Elliott’s Pearl Power books were published in 2014, 2015, 2018 and were considered for TV adaptation in 2019.
In July 2021, Netflix and Markle announced their venture.
Apparently, at that time, Elliott’s legal team had sent a letter to Markle’s team alleging a potential copyright infringement.
The letter read, “The similarities between your proposed animation series and my client’s work appear to be too many and too striking to be mere coincidence.”
