Story

In July 2025, Netflix announced that it would not renew its lucrative $100 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, set to expire in September after five projects produced under their partnership. The deal, which began in 2020 after the couple stepped back from royal duties in the United Kingdom, included various productions, with mixed levels of success. The unsatisfactory performance of most shows, including the much-watched docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' and other lesser-known projects, contributed to Netflix's decision to end the collaboration. With speculation surrounding the future of 'With Love, Meghan' and 'Meet Me At The Lake,' it's unclear what lies ahead for the couple's storytelling ventures. Despite this setback, reports indicate that Netflix may consider collaborative efforts with the duo if a suitable project arises in the future. The eventual end of this agreement marks a turning point after the couple aimed to capitalize on their status for profit through media engagement.
