Meghan Markle & Harry Feeling The Heat, Here’s Why!
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly under pressure to deliver successful content for Netflix after their recent projects failed to make an impact. We know that two of Sussexes’ ventures didn’t garner attention from the viewers, and the duo seems to be feeling the heat right now. A source, while speaking to InTouch Weekly, said that the estranged royal couple has been paid a huge sum by Netflix, and they haven’t lived up to it.
They also added, “Whether they admit it or not, the pressure is on for the Sussexes to deliver a hit.” Harry and Meghan’s latest Netflix documentary, Polo, failed to impress the fans or the critics. This series focused on the Elite sport, Polo, and was criticised for being too niche to attract a broad audience. The insider also noted that Prince Harry personally felt frustrated about the lack of enthusiasm from viewers for this show.
This isn’t the first time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing scrutiny over their Netflix deal. The duo’s 2022 docuseries broke Netflix’s record for the highest viewing hours of any documentary title in a premiere week. However, their follow-up ventures have failed to achieve the same success, which has raised questions about their ability to produce more engaging content for the platform.
