The Duke of Sussex is depicted as harboring 'jealousy' towards his elder brother, Prince William, in the acclaimed royal drama. Despite Harry and Meghan Markle's close working relationship with Netflix, the portrayal in 'The Crown' presents a less flattering image of the Duke.
In the final episodes of the show, teenage Harry is portrayed as envious of his older and more handsome sibling. The series also includes scenes depicting the Duke dressed as a Nazi at a 'Colonials and Natives' themed party.
The source remarked, "As much as Meghan wants it all to be water off a duck’s back, these incidents have cut deep. To say it’s been a year she’d prefer to forget is a serious understatement - she can’t believe 2023 is ending like this."
Despite these setbacks, Meghan Markle need not worry about her own royal romance being portrayed on screen. Peter Morgan, the creator of 'The Crown,' had previously asserted that the former Suits actress would not be featured in the final series due to his "20-year rule," aimed at maintaining a distance from recent events.
