Royal Family LIVE: King 'horrified' about Harry and Meghan's future

Reports have emerged that Netflix is unlikely to renew its deal next year with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, signaling potential turbulence, and leaving King Charles “horrified”.

After stepping down as senior working royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a five-year, multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant, Netflix and began cultivating their personal brands for an income.

TV Journalist, Dan Wootton, revealed a source confided that the monarch is worried the Sussexes will run out of money if the contract is not renewed. His source revealed: “This is the King’s worst nightmare – he’s horrified.”

Dan also described the current situation as the “Netflix hammer blow is coming”. He penned in his editorial: “After years of flops and non-deliveries, the Netflix hammer blow is coming, with Puck’s highly connected newsletter – edited by the former editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter Matthew Belloni – confirming long-suspected rumours I first reported last June that ‘the streamer is not expected to renew its five-year, $100million (£76million) deal signed in 2020’.”

Spotify also ended their exclusive podcast deal earlier this year, signalling the Sussexes’ transition from royalty to media moguls hasn’t been as seamless as they might have hoped.
