PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle are backtracking on the content within the Duke’s new memoir & Netflix series, insiders have claimed.
According to sources, the Duke & Duchess want to reconcile with the Royal Family, bringing his tell-all memoir and the couple's fly-on-the-wall documentary into question.
Both the series and the memoir were originally too critical of King Charles and the Queen consort – but insiders have told The Sun how the couple have toned down the rhetoric.
The Sussexes have also ended their relationship with PR firm Sunshine Sachs as a gesture to rebuild bridges with the Royal Family.
A source said: “Next year 2023 was to be their reconciliation year.”

Camilla 'will always leave door open for Meg & Harry'
Queen Camilla is leaving the door open to a reconciliation between the Royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan, according to her biographer.
Biographer Angela Levin said: "It's very interesting because her belief is you never ditch your family. You always leave the door open. If they want to come back in, they can.
“I think that's a very important feeling that she has, but I think they've got to have respect. Harry and Megan have got to change the way they're doing things.
“They haven't got to think about me, me, me… I still think they want to crush and smash the royal family, as we know it, to pieces.”

What will the content of Harry’s memoir entail?
The memoir has been edited and much of the critical content toned down, and there will be a new chapter dedicated to Elizabeth II, according to royal author Tom Bower.
"Harry and Meghan’s former staff members are convinced that this book is being written to settle scores and will likely include a lot of detail about their time within the royal family," a source told The Sun.
"Based on the Oprah Winfrey interview, some of these ex-workers simply do not trust that a full and accurate picture will be presented. Conversations have already started about what steps they might be able to take to protect their own reputation and that of the monarchy post-publication."

According to Harpers Bazaar, the Duke said: "I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become," he said in a personal statement released in July. "I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful."

So it is no surprise that while visiting England’s training ground on Wednesday, he sought out the nearest Villa supporter.

The schoolgirl, of Edgbaston, Birmingham, said afterwards: “He told me Villa was his favourite team and said that he wouldn’t want us to let him down. We promised not to.
“At first I thought he would be strict, because he’s in the Royal Family and has to follow these guidelines. But he’s really talkative, fun and a nice guy. My dad will be really proud.”

“If sharing my story on Netflix or to a greater TV audience will help do that, then I say let’s do it.”
Simon is adamant he is the son of Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, alleging he was conceived in 1965.
