Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk losing their £100m deal with Netflix. A royal expert said it was a repeat of the issue the Sussexes had with Spotify last year, which caused them great embarrassment internationally. Tom Quinn revealed to the Mirror that King Charles’ second son and his wife would “find it impossible to recover from the blow of losing their contract with Netflix”. There has been growing speculation that their five-year deal with the streaming platform, which is due to be renewed next year, is on the verge of being cut.
Quinn recalled the Harry and Meghan Spotify fiascowhen their contract was terminated before expiration due to lack of content, a decision that left the couple embarrassed and determined to avoid further flops. “It is very likely – the expert recalled – that this is a repetition of the problem that the couple had with the Spotify contract, which was abruptly interrupted in 2023 after Harry and Meghan failed, according to Spotify, to meet the “productivity parameters “.
Still reeling from the Spotify chaos, the Duchess of Sussex is determined to succeed in her business ventures despite the setbacks, Quinn says. “It has always been Meghan’s dream to build a hugely successful business venture and she still believes, even after the Spotify debacle, that she has the drive and talent to make it happen. Losing the contract with Netflix would be a tough blow to recover from. The last thing Meghan wants is the humiliation of having to make a future deal with a smaller company.”
Harry and Meghan they signed a mega £100m deal with Netflix in 2020, shortly after declaring their intention to step down as senior members of the royal family. The couple moved to the United States and settled in Montecito, California, but left i fans disappointed with their poor production on Netflix. They starred in a documentary series, which offered a glimpse into their lives in the US behind the scenes.
