Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have a renewed Netflix deal, but it could reportedly worry the royals. Reports had previously alleged that the Sussexes’ deal with the streaming giant would end in September. Then, on Monday, news of an extension of its “creative partnership” with their media company, Archewell Productions, finally broke. An expert weighed in on their first-look “multi-year” deal with the platform, explaining why it could “concern” the royal family members.
Royals may worry about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry doing more documentaries, says expert
The Daily Express reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s renewed Netflix deal could pose challenges for the royals. Expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes this update likely worries the royal family, as it means they might be doing more documentaries. This news might excite Harry and Markle’s fans, but the same doesn’t look like the case with the rest of their family. The duo’s first-look “multi-year” deal suggests that they would present ideas to the streaming giant first before taking them to other services.
Fitzwilliams claimed that Harry and Markle will “welcome the new Netflix deal as far as it goes,” but for “far less than the original.” He thinks that their agreement “will concern the Royal Family as they don’t trust the Sussexes and they did it (a damaging series) before.” Furthermore, the expert dubbed it a “deplorable” move but alleged that “it would be very lucrative” for the couple. Highlighting their previous tell-all documentary, he also hoped that they wouldn’t plan “another such series.”
The news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix deal came on the heels of weeks-long speculation. Nevertheless, recent reports have alleged that the updated deal won’t pay them as much as the original $100 million contract. Moreover, the couple’s modest new deal will have different conditions from the previous agreement.
The New York Post stated that Markle announced the latest partnership in a statement. Additionally, the Sussexes’ media company, Archewell Productions, announced that “With Love, Meghan” will air on Netflix later this month. A new holiday special titled “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration” will then premiere during the holiday season in December.
