This is news that should not help the affairs of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are working on a partnership with US giant Netflix, a documentary series set to air in December. But this release has no choice but to be postponed.

For some, the modifications, changes and problems encountered that their documentary could cause would gradually lead to the pure and simple cancellation of the project. If this were the case, the couple can always count on the memoirs of William’s brother…
