After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals one of the first deals they signed was a five-year contract with Netflix for upwards of $100 million. The streaming giant, along with the Sussexes’ fans had to wait quite a while before the duke and duchess released any content. But once they did the Harry & Meghan docuseries was a massive hit with a total of 81.
6 million hours watched in its first four days of availability, amounting to more than 28 million households. The Sussexes’ follow-ups since then, Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead , failed to eclipse anything close to that success and were considered flops. That has led to debate and speculation about whether Netflix will renew the couple’s contract and what the pair would do without such a lucrative deal, especially after Spotify canceled Meghan’s podcast and terminated its partnership with the pair in 2023.
Now though, the prince and former Suits star may not have anything to worry about if Netflix does not offer them a new contract after their current deal is up. This is because it’s being reported that a golden opportunity may have just fallen into the Sussexes’ lap if they want to continue producing content for large sums of money. Who issued a lifeline to Prince Harry and Meghan? There are reports that Sheikha Abrar Khaled Al Sabah, who is a member of the Kuwait royal family and runs her own production company Abbey’s Productions, would like to work with Prince Harry and Meghan.
