Royal watchers are voicing strong opinions following reports that Meghan Markle may be working behind the scenes to extend her Netflix partnership, which is due to expire next month. According to Fox News Digital, several royal experts believe the Duchess of Sussex is quietly in talks with the streaming giant in hopes of continuing their collaboration.
Meghan and Prince Harry signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix in 2020, producing documentaries such as Harry & Meghan and Live to Lead. However, questions have been raised about whether the couple has delivered enough content to justify the lucrative agreement.
The speculation has sparked heated responses from royal fans online. One critic wrote, “Harry and Meghan have nothing of substance to offer except alleged ‘royal scandal’ and airing supposed royal family dirty linen.”
Another commenter urged Netflix to end the relationship altogether, saying, “Netflix. Please don’t waste your money or your time; the only people watching her show are her three friends. No one wants to watch a copycat, liar, or fake person. Go away, Meghan Markle. Harry is about to leave you anyway.”
A third royal watcher suggested Meghan may already be planning new projects based on personal drama. “She has already shopped for a deal on a book about her divorce, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she is shopping a sequel to Harry & Meghan on this,” they claimed.
“She probably has already been secretly filming Harry and creating drama to appear to be a victim. Harry wants a reconciliation with his family, and some of this could be great content for a reality show.” Another critic directly addressed Netflix, referencing past controversies. “Please, Netflix, no deal with Meghan Markle.
You are slowly improving after your disastrous relationship with the Obamas caused millions to cancel their memberships. Markle doesn’t have anything that would inspire customers to stay with you. She’s no longer a Royal, she’s just a loudmouth lefty with very little talent who is loved mostly by herself.”
While neither Meghan nor Netflix has publicly confirmed any negotiations, the end of the current contract could mark a pivotal moment for the Sussexes’ media ventures. Industry insiders have previously noted that the couple’s initial deal was based on their star power and global public interest following their departure from royal duties in 2020.
Whether Netflix decides to renew the partnership or move on, the discussion underscores the ongoing polarizing effect Meghan and Harry have on audiences — and the high stakes for both their personal brand and the streaming platform’s investment strategy.
