Royal Family Not Approached For Comment On Harry, Meghan's Docuseries, Disputes Disclaimer: Report

Members of the royal family were not approached for comment on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix docuseries, according to reports.

When it premiered with the first three episodes Thursday, "Harry & Meghan" issued a disclaimer stating that the royal family was asked for comment on claims made in the Netflix project.

At the start of the series, a title card stated, "Members of the royal family declined to comment on the content within the series."

However, an unnamed palace source alleged to Us Weekly that the royal family was not "approached for comment regarding the content of the series."

Entertainment Tonight also cited an unnamed source close to the royal family as saying that the claim that members of the royal family declined to comment on the content of the series is "incorrect."

"Neither Buckingham Palace nor Kensington Palace nor any members of the royal family were approached for comment on the content of the series," the insider claimed. "[The Palace] is not aware of any such approach for comment."

An anonymous palace source also told People that members of the royal family, Buckingham Palace and Prince William's office at Kensington Palace were not asked for comment on the docuseries' claims. The palace will also not be providing any comment on the episodes, according to the outlet.

Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace did receive an email claiming to be from a third-party production company through an unknown organization's email address, an unnamed royal source claimed to People.

However, when they contacted Prince Harry and Markle's Archewell and Netflix to verify the source, there was no response, the source alleged.

The insider added that the substance of the email did not address the entire series.

But an anonymous Netflix source insisted to People Wednesday that the team behind the project reached out to the communications offices for King Charles and Prince William ahead of the premiere and gave them the right to reply to claims within the series.

Royal correspondent and "Finding Freedom" co-author Omid Scobie also reported that Netflix is standing by its disclaimer. He cited an unnamed insider as saying that the household offices for King Charles and the Prince of Wales "were contacted and given sufficient time to respond."

"Harry & Meghan" opened with a title card that read, "This is a first-hand account of Harry & Meghan's story, told with never before seen person archive." It also mentioned that "all interviews were completed by August 2022," the month before Queen Elizabeth II passed away.

The first three episodes of Prince Harry and Markle's docuseries are now streaming on Netflix. Three more episodes will be dropped next week.
