According to a royal expert, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new Netflix agreement is a “slap in the face” to their 2020 original agreement.
The streaming behemoth offered the Sussexes a new “multi-year, first look” at future motion picture and television projects.
Because of this structure, Netflix is able to choose what they invest in and can accept or reject any new film or television ideas before anyone else.
“It’s definitely a slap in the face,” Richard Eden, the diary editor for the Daily Mail, stated. Let us address the facts. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry himself stated that he needed money immediately because his father had cut off his security and financial support.
When the couple quit as working royals, they signed a five-year deal in September 2020 to make documentaries and films for the American streaming giant thought to have been worth up to $100million (£75million).
Speaking of the new deal announced earlier this week, Mr Eden claimed: “This is none of a kind from everything I have heard. It is just a first look deal so the only money they will receive is if the programmes are commissioned.”
During the couple’s interview with Oprah after leaving the Firm, Harry talked about working with Netflix for monetary means, as reported in the Daily Mail. “During COVID, the suggestion by a friend was, ‘What about streamers?” Harry said, while Meghan added: “We genuinely hadn’t thought about it before.”
“We hadn’t thought about it,” Harry continued. “So, there were all sorts of different options. And look, from my perspective, all I needed was enough money to be able to pay for security to keep my family safe.”
