🚨 Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Deal Cut in HALF! Shocking New Terms Revealed! 💔📺
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are extending their Netflix partnership, but we hear their new contract is “much” less than their previous “$100 million deal” with the streaming company.
“It’s not much,” an insider told Page Six on Monday. “It’s no risk for Netflix but saves them both reputationally.”
Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Harry and Markle’s company, Archewell Productions, and Netflix announced Monday that the couple agreed to a new first-look deal ahead of their current contract ending in September.
Under the new deal, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will still have to run their ideas by Netflix. From there, the streaming service will decide whether it wants to obtain project rights to the duo’s pitches.
Viewers can expect to see an expansion of Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, grow on the big screen. Season 2 of her Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” is set to be released in late August, a press release obtained by Page Six Monday revealed.

The “Suits” alum will also be releasing a special “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration” episode in December, featuring “holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy” with “friends and family.”
Later this year, a short documentary — titled “Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within” and produced by Markle and Harry — will also be released, highlighting a small orphanage in Uganda, where “children transform hardship into joy, dancing their way toward healing, belonging, and the promise of a brighter future.”
Other Archewell Productions projects in development with Netflix include an adaptation of Carley Fortune’s book, “Meet Me at the Lake.”

“Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere,” the businesswoman wrote, referring to the couple’s 2022 “Harry & Meghan” series, which “gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of [Netflix’s] most-watched documentary series.”
“More recently, fans have been inspired by ‘With Love, Meghan,’ with products from the new As Ever line consistently selling out in record time.”
Last month, Page Six exclusively reported that Harry and Meghan were continuing their partnership with Netflix. Industry experts had previously informed us that the company’s CEO, Ted Sarandos, is a huge fan of the royals and dines with them regularly.
