When Harry and Meghan first partnered with Netflix, it was announced that their initial project would be "Heart of Invictus," a series highlighting the competition for wounded service members.
However, their own docu-series about their lives, titled "Harry & Meghan," took precedence and was released in December 2022. In January 2023, Netflix confirmed on Twitter that "Heart of Invictus" was scheduled for release in summer 2023.
Rumors began circulating on social media, claiming that the project had been canceled, with some attributing it to alleged demands by Meghan, suggesting she turned it into a personal fashion show rather than focusing on the veterans. However, Netflix clarified that the initial announcement about "Heart of Invictus" remained accurate, and the documentary would indeed be released in the summer of 2023.
Furthermore, it is expected that the Sussexes will collaborate on another Netflix project, which will document their visits to communities in South Africa, highlighting their efforts in house-building and humanitarian work. Meghan Markle's involvement will also shed light on raising awareness about safe birthing practices.
Royal author Alexander Larman suggested that Meghan Markle may be realizing the fleeting nature of her brand and fame. In an article for The Spectator, Larman expressed his opinion that Meghan has always desired global celebrity and that this recent development does little to tarnish her A-list status. Larman suggested that her primary goal appears to be acquiring and maintaining her fame at the highest level possible.
