“I wonder if the show could even be dead in the water at this point, do Harry and Meghan just want to shelve this thing?" they wondered.

Multiple sources confirmed Harry and Meghan are keen on taking out or downplaying bits they said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, the new Princess of Wales, seemingly in an effort to mend old wounds.

There is a lot of pressure on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from both Netflix chiefs and the royal family, as the streaming service wants the show finished ASAP and the couple's fate with Harry's family depends on what they say about them.

Harry's memoir, originally scheduled for release from Penguin Random House in November, may also now be pushed back as he rushes to add more chapters about his grandmother's death. OK! also learned the red-headed prince went back to his pages for fear he may have offended his royal family more than intended.

Harry is "desperate to get it refined" because "there may be things which might not look so good if they come out so soon after the Queen’s death and his dad becoming King," explained a source.

Page Six reported on the couple's rush to edit their projects.
