Harry & Meghan’s Netflix Future
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again making headlines as they look to add fresh projects to their Netflix deal, which was recently renewed—though reportedly not on the same lucrative terms as before.
Their first major project with the platform, the 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan, became Netflix’s biggest-ever debut for a documentary, breaking records and sparking intense debates. While it drew massive viewership, it also deepened the rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, putting their private struggles into the global spotlight.
Since then, however, none of their follow-up projects have managed to make the same impact. This is likely why the couple’s new contract is said to be less valuable than their original multi-million-dollar deal. It also explains why they may be working harder to keep Netflix executives interested with fresh, compelling content.
One idea already being floated is a documentary about Princess Diana, set for 2027 to mark the 30th anniversary of her passing. Industry insiders suggest that if Harry decides to move forward with it, Netflix would be eager to back the project. Such a documentary could generate global attention, both because of Diana’s enduring legacy and Harry’s deeply personal connection to the story.
Still, television executives caution that planning for such a major production would need to start within the next six months. Alongside this, there’s also speculation that Harry might contribute to a Diana-related project outside of Netflix.
This situation shows how much pressure Harry and Meghan are under to prove themselves as long-term content creators—not just as headline-makers. Their future with Netflix may depend on whether they can deliver another project as powerful as Harry & Meghan. A Diana documentary could be that breakthrough, but it would also come with high emotional stakes for Harry and global scrutiny for both him and Meghan.
