Lady Campbell spoke on Patrick Christie's GB News programme to discuss her thoughts on the recently disclosed information. "I think Netflix has pulled a really interesting move where Harry's concerned," the woman said.
Netflix has bought Harry's silence, and let's wait and see what happens because 'The Crown' has been a huge success for Netflix. How long Harry and Meghan's association with Netflix will last will be interesting because what they've done is they've bought Harry's silence by dangling a few million carrots underneath his nose." She added that Megan's game plan seems to involve isolating Harry from his support system, family, and friends, creating an intriguing dynamic.
Phil Dampier, also part of the discussion, mentioned that Harry has publicly stated that he watches "The Crown" series, unlike other members of the royal family, implying that Netflix might have indeed bought his silence. Dampier expressed a hope that the show sticks to the facts, allowing a new audience to learn about Diana. Rumors are circulating that Netflix will sever ties with Harry and Meghan once "The Crown" reaches its conclusion.
In the meantime, the release of David Beckham's Netflix documentary has boosted the popularity of the iconic couple, overshadowing Harry and Meghan. The Beckham series, which chronicles David's rise to football stardom, has been among Netflix's top-watched programs since its release in early October. This has led to a resurgence of interest in the Beckhams and has strained the already tense relationship between the Beckhams and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Google Trends data indicates a substantial increase in associated searches related to the sporting icon's documentary, surpassing the modest uptick in interest accompanying the Harry and Meghan series. On Rotten Tomatoes, Beckham's documentary boasts an average audience score of 98%, while Harry and Meghan's series lags behind at 19%. It's worth noting that the Duke and Duchess's candid TV appearances led to a decline in their favorability in the United States, with Prince Harry's rating falling 45 points and Meghan's dropping 36 points between December 2022 and January 2023. This has prompted headlines like "The more Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say, the less Americans like them" in Newsweek.
The Beckham documentary's success contrasts with a report from The Daily Mail in July, suggesting that the friendship between the couples had soured following a tense phone call and allegations of information leakage.
