“I am quite missing in her, because I thought it was, it doesn’t seem to be,” Elliott continued.
The child author said Daily mail She saw the news that Markle had sold a television program to Netflix that was seen “very, very similar to an idea he had for a television program, watching Pearl, my character.”
Elliott explained that his book, “Pearl Power,” stars “a character named Pearl, who is a bit feminist.”
“When I saw that Meghan was producing this television program called PearlI contacted a copyright lawyer, ”said the author, added that the lawyer later wrote to Netflix, as well as Archewell de Markle and Prince Harry Harry Hills.
In his letter, Elliott Lawyer said: “The similarities between its proposal animation series and my client’s work seem too many and too striking to be a mere coincidence.”
“There was no answer,” Elliott said. “I sent more lawyers, and it was after that when I saw that Netflix had dropped the series, Pearl. “
“I was slippery because I had dropped the leg, but also sad that it was my idea now, because I had to work on the idea, it would seem that Meghan would copy it,” the author lamented.
Elliot is used to say that Markle “claims to be a feminist,” and adds: “She says she defends women, but her people come out there the creative ideas of any people.”
Netflix animated Pearl The series was first announced in July 2021 as part of a $ 100 million agreement between the transmission giant and Archewell Productions, with Markle appointed as the program executive.
But, according to the reports, Elliott begins to develop “Pearl Power” in an animated series already in 2018. Moreover, Elliott had already written three books “Pearl Power”, published in 2014, 2015 and 2016, for the time Markle’s Pearl The series was announced.
“Meghan is a feminist who defends other women, so he disappointed me and confused me what the Netflix proposition program of Netflix was to my own pearl power that had created the leg seven before,” said the British author to Daily mail.
“Or, of course, I can’t know if the team had seen and prohibited inspired by him, but the similarities were too great to ignore,” he added.
Above all, Elliott said that what “sad” was the fact that his “objection was never recognized” by Netflix or Archewell. It was simply ignored, and the show was dropped.
“Neter Netflix or Archewell answered me when I would have loved to have contributed and collaborated,” he said.
