Meghan couldn't help but feel intensely jealous of Chelsy and realized that Harry's desire to go to Africa might be motivated by his lingering feelings for his former flame. Africa holds sentimental value for Harry as it is where he met Chelsy, who still resides there. Now, he plans to embark on a solo journey to Africa for a new Netflix documentary.
This decision comes at a critical time for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with questions looming over the future of their lucrative $100 million Netflix deal. The pressure is on for the couple to deliver compelling content that captivates audiences.
The collapse of their Spotify deal has only intensified this pressure. Harry's potential African journey will inevitably draw comparisons to his mother, Princess Diana, who traveled to Africa to campaign against landmines shortly before her tragic death.
The exact focus of the documentary remains unknown, and due to the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike, Harry's plans are temporarily on hold. However, it is clear that Africa holds a special place in Harry's heart. In 2019, he followed in his mother's footsteps by walking through a minefield in Angola, a powerful gesture to raise awareness about landmines. This time, he aims to delve into Africa's national parks and wildlife conservation efforts for his planned documentary.
Harry's passion for Africa has been evident throughout his life, and he even took Meghan camping in the continent during one of their early dates. He has established a charity called Sentebale, meaning "forget-me-not," in Lesotho, along with Prince Seeiso, the younger brother of the country's king. Princess Diana was the first to forge a public bond with Africa, and now Harry seeks to carry on her legacy.
As for their Netflix partnership, rumors of trouble between the streaming giant and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been circulating. The abrupt end of their $20 million Spotify deal in June only adds to the uncertainty. However, a source familiar with their Netflix deal insists that things are going well, and they will continue to collaborate on various projects. One such project is "Heart of Invictus," a docu-series about the annual games for service members and veterans, founded by Harry, which is set to air on Netflix in August.
The pressure is mounting on the Sussexes to deliver compelling content ideas for Netflix, especially after their failed attempt to come up with innovative ideas for their canceled Spotify podcast. Executives were reportedly puzzled by the proposed pitches, including interviewing prominent figures like Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, Vladimir Putin, and Pope Francis on various topics.
While the couple is reworking their ideas, reports suggest they have a drama in the works about Charles Dickens' character, Miss Havisham, retelling her story as a strong woman rather than the jilted bride portrayed in "Great Expectations." Both a representative for the Sussexes and a spokesperson for Netflix declined to comment on the matter.
The unfolding drama surrounding Meghan, Harry, and their media ventures continues to captivate audiences, leaving many intrigued about the future direction of their endeavors.
