The big news is that Harry and Meghan, our favorite ex-royals, are reportedly facing the imminent loss of their $100 million Netflix contract. If I had a deal that huge, I'd be churning out content faster than Meghan says "I do." But alas, it seems our dynamic duo may have fallen short on delivering what Netflix expected.
Let's rewind a bit. Back in 2020, fresh from their departure from royal duties, Harry and Meghan inked this mega-deal promising groundbreaking content. Fast forward to today, and what do we have? A reality show about their lives that's more whine than substance and a documentary series on the Invictus Games that's struggling to find an audience.
But here's the kicker, folks—they're reportedly on the brink of losing this colossal deal because, surprise, surprise, Netflix expected more than just a couple of home videos and lofty promises. They're a business, after all, not a charity. And right now, the business of Harry and Meghan is looking about as profitable as selling umbrellas in the Sahara.
Let's not forget their Spotify deal fiasco—a multi-million dollar venture that fizzled out faster than you can say "podcast." If they can't meet the basic requirements of a cushy podcast deal, maybe it's time to admit they're not cut out for this whole working-for-a-living thing.
But here's what really gets me—Meghan's supposed dream to build hugely successful commercial enterprises. Wasn't her dream to be a humanitarian, a voice for the voiceless? Or was that just another persona she adopted when it suited her? It's hard to keep track of Meghan's dreams when they change as often as her accents.
And now, they're launching an American Riviera orchard brand and a lifestyle show? Really? Because nothing screams relatability like a former duchess teaching us how to make avocado toast in a multi-million-dollar mansion.
And Harry? Well, he's producing a documentary about polo—yes, polo—because if there's one thing Netflix subscribers are clamoring for, it's more content about a sport played exclusively by the uber-wealthy.
But let's address the elephant in the room—or should I say, the crown in the room? Harry and Meghan left the royal family for privacy, yet they've signed multiple deals with major media companies and aired their grievances on international platforms. It's like wanting privacy while starring in a six-part documentary series about your life.
But the real tragedy here is the collateral damage—every time Harry and Meghan fail, every time they complain about their struggles, they're not just embarrassing themselves, they're tarnishing the reputation of the institution they left behind. They're making a mockery of the privilege that allows them to be in this position in the first place.
