Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal runs the risk of being disputed: "Never speak to William again."
Harry is scheduled to return to the UK this year and could film for a Netflix documentary, it has been claimed. The Duke of Sussex will return to Britain in late 2021 to plan ahead for the Invictus Games for military veterans in the Netherlands. He remains passionate about the Invictus Games, which he established in 2013 after witnessing similar US Warrior Games for veterans with physical and mental disabilities.
While he pursues independent projects now, he is no longer an active member of the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan Markle's deal with Netflix has not pleased everyone at The Firm.
In July it was reported that Harry's brother Prince William is "dreading" what the couple might do as part of their work with the streaming giant.
Palace insider Duncan Larcombe also added that he believes the Sussexes are "cashing in" on the royal brand.
He said, “What do you do next? That's a question Prince William dreads the answer to. "
"Ultimately, they have to find a way to do their job in Los Angeles without negotiating with the actual brand."
He added: “But by continually talking about royalty, they are capitalizing on the brand.
"If they spend their entire career selling that real brand, they will never speak to William again."
The Sussexes struck a deal with Netflix after they gave up their royal duties and moved to California last year.
As part of their deal with the streaming giant, the couple planned to make documentaries, documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children's programming.
Meghan announced last month that she is creating a new animated series for Netflix called "Pearl."
Archewell Productions, the company formed by Harry and Meghan, said in a statement that the show will focus on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by a variety of influential women in history.
The series will be produced by Meghan, and she said in a statement that she is "delighted that Archewell Productions ... is bringing you this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history."
The royal family's reaction to the Netflix deal could be down to The Firm's performance in "The Crown."
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said in December that Prince Charles may have been frustrated that the past continues to be brought to light.
She said: “I'm absolutely sure that he doesn't see that sudden revived interest in her as a threat at all.
"I think [there's] more of a frustration that the past keeps getting dug up when he's trying to move on."
A TV insider told The Sun that William and other royals were unhappy with Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal in part because of "The Crown."
They said: “William and other royals are incredibly uncomfortable with this drama and the livid Harry is now associated with the company that is broadcasting it.
“It is the latest in a long list of sticking points between the siblings, but there are few issues more sensitive than the plight of his mother.
"Viewers of The Crown, which is a candid look at the queen's reign, would not expect the writers to ignore something that is now a matter of public domain.
"But the Royal Family would not expect one of their own to take the money made from the proceeds of programs like this either."
