Harry and Meghan’s reality show plans revealed
Harry and Meghan’s Reality show “multi-episode” premieres in December, source Netflix told Daily telegram.
And while a couple are doing program revisions and tweaks with their production team, they don’t do extensive revisions, as reporteda source told the newspaper.
“There seems to be a big misconception that they need or want to do the project,” the source said. “There are always tweaks to be made, but that’s how it works — people take notes, sometimes things get changed if there is time ahead of time.”
An insider also told Telegraph: “This is about where they come from, what they’ve been through and where they are… I think it explains a lot about the decisions they had to make and how they ended up here. “
The Telegraphciting an industry source, said that despite “go back and forth” on the release date, the “episode series” is now scheduled for a December release.
The Telegraph adds: “Harry’s memoirs will follow, probably next year, and possibly edited to make sense after the queen’s death, even with basics to clarify tenses. “.
The report clearly states that there is no significant improvement in the relationship between the two parties, which should lead to a softening of the couple’s attacks, indeed, Telegraph assumed that when the queen was gone, the Sussexes would be free to say what they pleased about their son-in-law.
Another source was quoted as saying: “This is the first time Harry can – talk about his own life. His family is clearly part of his story, but it is not an exercise in record-setting (rather than) a means of setting himself free. And then he can move on.”
King Charles Plans ‘Crashed Coronation’
It’s set to last an hour, not three. Queen Elizabeth had 8,000 guests at her 1953 coronation. That amount will be reduced to 2,000 for King Charles’. Less complicated rituals. Lounge suits in lieu of ceremonial robes.

Revealed today Mail on SundayThe plans for Operation Golden Orb, the codename for King Charles’ coronation next June, reveal Charles’s desire for a reduced, sober-spending monarchy.
That’s all well and good and reasonable (wouldn’t be a good look at so much extravagance with England during the cost of living crisis), but consider the crazy contest at the female funeral. the emperor emphasized what royals do well — crazy things in crazy wagons in crazy clothes — what Letters Charles wanted to keep that, too.
Difficult balancing act? In the “cut down coronation ceremony”, like Letters called it, “Ancient and time-consuming rituals – including the gift of gold bars to the king – will be cut out to save time.”
Not a gold bar! We love the ingots!
King Charles is unlikely to make as many costume changes as the queen did at her coronation, “and the language will be adjusted to make it easier to understand for a more modern audience,” Letters report.
Another thing being reportedly scrapped is the Court of Claims, which aristocrats, before the queen’s coronation, used as a way to bid for roles at the coronation. “The velvet chair specially made for the 1953 Coronation can be replaced with a standard chair,” Letters say – what a sad sentence.
The Duke of Norfolk is planning the event to reflect modern, diverse Britain. “The King has stripped away a lot of the Coronation in recognition that the world has changed in the last 70 years,” a source close to the matter told the Mail on Sunday. Thank goodness 1762 Gold State Coach still has a lead role.

In addition, there will be police on every bridge along the way. And other trains will be cancelled. It was decided that this would not start Charles on the right track with the public. “
Mather began drafting the main document for Operation London Bridge in 1999. He said: “The first draft I wrote was, I think, 15 pages long. My last copy, from 2017, is about 2.5 inches thick. If you have a plan, you must update it. Quite a few meetings a year — at the end of January — and we held a conference, the Earl of the Marshal’s conference, where he presided over and we explained any updates on the plan.
“In the years that followed, we took over the entire ballroom at Buckingham Palace. We did it all through a PowerPoint presentation. Everyone swore an oath to secrecy — they didn’t discuss it, other than those who needed to know. Whenever one sees the queen, it is very formal. Funeral discussion is purely indirect – it is always through a private secretary. You will find a private secretary or a woman waiting in the hallway and talking. They checked the temperature of the water for me.”
