The article discusses the strained relationship between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton amid a Netflix deal, highlighting accusations of a 'vicious, nasty move' by Meghan towards Kate and the evolving dynamics between Harry and William.
Harry and Meghan have extended their multi-year, first-look Netflix deal through their Archewell production company, allowing Netflix first options on their proposals. The arrangement is looser than their previous $100 million deal, with upcoming projects including a Christmas special and a documentary about an orphanage in Uganda. Despite mixed viewership for some shows, Netflix's chief content officer praised the couple's influence and storytelling impact.
Harry and Meghan Markle renewed their Netflix deal with a less extensive, multi-year first-look agreement, shifting from their previous $100 million exclusive content deal to a more flexible arrangement that includes new projects like a holiday special, a film adaptation, and documentaries, while also expanding Meghan's lifestyle brand 'As Ever' into new product categories.
Prince William is reportedly still "furious" with Prince Harry over his multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, including the controversial Harry & Meghan docuseries. William is said to believe that Harry has "ruthlessly exploited" the royal family and is angry about the portrayal of their late mother, Princess Diana, in The Crown. Harry is also reportedly working on a solo documentary for Netflix, while Meghan Markle will be involved in adapting a novel for the streaming platform.
