The buzz is all about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, our beloved former royals, who are now reportedly staring down the barrel of losing their $100 million Netflix contract. If I had a deal that massive, I’d be churning out content quicker than Meghan says “I do.” But alas, it seems our dynamic duo may have fallen short on delivering what Netflix anticipated.

Let’s rewind a bit. Back in 2020, fresh from their departure from royal duties, Harry and Meghan sealed this colossal deal promising groundbreaking content. Fast forward to today, and what do we see? A reality show chronicling their lives that’s more whimper than substance, and a documentary series on the Invictus Games struggling to find its audience.

 

But here’s the kicker, folks—they’re reportedly on the brink of losing this mammoth deal because, surprise, surprise, Netflix expected more than 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 lucrative as selling umbrellas in the Sahara.

 

Let’s not overlook their Spotify deal debacle—a multi-million dollar venture that fizzled out faster than you can say “podcast.” If they can’t meet the basic demands of a cushy podcast deal, perhaps it’s time to acknowledge they’re not cut out for this whole working-for-a-living thing.

 

 

But here’s what truly baffles me—Meghan’s alleged aspiration to establish highly successful commercial ventures. Wasn’t her dream to be a humanitarian, a voice for the voiceless? Or was that merely another persona she adopted when convenient? It’s challenging to keep track of Meghan’s dreams when they change as frequently as her accents.

And now, they’re launching an American Riviera orchard brand and a lifestyle show? Seriously? Because nothing screams relatability like a former duchess teaching us how to make avocado toast in a multi-million-dollar mansion.

And Harry? 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 exclusively played by the ultra-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 craving privacy while starring in a six-part documentary series about your life.

 

Yet, the real tragedy here is the collateral damage—every time Harry and Meghan stumble, every time they lament their challenges, they’re not just embarrassing themselves, they’re tarnishing the reputation of the institution they chose to depart. They’re making a mockery of the privilege that put them in this position in the first place.
