Netflix cameras will likely accompany Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their trip to the UK.
Next month, the Sussexes will return to the UK for the first time in three months (with a stop in Germany while in Europe) after visiting their home country for the historic platinum jubilee of Prince Harry's grandmother. (While in the UK, they will attend the One Young World Summit in Manchester on September 5, visit Germany for the Invictus Games 2023 preview event (the Games will be held in Düsseldorf next year), and the Well Child Awards on September 8. He will return to the UK for the Wellchild Awards on September 8.
However, according to the Daily Express, this time in the UK, Harry and Meghan Markle are "likely" to have Netflix cameras in tow, unlike the June Platinum Jubilee, where cameras were banned.
Royal commentator Nathalie Oliveri says it is very likely that Harry and Meghan will have a camera crew with them this time, as there are "no restrictions" from the royal family.
"It is very likely that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be accompanied by a production crew to Germany and the UK in the coming weeks," she wrote on 9Honey (as reported by The Daily Express). 'After all, there are no restrictions imposed by the royal family on what can and cannot be filmed during this visit.'
Olivieri is referring to rumors that cameras were not allowed during the four-day jubilee festivities honoring Her Majesty the Queen's historic 70th year on the throne.
"Netflix cameras were reportedly barred from covering Prince Harry and Meghan's visit during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June," she says. Crews were not given formal permission for the four-day weekend and warned that they would be "moved" if they were spotted near any royal events. However, next month, no such rule will be enforced on the Sussexes, and we expect that to change significantly."
Back in April, the couple was joined by cameras at the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands.
A spokesman for the Sussexes said of their upcoming visit to the UK and Germany, "Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are delighted to be visiting several charities close to their hearts in early September."
At the One Young World Summit - an event that brings together young leaders from over 190 countries - Princess Meghan will deliver the keynote address at the opening ceremony. Harry and Meghan will also meet with a delegation working on gender equality.
The next day, September 6, they will head to Germany before returning to the UK for the Wellchild Awards, this time with Harry giving a speech.
The trip comes at a time when Harry is in the midst of a court battle over police protection of his family while in the UK.
