Initially, the couple's first project with Netflix was planned to be "Invictus," a series focused on wounded military personnel competing in the games. However, Prince Harry has reportedly requested Netflix to remove all footage of Meghan Markle from the "Invictus" games documentary. This decision seems to underscore the prince's desire to focus on his solo career.
Rumors about the cancellation of the project spread on social media, with some attributing it to an alleged personal request from Meghan. This has led to speculation that Meghan may have overshadowed the project, prioritizing her own interests rather than highlighting the experiences of veterans.
Despite the controversies surrounding them, Meghan and Harry are still expected to document their visits to communities in South Africa and collaborate on another Netflix project focusing on their humanitarian and community-building efforts. Meghan's participation in this project is seen as an opportunity to raise awareness of her own philanthropic endeavors.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced criticism and scrutiny in recent years, especially following their revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Their relations with the Royal Family have been strained, with some claiming that they have gone too far against tradition.
Not only has their Netflix deal encountered challenges, but their deal with Spotify has also run into trouble, with Spotify referring to Harry as an extortionist and pulling out of their $20 million agreement.
As public opinion wavers against them, the couple finds themselves in a difficult situation. Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has publicly criticized them for misunderstanding what is expected of them in major deals with streaming platforms.
While Meghan has kept a low profile this year, some speculate that she is coming to terms with the consequences of her actions and struggles to find a way out of controversy. The perception of their brand has shifted, and public sentiment towards them appears to be increasingly negative.
As they navigate these complexities, the future of their business with Netflix and other platforms hangs in the balance. The dynamics of their relationship with the royal family remain a subject of curiosity, and their choices will undoubtedly shape how they are perceived in the future.
