Netflixs U-turn on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | TV Shows

Netflix continues to support Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, with new projects on the horizon, but insiders suggest their charitable ambitions may be fading.

RadarOnline.com reveals that, despite recent rumors that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex faced the axe, Netflix remains committed to investing heavily in Meghan.

“Netflix isn’t cutting them loose – there’s still strong interest, particularly in Meghan,” a production source told the outlet.

“The funding is far from drying up.”

The couple’s five-year Netflix contract, reportedly valued at up to $100million, has helped finance their luxurious Montecito, California lifestyle.

However, while their original contract nears its end, their partnership with the streaming platform continues strong.

A well-connected insider revealed: “There are discussions about seasonal specials around Thanksgiving and Christmas linked to her brand. If Meghan’s on board, Netflix is ready to support it.”

But while Meghan’s side hustle seems full steam ahead, other projects are reportedly teetering. Industry insiders say the couple’s media outfit, Archewell Productions, is under pressure to cut costs – with one source estimating it costs around $3 million a year to run.

“Now that the exclusive deal isn’t footing the bill, they’ll need to scale back,” the source warned.

Harry remains part of the new arrangement, though his past efforts like Heart of Invictus and Harry’s Polo have fallen flat. The latter reportedly ranked a dismal 3,436th in Netflix’s internal viewership charts.

Still, the prince is pushing new ideas, with an upcoming docuseries focused on mental health and environmental issues.

“These subjects really matter to him, and Netflix is still open to hearing his ideas,” a source said.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand – backed in part by Netflix – continues to spark debate. While products like her $30 rosé sold out quickly, critics aren’t convinced.

“They didn’t make a lot of it,” fashion journalist Lauren Sherman told Puck. “It’s an excruciatingly small business.”

She added, “People will buy a sweater she wears – but they’d be embarrassed to bring her wine to dinner.”

And while Netflix may still be backing the Sussexes, sources close to the couple say their charitable ventures are on the chopping block.

“They’re juggling so many projects – Netflix, Archewell, their charity work – it’s a lot to handle,” one source admitted. “Their philanthropic efforts are ambitious, but it’s clear they can’t keep all the balls in the air at once,” reports RadarOnline.com.

Another source cautioned: “The charity work requires just as much focus as the productions, and spreading themselves too thin could affect both. They want to paint themselves as saints, but it’s the charity work that will be dumped first so they can continue banking cash.”
