The Celeb Report can reveal Harry’s team have been frantically asking Netflix to postpone the production.

It comes after claims Harry and wife Meghan are seeking “extensive cuts” to the show and are “at odds” with producers.

Harry’s memoir Spare was set to be published in tandem with the show.

But publishers have agreed to postpone its release until January 10 after he needed to make last-minute changes.

A source said of the TV series: “Harry simply does not want it coming out before Christmas.”

The Celeb Report understands Netflix initially resisted the couple’s attempts to push the series back. But it is not known if a final decision has been made.

The Sussexes have been followed around by camera teams as part of their £113million TV deal.

Large chunks of the ­Netflix show were filmed before the death of the Queen.

But cameras were banned from the Windsor estate for her funeral.

Details have been kept under wraps, but Meghan has described the series as a “love story” and a “rom-com”.
