While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are always in the headlines for their controversial relationship with the Royal family, the couple has grabbed the limelight due to reports of OTT giant Netflix cancelling their $100 million content partnership with their Archewell production company.
After stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, the couple inked a five-year deal with Netflix. As per Royal Insider Richard Fitzwilliams, the content of Harry and Meghan has impacted the conclusion of Netflix’s The Crown.
“(The Sussex deal) runs out next year and Netflix are no longer producing the series of The Crown, as they previously were. They might therefore have less interest in the Sussexes,” he told the Daily Mail.
“Meghan’s programme for Netflix on cookery and entertaining and her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard and Harry’s series for Netflix on polo, show some much-needed activity (but) they clearly need more A-list endorsements,” he added.
