Harry and Meghan face challenges after Netflix deal fallout

In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a significant £100 million deal with Netflix shortly after stepping down as senior royals. The couple moved to Montecito, California, but have faced criticism for their limited output on the platform, leading to speculation about the future of their contract, which is due for renewal next year. Royal expert Tom Quinn has suggested that losing this deal would be devastating for them, especially following their early termination of a Spotify contract due to unmet productivity expectations. Quinn highlighted that the couple's public image has suffered due to these setbacks, and they are under pressure to deliver more content to meet Netflix's expectations. The couple's previous experience with Spotify has made them wary of facing another failure, which could further damage their reputation and ambitions in the entertainment industry. Meghan, in particular, has aspirations to build a successful commercial enterprise, and the loss of the Netflix contract would be a significant blow to those dreams. Despite the challenges, reports indicate that Harry and Meghan are actively working on new projects for Netflix. Meghan is developing a cookery and lifestyle show inspired by her brand, American Riviera Orchard, while Harry is producing a documentary focused on international polo, a passion of his. These new endeavors may help them regain favor with Netflix and avoid the pitfalls they encountered with their previous contracts. The couple's future in the entertainment industry remains uncertain, as they strive to balance their ambitions with the expectations of major streaming platforms. The outcome of their Netflix deal will likely have lasting implications for their careers and public perception.
