It looks like Netflix is done doing business with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to reports, the streaming giant chose not to renew a massive $100 million deal with the Sussexes. There could still be one tempting project on the table, but there’s a catch! Harry and Meghan have to part ways for that. Excuse me? Dive in to get the full scoop.
Prince Harry: Netflix Closes the Royal Chapter
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship has been under scrutiny lately, and everyone believes their marriage won’t last long. Additionally, Journalist Marina Hyde thinks Meghan and Harry’s relationship has become a strategic waiting game. Why? She speculates streaming platforms might be waiting for them to call it quits.
According to sources, the royal divorce can pull in heavy viewership. After all, the couple’s 2022 documentary Harry & Meghan topped the charts. However, Meghan’s latest Netflix show, With Love, Meghan couldn’t follow suit and met with harsh criticism from critics. But that’s not all!
People didn’t tune in, and Netflix’s own comedians roasted the Duchess for faking it. These include Whitney Cummings, Christina Pazsitzky, and Katherine Ryan. Some of them even claimed that the show very subtly mocked the British royal family. Moreover, those tea-making moments and appearances are an open letter to Buckingham Palace.
All About Meghan’s ‘Perfect Plan’
Meanwhile, Hyde and her podcast co-host Richard Osman didn’t hold back. Firstly, they found the show’s concept “fatally flawed.“ Next, they suggested Meghan start acting again if she wants to reclaim her glory. Osman even claimed that Markle could “name her price“ if she returned to Hollywood.
However, Hyde has a different approach to Meghan’s grand comeback. The winning formula is simple: marry Harry, have two kids, and then file for divorce. With this, Meghan could easily live the “Julia Roberts of the 40s“ life, but she hasn’t done so. As for the Duke, he has called out the media for constantly fueling divorce speculations.
Harry addressed the issue at the DealBook Summit in New York. He insisted that the gossip is just baseless chatter from trolls who want him and Meghan to break up. So, what’s next for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Currently, their marriage stands pretty solid despite all the noise.
