The Harkles' only significant remaining arrangement is the £81 million deal with Netflix. However, The Sun reported that Netflix is unlikely to renew the Sussexes' contract, believing that their potential has been exhausted since "Megxit."
The Sussexes had signed lucrative deals, worth over £100 million, with Netflix and Spotify, along with Prince Harry's three-book deal with Penguin Random House.
Netflix reportedly paid the majority of the cash injection, shelling out a staggering £81 million for Harry and Meghan's bombshell docu-series in December, which became Netflix's second highest-ranked documentary ever.
Although there are no plans for a follow-up series, Harry and Meghan are reportedly in talks to front their latest documentary for a streaming titan, focusing on meeting communities in South Africa. The series is expected to highlight humanitarian efforts, with Meghan raising awareness about safe birthing practices.
The source revealed that the production will be a collaborative project between Netflix and the couple's Archewell Foundation. Megan is particularly eager to share information about safe childbirth with the women she meets.
This reported project in South Africa will be the couple's third collaboration with Netflix, following the six-part docu-series in December 2022 and the "Live to Lead" series, which aired on New Year's Eve 2022. It will document the couple's return to South Africa after their royal tour in 2019, during which they visited townships around Cape Town and interacted with local community members.
However, there are claims that some executives now perceive Meghan as detached from economic reality and living in her own bubble. They feel that she and Harry can offer nothing more than complaints about the royal family, which has become tiresome.
Despite the criticism, the Sussexes are reportedly committed to fulfilling their contractual obligations with Netflix. Harry will feature in an Invictus Games series, with screenings planned for later this summer.
Megan, on the other hand, is said to be in talks with other companies after the cancellation of Archewell Podcast by mutual agreement. Bill Simmons, head of podcast innovation at Spotify, expressed his thoughts on his own podcast, stating that launching the podcast with Harry would have been a better choice.
