Hours after it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to star in a reality show for Netflix, the royals have spoken out to address these rumors.

It all started when a source claimed to The Sun that Meghan and Harry are eager to star on a reality show so that the public can see the “real” them.

“It will be tasteful. They want to give people a glimpse into their lives,” the source said, adding that they want to “shine a light on people and causes around the world”.

“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,” the insider added.

The source went on to claim that Meghan and Harry would be followed by cameras for three months to film the show.

“Much of the docuseries will be about their philanthropy rather than what they get up to behind closed doors,” the source alleged. “But it will still be a fascinating insight and Meghan hopes viewers will get to see the real her.”

Meghan and Harry, however, have since denied that these rumors are true.

“The Duke and Duchess are not taking part in any reality shows,” a spokesman for the couple told PEOPLE magazine in a statement.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward had expressed doubts that the rumors were true, however, given the fact that Harry and Meghan are known for their love of privacy.

“We were told they had gone to California for greater privacy so it all appears rather hypocritical,” Seward said. “It is extraordinary. This is exactly what they said they wouldn’t do. The more they talk about themselves the more people will want them to do just that and won’t be interested in anything else they have to offer.”

Public relations expert Mark Borkowski, however, thought the reality show might actually be a good idea.

“Viewers will be interested to see what they are up to but there needs to be authenticity,” he said. “They have laid out a grand plan and are fulfilling it. They are doing this all on their own terms. Their determination to have their voice heard sustains them. The big hits on Netflix are ones based in reality so it makes sense. But this is something the Royal Family will find hard to stomach.”
