I’m consistently curious about Us Weekly’s royal coverage and whether they’re just pulling stuff out of their asses, or if there’s an actual effort (somewhere) to twist the coverage a certain way. It definitely feels like Us Weekly wants to mimic People Magazine’s efforts to do cutesy, almost cloying coverage of all of the royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Anyway, Us Weekly’s royal exclusives always haunt me because I’m like “where are they getting THIS?” So it is with this piece. An “insider” swears up and down that Meghan and Harry “agreed” to soften what they say about King Charles III. Hm.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are changing “direction” when it comes to how King Charles III will be portrayed in their upcoming projects, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.
“They’ve both agreed to reach a neutral ground by softening the parts on Charles and adding intimate details about [Queen Elizabeth II‘s] legacy,” the insider says of the pair’s upcoming Netflix documentary and Harry’s highly anticipated memoir.
The Suits alum, 41, and her husband, 38, are hoping to keep their revelations “interesting without crossing a line” following the queen’s death at 96 in September, the source tells Us.
A release date for the royal duo’s docuseries has yet to be confirmed. Similarly, it’s unknown when Harry’s memoir will officially hit shelves after it was announced in July 2021. With so many projects coming down the pipeline, the Archewell cofounders are leaning on one another even more.
“He’s so grateful to Meghan for her input and they make all of these big decisions together, so of course there’s that balancing act of weighing up pros and cons to consider,” the source tells Us. “And it goes the other way, too — he’s equally involved in her big picture, they’re very much at one that way and maintain they always will be.”
The Duke of Sussex is adjusting some of what will appear in his memoir, especially in regards to his father, 73, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate, per the insider. However, Harry and the Bench author are still set on telling their stories.
“Meghan moved to America to have a voice and feels it’s important for Harry to speak up about matters close to his heart, including his family,” a second source reveals.

Harry and Meghan ‘Agreed’ to Soften Charles Content in Documentary, Book
The whole “Meghan and Harry are rethinking their projects in the wake of QEII’s death” thing was started by the British tabloid media. That argument never made any sense – after QEII passed away and Harry lost the only person in that family with whom he still had a deep emotional connection, that suddenly he would… want to not tell the truth about how his father and brother treated him? That Harry would be “scared” of what? Charles’s “popularity” or “authority”? Charles is literally throwing a tantrum about a Netflix show, he has no authority! Wouldn’t a better argument have been: Harry lost his second mother figure and was subsequently snubbed and treated abominably by the family, so he’s feeling very scorched-earth these days? Anyway, can’t wait for Harry’s magazine covers and TV interviews to promote his memoir!
