Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Take Significant Step Amidst Speculation of ‘Professional Separation’

A Vital Update on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix Deal

Since stepping back from royal duties and relocating to the United States in 2020 due to challenges with British media and the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have occasionally shared insights into their lives.

Currently, the couple is settled in Montecito, Santa Barbara, California, with their two children, Archie, who is six, and Lilibet, who is four.

Both have embarked on separate ventures, yet they collaborate on several projects. Among these is their Netflix documentary series, and they also manage their charitable organization, Archewell. Meghan has ventured into lifestyle branding with “As Ever,” and she shines in her own Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

In their engaging eight-part Netflix series, viewers get to meet notable figures like Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer, Delfina Blaquier, and Roy Choi. The series invites viewers into Meghan’s world, from the kitchen to the beehive.

The UK’s Royal Duo Strengthens Ties with Netflix

Back in September 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan signed a promising deal with Netflix, aimed at producing a mix of scripted content, documentaries, and special shows for children.

Amidst speculation that questioned the continuation of their contract, whispers arose in late 2024 about a potential ‘professional separation’ between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

This shift indicates that the couple plans to direct their energies toward personal interests, possibly leading to distinct project trajectories. This separation suggests the delegation of responsibilities to two exclusive managers.

Miranda Barbot, an expert in political and media operations, will concentrate her efforts with Prince Harry. Meanwhile, Sarah Fosmo, who has previously assisted Bill Gates, will collaborate closely with Meghan.

Within her role, Sarah will help further Meghan’s brand, As Ever, oversee the continuation of “With Love, Meghan,” and be involved in producing episodes for Meghan’s “Confessions Of A Female Founder” podcast.

Significantly, the Sussexes have announced they are extending their ‘multi-year, first look agreement’ with Netflix and their company, Archewell Productions.

Renewed Partnerships Signal an Exciting Chapter for the Sussexes

This move counters any rumors suggesting that Netflix might part ways with the couple, especially as Meghan’s lifestyle series is set for a second season.

Despite these positive developments, royal observers hint at the possibility of some tension stemming from the royal family’s apprehensions about the Sussexes’ projects. Royal analyst Richard Fitzwilliams mentioned to the Daily Express that any new Harry and Meghan content for Netflix might stir unease due to ongoing dynamics with his family.

Though the exact figures of their latest deal remain undisclosed, their initial agreement with Netflix was speculated to be around $100 million, or approximately ยฃ75 million.
