We’re back with a serious warning for the newly crowned King Charles III: beware the vengeful wrath of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Those two aren't done scorching the royal earth just yet. If you thought Harry’s memoir Spare and their jaw-dropping Oprah interview were the peak of their score-settling against the Firm, you'd be sorely mistaken. This is just the eerie calm before their next PR hurricane makes landfall, sending splashes of hot tea scorching every last royal.
Royal biographer Tom Bower, one of the preeminent voices documenting the madness of the Sussexes' royal exit and perpetual grudges, has rung the alarm bells. This man knows the inner workings and personal vendettas driving Meghan's mind like few others.
In a recent interview, Bower stated he fears more royal bombshells are on the horizon from the ambitious Montecito Mavericks. His warning signals are rooted in Harry and Meghan's lucrative but seemingly rocky deal with Netflix, which could create major money woes for the renegade royals. After ditching their duties as working royals in the infamous Megxit back in 2020, the Sussexes struck a $100 million development pact with the streaming giant. For that sum, Harry and Meghan were supposed to launch a plethora of content, but so far, they’ve produced almost nothing of substance. With their Netflix deal potentially expiring soon, Bower suspects we could see Harry and Meghan unleash fresh hell on the royal family.
The same private family members they’ve accused of racism, cruelty, and archaic traditions may be targeted again. According to Bower, Harry and Meghan will always chase the money and media spotlight, no matter the collateral damage to Harry’s family. This should terrify King Charles and his slimmed-down monarchy moving forward, as their exposes of royal life have made mega bucks. If their Netflix deal runs low on cash, you better believe they’ll tap into the deepest vats of royal gossip to sell a few more salacious bios and bombshells.
At this point, does anyone really think there’s a line Harry and Meghan won’t cross against the royals as long as they can spin it as truth-telling heroism? They’ve dragged the late Queen Elizabeth, accused royals of denying mental health support, and nearly shattered Charles and William’s relationship. Nothing is too sacred. If their Netflix money dries up, expect more explosive content aimed at the royal family.
Renowned journalists like Bower are essentially validating fears from royal quarters that Harry and Meghan's latest schemes will include dragging more royal family members with each new project. Their initial $100 million Netflix pact may have been a splashy headline grabber in 2020, but most viewers are over the stale monarchy narrative. To squeeze the last drops of monetization potential, the playbook calls for doubling down on explosive family gossip. King Charles should be camped out in Windsor Castle, shaking in his luxurious slippers.
Between Harry’s memoir Spare and Meghan’s rumored plans to repackage herself as a female empowerment guru, each new Sussex project seems more damaging to the crown. There could be even more unrevealed royal wounds Harry and Meghan might exploit for another few million. From unauthorized follow-ups to Spare to scripted series depicting alleged microaggressions, nothing’s too scandalous if the price is high enough.
Meghan is reportedly planning to temporarily pause her podcast to milk royal controversies for other parts of the content economy. Considering her ill-fated Spotify deal just imploded, expect her to dredge up more scorched-earth narratives on new platforms. Harry and Meghan seem addicted to profiting off royal family pain. For them, every familial bond and dignity is sacrificed at the altar of publicity and wealth extraction. It’s so shameless and grotesque that you have to wonder if they have any capacity for shame left.
Harry spent decades in royal service, only to sell out his family’s privacy for clickbait. Meghan knew these people for five minutes before hijacking the palace PR machine. Yet, renowned journalists like Bower are validating fears that Harry and Meghan’s latest schemes will include dragging more royal family members with each new project. King Charles had better lawyer up and install all the security protocols imaginable because Harry and Meghan are just getting warmed up.
