We hope the Queen was sitting down when she heard this news: British tabloid
The Sun is reporting that, as part of their extremely lucrative Netflix deal, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have agreed to star in a “tasteful” reality TV series about their everyday routine. “They want to give people a glimpse into their lives,”
a source told the paper, referencing a couple whose every move is already covered by international media across the globe. Which isn’t to say that we wouldn’t tune in (duh).“Much of the docuseries will be about their philanthropy rather than what they get up to behind closed doors. But it will still be a fascinating insight and Meghan hopes viewers will get to see the real her,” explains
The Sun’s source bringing the trademark snark U.K. tabloids are known for by adding, “They may have had all these lofty ideas about producing epics highlighting environmental causes and the poverty gap, but Netflix obviously want their pound of flesh."[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: Meghan Markle shares her secret to being happy[/video_embed]Naturally, the opportunity was seized by detractors to criticize both Meghan and Harry (while blaming mostly Markle, as is tradition). “[She] took our prince,” pouted Piers Morgan in an interview with a former British government official went so far as to demand that the Queen strip the couple of their royal titles. “They’re offering him the deal because of his connections with the royal family, which he therefore is exploiting,”

"The Duke and Duchess are not taking part in any reality shows,"
said their spokesperson in a definitive statement. At least we still have season four of
