

"As far as I am aware, the docu-series is still going ahead later this year," a highly-placed industry insider told Page Six.

Netflix has not announced an official release date yet. According to insiders, there were still issues with the docuseries due to inconsistent statements between Prince Harry's memoir and what he and his wife said in the series.

"A lot in the show contradicted what Harry has written, so that was an issue," an anonymous senior Netflix source claimed to Page Six. "Then Harry and Meghan made significant requests [to filmmakers] to walk back content they themselves have provided for their own project."

Despite the changes the Sussexes wanted to make, the Netflix chiefs reportedly insisted to stream their docuseries after "The Crown" Season 5 premieres on Nov. 5.

Prince Harry and Markle, who have been filming for their show for over a year with director Liz Garbus, reportedly wanted to edit the content of their Netflix project. However, they needed to finish their editing because the streaming giant also needed weeks to edit the content and translate them into several languages for dubbing.

The report about Prince Harry and Markle's docuseries airing in December came on the heels of a report that Netflix would push back the project. According to Deadline, Netflix was "rattled" after receiving attacks on Season 5 of "The Crown," so they decided to push back the Sussexes' project until next year.

"They're rattled at Netflix, and they blinked first and decided to postpone the documentary," a source told Deadline.

Prince Harry and Markle's documentary series produced by Netflix and Archewell Productions has remained untitled with no official broadcast date. But the outlet also noted that Netflix had stated several times this year that they wanted to tie it with "The Crown," with the latter running first and the docuseries airing a few weeks later.
