Netflix insider's brutal swipe at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as 'deal is over'
A Netflix insider suggests that the streaming service has ended its collaboration with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry due to disappointing viewership of their content.
Netflix seems to have decided to move on from its partnership with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following the poor performance of their produced content, notably the series 'With Love, Meghan'. Reports indicate that viewership for the second series dropped significantly, prompting concerns about the viability of a third season. Insiders have revealed that the atmosphere at Netflix regarding Harry and Meghan is quite negative, leading to the belief that the collaboration has reached a definitive conclusion.
The couple's production company, Archewell Productions, had worked with Netflix in an attempt to leverage their celebrity status to create content that resonates with audiences. However, the lackluster ratings of their recent offerings have raised questions about their appeal within an increasingly competitive streaming landscape. The royals' transition from their ceremonial duties in the UK to establishing a commercial footing in Hollywood has been fraught with challenges, and this latest development signals potential difficulties in creating successful projects in the future.
Sources close to the couple have indicated that the relationship between them and Netflix has not unfolded as a 'fairy tale', stressing the complexities involved in their move to the entertainment industry. This turn of events could have implications not only for their future projects but also for their public image, as they continue to navigate their identity away from royal expectations and towards a self-sustained brand in the US media environment.
