There’s not long to wait.

The release date for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries has officially been revealed.

The royal couple signed a huge deal with the streaming service back in 2020 following on from their own production company.

The deal will see them make their own documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows, and children’s programming alongside Netflix.

According to Page Six, the series is set to join Netflix on December 8th.

The series was reportedly originally pushed back until 2023 after there was a lot of backlash following the release of the fifth season of The Crown.

A source revealed to the publication that the show will tell the couple’s “love story” and was previously called Chapters.

It is now understood that Meghan and Harry later changed the name but the new one has yet to be made public.

Reports have also said that the Sussexes are “panicked” over the show and how much they have shared in it, requesting for content to be now cut from it after filming it last year.

Insiders are now claiming that the two are second-guessing what they want to show the public in the series but Netflix is standing by what is already created.

A Netflix source told Page Six: “Harry and Meghan are having second thoughts on their own story, on their own project.

“They’ve made significant requests to walk back content they themselves have provided — to the extent that some Netflix staff believe, if granted, it will effectively shelve the project indefinitely. Netflix is standing by the filmmakers.”

Another source said: “Harry and Meghan are panicked about trying to tone down even the most basic language. But it’s their story, from their own mouths. Netflix has made it clear that the project is going forward.”

Meghan has however described the series saying: “The piece of my life I haven’t been able to share, that people haven’t been able to see — our love story.”
