Prince Harry vows to not let Netflix's 'The Crown' cover his life

The Duke of Sussex is worried about the hit Netflix series depicting his family drama and exit from the Royal family

Prince Harry is already worried about his family drama being portrayed onscreen by The Crown, joking that he would “stop it” before the show could “get to me," according to his biographer.

In an interview with BBC Breakfast, biographer Angela Levin – who interviewed the Duke of Sussex for her 2018 book Harry: A Biography of a Prince - said that the 35-year-old wanted to make sure the series’ narrative wouldn’t get to his life, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"Harry, when I went to interview him in the Palace, the first thing he said to me when he shook my hand was, Are you watching The Crown'?" Levin shared on the programme. "And I hadn't been at the time, I felt very embarrassed and I got it and he said, 'I'm going to make sure I stop it before they get to me’."

However, earlier this month, The Crown's executive producer Suzanne Mackie stated that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle need not worry about stopping the Netflix show.

"To be honest, whatever the life of The Crown is after where we are now, I doubt we'll ever go as far into the present day," Mackie told the BBC.

The third series of the programme centres on the Profumo affair, Labour prime minister Harold Wilson’s arrival at Downing Street, the end of Princess Margaret’s marriage to Lord Snowdon and Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall's early romance.

Prince Harry 'sad' over his exit from Royal family

News of Prince Harry wanting to put an end to the show before it includes his life story comes days after the Queen issued a statement explaining the terms of Prince Harry and Markle’s recent decision to step down as ‘senior members’ of the Royal family.

On January 8, the Duke and Duchess announced that they intended to leave the Royal family and wished to change how they represent the British monarchy as ambassadors and become finally independent.

According to Buckingham Palace, the couple will no longer use their His/Her Royal Highness titles, nor receive any public funds for Royal duties.

The pair also intend to repay £2.4m of British taxpayer money for the refurbishment of their Windsor base, Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their UK family home. The new arrangement will come into effect in spring this year, the palace stated.
