In pictures from Beyoncé's show at the SoFi Stadium in California on Monday night, Meghan was seen dancing and conversing while seated beside Mr. Sarandos and Miss Avant. One possible topic of discussion could have been Meghan's husband, Prince Harry's, Invictus Games documentary, which received criticism for failing to make Netflix's top 10 lists in both Britain and the United States.
Despite the documentary's performance, the body language between Meghan and Ted Sarandos suggested a different dynamic. A YouTuber even claimed that Ted had instructed Meghan to leave the empty seat next to him during a brief 10-second photo op. According to this channel, Meghan's presence beside Ted Sarandos was indeed brief, lasting only 10 seconds before she relocated to a different seat. This might explain why there are only a limited number of photos showing Meghan alongside Ted Sarandos.
Speculation arose that Ted Sarandos and his wife might have felt uncomfortable sharing the frame with the former actress, leading to her being asked to vacate the seat, even though it remained unoccupied.
Meghan's behavior at events has occasionally raised eyebrows, as she tends to find humor in the moment and clap randomly when not receiving attention. In a video by Lady C, it was suggested that Netflix now views Meghan as more bankable following the perceived failure of the Invictus documentary. This shift in perception might have affected her interaction with Netflix executives.
It's worth noting that last month, Netflix reportedly paid three million pounds for the film rights to a romantic novel that Meghan and Harry will produce as part of their 80 million-pound deal with the streaming service. Initially, it was believed that the couple personally funded this acquisition, but an insider clarified that Netflix had purchased the rights for them under their Archewell Productions arm.
The novel, "Carly Fortunes to Meet Me at the Lake," aligns with Meghan and Harry's interest in love stories and rom-coms. The couple has been eager to share their own love story, as seen in their 2022 Netflix documentary, "Harry and Meghan."
However, despite their lucrative deals and public attention, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced challenges. Their Invictus Games documentary failed to gain significant traction, and a royal expert, Tom Bauer, warned that their success may be short-lived, especially in America.
He noted that while they have created substantial publicity and revenue through Netflix, Spotify, and books, the question remains whether they can sustain their brand in the long term. Bauer suggested that the couple's popularity might be fading, emphasizing the transitory nature of celebrity success.
