An urgent warning has been issued to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry regarding their forthcoming Netflix series. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who signed a $100 million agreement, are set to release two new series on the streaming service after previously releasing three documentaries.
The first series will focus on the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship, while the second will provide unprecedented access to the world of professional Polo. Veteran BBC Royal correspondent Michael Cole emphasized the need for Harry and Meghan to prove their worth to Netflix, noting that the company desires quality content and unique experiences.
However, there are concerns about the suitability of Polo as a subject matter, given its exclusivity and high cost. Polo is a sport associated with privilege, and Cole expressed doubts about its inclusivity, particularly in comparison to the Sussexes' efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity.
Despite their royal status serving as a marketable asset, Harry and Meghan must continually demonstrate their value to Netflix. Their production firm, Archewell Productions, will produce the two new TV shows, with details expected to be revealed in the coming months.
Royal expert Phil Dampier cautioned against overextension, suggesting that focusing on one project might be wiser. He speculated that financial pressures may be driving Harry and Meghan's involvement in multiple ventures, including rumored film adaptations and their Netflix contract.
As speculation mounts about their financial situation, Harry and Meghan are under pressure to deliver successful projects while maintaining their reputation and financial stability. With their Netflix contract set to expire next year, the couple faces scrutiny over their business decisions and the success of their ventures.
