Netflix has decided not to renew any contracts with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the production of the Invictus Games.
Speculation arose after reports surfaced that King Charles was relieved by the couple’s change in approach towards Netflix.
According to GB News, an insider revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no longer be involved in creating Netflix shows or writing tell-all books that criticize the royal family.
A recent report indicated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were considering a feature-length film on Netflix about their life within the palace.
The couple wanted to share additional details about their experiences in the royal family that were not included in their documentary, “Harry & Meghan.”
Furthermore, Prince Harry recently released a memoir.
However, rumors have emerged suggesting that it was Netflix itself who decided to end its partnership with the couple.
There are allegations that one of Markle’s proposed children’s shows for Netflix, called “Pearl,” was canceled by the streaming platform.
Additionally, there are rumors that Prince Harry’s highly anticipated docu-series on the Invictus Games has also been called off.
These rumors suggest that Netflix is determined to sever ties with the couple, leading to the cancellation of the documentary.
The cancellation of “Heart of Invictus” by Netflix allegedly stems from Meghan’s excessive demands, as she reportedly turned it into a fashion show focused on herself instead of highlighting the veterans.
It is claimed that she spent $538,000 on clothes for last year’s Invictus Games in the Netherlands.
Veterans started a petition demanding that Meghan refund the money she spent on the clothes, which forced Greg Peters, the CEO of Netflix, to take action.
The receipts for the expensive items Meghan purchased, such as designer dresses and shoes, were leaked to the public, fueling outrage among the veterans.
They argued that the money could have been better used to support veterans’ needs, such as medical care or job training.
In response to the petition, Greg Peters issued a statement confirming that Meghan would be refunding the money.
He emphasized the foundation’s commitment to transparency and accountability and assured that necessary measures would be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The refund is seen as a victory for the veterans and a reminder of the importance of responsible financial management by organizations that receive donations.
Prince Harry, a former serviceman himself, founded the Invictus Games to provide veterans and serving personnel with opportunities to compete in sports they excelled in.
However, some critics, including Jane Moore from Loose Women, questioned Harry’s decision to sign a deal with Netflix to film the games for a documentary.
Moore expressed her irritation, stating that the couple secured the deal based on their status rather than their proven abilities.
She argued that there are numerous talented writers and producers who are struggling to break through in the industry and would greatly appreciate an opportunity like the one given to Harry and Meghan.
The decision by Netflix to end its contracts with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle marks a significant shift in their relationship.
The couple’s future endeavors in the entertainment industry remain uncertain, but this development raises questions about their ability to secure similar deals in the future solely based on their celebrity status.
