When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed their multi-million dollar deal with Netflix earlier this year, many wondered how this would impact the streaming service’s popular drama “The Crown,” which chronicles the lives of the modern British royal family. Now, it’s being reported that when Meghan and Harry signed their deal, they demanded that Netflix end the series before it reaches their time period.

Royal expert Angela Levin told The Mirror that it was a “terrible error” for Harry and his wife to sign this deal because “The Crown” “is ridiculing his father, his mother and his grandmother.” She added that Harry allegedly told her two years ago that the royal family was “absolutely watching everything” on “The Crown,” but was already stating that he was “going to insist it stops before it reaches me.”

Despite this, Levin believes that Harry and Meghan’s deal with Netflix could actually make things worse for them when it comes to “The Crown.”

“I think the way that he has left the Royal Family, the way he did it, and he’s changed,” she said. “He’s almost unrecognizable from Prince Harry I spent a lot of time with. But I think, you know, Meghan is desperate to earn lots of money and Netflix offered them something. I think they’re being naive as they have been about lots of things in that they don’t realize that a big company like Netflix is going to want its pint of blood. They’re going to delve in and get a lot of information that will absolutely decry the Royal Family.”

Levin went on to defend the royal family in this situation.

“I think the Royal Family does a lot of for us. Of course they’ve got a lot of faults, haven’t we all,” she said. “But the sense of duty Prince William has now, and Prince Charles, I spent a year with Prince Charles before his 70th birthday, I was astonished at how many young people he had managed to get off the streets and into work. I don’t think we should just paint them black.”

Harry and Meghan shocked the world earlier this year when they stepped down as senior royals and moved to Los Angeles, California. Their Netflix deal signified that they were going full Hollywood, and it remains to be seen how this will work out for them.
