Netflix Ends $100M Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Deal

Netflix has decided not to renew its $100 million, five-year deal with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, with the contract expiring in September 2025. The streaming giant's decision is attributed to the declining popularity and poor performance of their projects, including Meghan's show 'With Love, Meghan,' which failed to rank among Netflix's top programs in 2025. Experts suggest Meghan should consider negotiating a first-look deal to maintain a relationship with Netflix, as the platform also holds a stake in her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which her show was designed to promote. Despite the potential fallout, Netflix reportedly was unfazed by ending the partnership, having already benefited from initial hits and considering the later content less successful. Insiders indicate Meghan is eager to secure new opportunities, possibly even outside Netflix, such as hosting roles, to avoid fading from public relevance. The couple's reduced social media presence and the underwhelming sales of Meghan's branded wine also contributed to Netflix's decision, reflecting waning interest in their celebrity ventures.
