Netflix's $100 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is reportedly ending, due to the poor performance of their shows, such as "With Love, Meghan" and "Harry's" Polo documentary. Insiders claim Netflix has "no appetite for anything new" and is "just waiting for the credits to roll."
Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan" failed to break into Netflix's top 300 programs. Harry's documentary, "Polo," only garnered 500,000 viewers.
Experts question the Sussexes' financial stability, given their reported high expenses and the limited income from the Netflix deal. They estimate the couple needs to clear around $4 million annually after tax. The relatively small earnings from the Netflix deal and their lifestyle brand, As Ever, leaves concerns regarding financial solvency.
Brand experts have criticized Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever, branding her as a "fraud" and calling the business a "royal disaster" due to poor execution and lack of authenticity.
Despite the end of the Netflix deal, there's speculation that Netflix might keep the door open for one-off projects with the Sussexes. There's also speculation around the possibility of a reconciliation with the Royal Family for potential financial reasons.
The couple's lifestyle in California and their reported happiness living in Montecito are highlighted.
