During an interview on Good Morning America, which aired as a 20-minute program, Prince Harry's presence was minimal, with the majority of the footage focused on his involvement with Invictus. However, the documentary was filled with commentary from various individuals, presenting a rather negative perspective on the royal family and the British media. To the surprise of Netflix, this program ended up on Hulu, a competing streaming platform.
According to reports, a reporter spoke with Netflix employees who claimed they had no prior knowledge of Prince Harry's appearance on the rival platform and were taken aback by the news. While the incident might not necessarily result in contractual difficulties, it does raise questions about transparency and public perception. Rebecca English expressed her thoughts, saying, "I'm not sure it will cause him any contractual difficulties, but it's not a great look."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's deal with Netflix, signed in 2020, is reportedly worth £80 million and spans five years. Under this agreement, the couple has already launched their own documentary series, "Harry and Meghan," on the streaming platform. Additionally, they have announced two other projects: "Heart of Invictus," which focuses on Prince Harry's Invictus Games, and "Live to Lead," a series about inspiring world leaders. The deal emphasizes their commitment to producing documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows, and children's programs. Furthermore, there has been speculation regarding Meghan Markle's potential release of a tell-all memoir, following the success of Prince Harry's book, "Spare," which was published on January 10th, 2023.
