Prince Harry and Meghan Markle break silence on Netflix reality show claims

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have broken their silence to deny claims they will be taking part in a Netflix reality show.

The couple recently signed a £112 million deal with the streaming giant, and last night it was reported they would be opening up their lives to the cameras in a series as part of the package.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have now released a statement denying any plans to turn their lives into reality TV.

A spokesperson for the couple told HELLO!: "The Duke and Duchess are not taking part in any reality shows."

A source previously told The Sun the couple were planning a reality show as part of their deal with Netflix to give fans "a glimpse into their lives".

They said: "They may have had all these lofty ideas about producing epics highlighting environmental causes and the poverty gap, but Netflix obviously want their pound of flesh."

They added the concept is "tasteful" and not a " Katie Price and Peter Andre-style reality show" but would focus on their charity work.

The report suggested cameras would follow them for three months as they live and work in California.

However, the report was met by a backlash from critics including Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, who compared Meghan to reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian.

Speaking on the show this morning, Piers raged at Meghan and Harry over the reality show rumours - flagging that the pair moved to the US to get away from what they claimed was media intrusion.

When will it drop that she came over here, took our prince and the titles, went back to Hollywood. I mean, a £112million deal with Netflix at the back of her royal status.

"And now Miss Privacy has now for one of the films she's done for £112million is a fly-on-the-wall documentary. Every part of their lives is going to be filmed!

"At what point do these scales come down from your eyes?!"

"Well, I do think I've reached the tipping point," Susanna admitted. "I am really private and I think if you are going to complain about intrusion into your privacy, having a fly-on-the-wall documentary about your private life is not the message you should be sending!"
