Prince Harry 'Breaching' Own Privacy Again With Documentary, Royal Commentator Claims

Prince Harry is "breaching" his own privacy again with his plans to bring a camera crew to the U.K. to film a new Netflix documentary about the Invictus Games, a royal author has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex announced in April the first project from his and wife Meghan Markle's multi-year deal with Netflix, "Heart of Invictus." Prince Harry, who founded the Invictus Games in 2013, will appear in front of the camera and will also serve as executive producer of the docuseries.

However, Charles Rae — a former royal editor at The Sun and co-author of several books on the royal family, including "The People's Princess" and "The Queen Mum: Her First 100 Years" — labeled the project as "stuffy" self-promotion.

"Harry is bringing a film crew, he is coming to Nottingham in round about November. Where he is going to film the start of the Invictus Games," the royal commentator said on talkRADIO. "Harry is doing this Invictus Games as a 'g-up' for the games, which were canceled this year because of [COVID-19]."

He then took a jab at Prince Harry and Markle, saying, "It's another example of him and his wife breaching their own privacy again."

"I can hardly wait, I am sitting here with bated breath, please bring it on," Rae continued. "Let me see another load of woke, stuffy nonsense!"

Royal editor Russell Myers also weighed in on Prince Harry's reported U.K. documentary filming plans during a chat with Christine Lampard this week on "Lorraine."

"Imagine him popping up outside Buckingham Palace with a camera crew?" Myers was quoted by Daily Mail as saying. "Will we see Harry back with a camera crew in tow outside the palace? You never know. Nothing is off-limits with Harry."

The "Heart of Invictus" is a multi-episode production that will follow a group of competitors—all service members or veterans—in the Invictus Games from around the world. The docuseries will highlight their preparation for the spring 2022 tournament in The Hague, Netherlands, which has been postponed twice since its original May 2020 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Invictus Games said in a statement on its website in April that the documentary will "reveal powerful stories of resilience and hope."

Announcing the cancellation of the games in March 2020, Prince Harry said, "This was an incredibly difficult decision for all of us to have to make."

"I’m so grateful for everybody that’s worked so hard over the past couple of weeks to try to find any alternative to try and carry on these Games in a different way — in a safe way," he continued. "But this decision was the most sensible and the safest option for all of you — for your families and everybody else — involved in these Games."

"Heart of Invictus" is part of the Sussexes' multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix to produce "content that informs but also gives hope," including documentaries and scripted series.

British director Orlando von Einsiedel and producer Joanna Natasegara will helm the project. The pair won an Academy Award for best documentary (short subject) for the 2016 Netflix original, "The White Helmets." Their work on documentaries "Virunga" and "Evelyn" have also earned them critical acclaim.
