The world is always obsessed with celebrity drama and royal gossip, Netflix struck gold by signing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for a deal just during then. Their $100 million deal came right when people were glued to screens, watching famous faces air family feuds and private matters. The couple, fresh out of their royal duties following their widely reported marriage, were equally eager to cash in as well, and Netflix saw an opportunity.
Their first project Harry & Meghan turned into a global sensation, attracting millions of views and dominating headlines. But soon after that, things started going downhill.
As Netflix tried to squeeze more content out of the deal, the quality dropped. Shows like Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead, Polo, and With Love, Meghan failed to strike a chord. The numbers were underwhelming, and audiences weren’t impressed. Instead of praise, the couple got trolled heavily. Critics accused them of dragging their family drama into the spotlight for clout. Online hate grew louder with each new show.
Netflix didn’t ignore the backlash. While the initial splash brought attention, the later projects didn’t perform well enough to justify another round.
Now, the deal has run its course. Netflix is not renewing it. Sources say there’s no bad blood, just a quiet end to something that didn’t live up to expectations. And such a big royal contract is over.
