Royal experts demand Prince Harry axes his Netflix deal over The Crown’s

Royal experts are demanding Prince Harry tears up his £112million Netflix deal and makes a stand over The Crown’s portrayal of Princess Diana. 

Royal biographer Angela Levin criticised the Duke of Sussex for not ‘finding his voice’ over the streaming giant’s controversial portrayal of his mother. 

It comes after Princess Diana’s friend Jemima Khan withdrew her support for The Crown over its ‘disrespectful’ script after she broke up with the show’s creator.  

Levin, author of Harry: A Biography of a Prince, told The Sun: ‘Harry has remained absolutely silent about Netflix.

‘He should tear the deal up and make a stand for his mother.

‘What’s more important? Money or defending his mum? It’s astonishing he can’t find his voice on this.’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a deal with the streaming service last year for their new production company to make documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.

The comments come after Khan, 47, refused a writing credit in The Crown and backed out of the project because the show wasn’t handling Diana’s story as ‘respectfully or compassionately’ as she had hoped. 

Khan was hired to advise writer Peter Morgan, 58, who she enjoyed a brief romance with from this January to February. 

Morgan has since been reunited with his partner of four years Gillian Anderson, 53, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, The Sunday Times reported.

Khan worked with Morgan from last September to this February, on stories such as Diana’s relationships with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed as well as her sensational BBC Panorama interview with Martin Bashir.

She added that she agreed to help write the fifth series when approached by Morgan, a long-time friend, in 2019 even though she hadn’t publicly spoken about her past with Diana because she wanted her story to be ‘portrayed accurately’. 

She said she requested that her ‘contributions be removed from the series’ and  declined a…
