Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s high-stakes partnership with Netflix may be facing its final chapter, but an expert weighs in with a shocking twist: the couple’s rumored ‘divorce’ could be their unexpected saving grace.
Netflix's 'Brutal Calculation' and the Power of Royal Drama
Despite earlier reports that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s multi-million-dollar deal would not be renewed after its September expiration, new developments suggest the contract may survive. An expert weighs in, saying Netflix may be playing the long game, hoping the much-rumored ‘divorce’ becomes a blockbuster story in itself.
Expert: Divorce Rumors Could Skyrocket Their Market Value
Public relations strategist Dermot McNamara told The Mirror that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s creative efforts have failed to generate consistent viewer returns. Yet Netflix hasn’t walked away. “The fairytale has faded, the content underperforms, but if a ‘divorce’ does happen, global audiences will want every detail,” the expert weighs.
With Love, Meghan Flops—Suits Still Dominates
McNamara’s comments followed the lukewarm reception to Meghan’s recent project, With Love, Meghan, which attracted just 5.3 million views and placed 383rd in Netflix’s rankings for the first half of 2025. Surprisingly, reruns of Suits, where Meghan Markle starred pre-royal life, continue to outperform her latest venture.
Netflix Playing the Waiting Game for the Real Drama
According to the expert, Netflix might be sitting on “the most valuable content of all—the fallout.” He says the company is making a calculated decision, waiting to see if Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle’s rumored ‘divorce’ provides a more compelling story than any scripted series. “It’s harsh, but this is Hollywood,” he added.
Prince Harry Responds to Rumors with Humor
Both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have long dismissed whispers of marital troubles. In fact, Prince Harry’s own words last year were laced with sarcasm when he said, “Apparently we’ve divorced maybe 10, 12 times.” Despite the denials, the public fascination with a possible ‘divorce’ shows no sign of slowing—and experts say Netflix is counting on that.
Final Thought: Will the Drama Save the Deal?
As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix future remains uncertain, one thing is clear—speculation around a possible ‘divorce’ continues to dominate headlines. With a brutal business mindset, streaming platforms like Netflix may view personal upheaval as prime content. As this expert weighs, it may not be the end of their contract, but rather a plot twist waiting to unfold.
