Netflix has become “fed up” of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their latest international tour of Colombia, it has been claimed.
where they spoke on the issue of online harms affecting children, opening up about their own experiences with parenthood.
Following the success of their documentary series with the streaming giants,
the royal couple are also in a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix to create a lifestyle series on Meghan’s cooking, and a behind-the-scenes exploration of the world of polo with Harry.
However, royal biographer Angela Levin has claimed that the projects will not be going ahead until “next February at the earliest”.
Levin explained: “The documentary was six episodes, full of grumbles and gruffs – that did phenomenally well, but nothing else has.
“They’re not really keen on her cooking or Harry doing polo or her jam, it’s not original enough. It won’t be until next February at the earliest that they can do anything.”
When asked if Netflix will be renewing their agreement with the Sussexes following the delay in their projects, Levin cast doubt on the idea.
She added: “Technically they have messed up completely, because they haven’t done it properly. Netflix is fed up and they’ve got lots of other things on their line that they can do. So I think they’re not going to renew the $100,000 to keep them going.”
Highlighting the collapse in Spotify’s deal with the couple, Grimes questioned how Harry and Meghan would continue to be “financially independent” if Netflix were to discontinue their agreement with them.
Levin claimed: “I think Harry will try and get some money out of the King. I’m not sure, but maybe that’s a reason they now want to come to the UK and see him.”
Turning the discussion to the couple’s Colombia tour, the royal biographer told GB News that the Sussexes had “no sound” on the cameras filming them during their four-day round trip.
Levin revealed: “What was very difficult to understand or to accept was that Harry was asked if he would apologise about the slaves, but he hasn’t any standing to do that.
“If by any chance he did, we can’t tell because they didn’t have any sound, they stopped it. I imagine Meghan wanted to keep control, and Harry didn’t want any journalist to know exactly what he was saying.”
If Prince Harry was to have spoken out and apologised for the slave trade, Levin suggested that it would be a “very difficult” situation for his father, King Charles.
Levin told host Darren Grimes: “It was asked, it was heard, but we don’t know what he said. Now, if he wants to take on that and say something about it, it’s going to be very, very difficult for the King.
“First of all, Colombia was under Spanish rule until 1810, so nothing to do with the British. And also in 1864, Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, apologised on behalf of everybody for what had happened, so we have actually done that.
“And I think it’s very dangerous if he starts bringing that up.”
