Despite launching two Netflix original series through their company,
Archewell Audio, recent reports suggest that two of their shows faced rejection.
Sources familiar with their work indicate growing anxiety about the progress of
their $100 million deal with the streaming platform.
Initially, their first project with Netflix was supposed to be 'Heart of
Invictus,' a series focusing on the competition for wounded service members.
However, it appears that Prince Harry requested Netflix to remove all footage
of Meghan from the Invictus Games documentary, signaling his decision to focus
on his individual career.
Rumors surfaced on social media speculating about the project's cancellation,
with some attributing it to alleged demands from Meghan, suggesting that she
turned it into a personal fashion show rather than highlighting the veterans'
stories.
Amidst controversies surrounding the couple, they are expected to collaborate
on another Netflix project, documenting their visits to communities in South
Africa, emphasizing their humanitarian efforts and community-building
initiatives. Meghan Markle's involvement in this project aims to raise
awareness about self-birthing practices.
Over the past few years, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced criticism
and scrutiny, particularly after their revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey
in 2021. Recently, Harry's relationship with his family has been strained,
leading some to claim the couple has gone too far in their actions against the
Royals. Their deals with Spotify and Netflix have also faced challenges, with
Spotify calling them 'grifters' and retracting their $20 million deal.
As public opinion of them fluctuates, the couple seems to be navigating
difficult terrain. Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has openly
criticized them, stating they misunderstood the expectations in their deals
with major streaming companies.
Despite these challenges, the question remains: How will their journey unfold,
and what will be the ultimate outcome of their strained relationship with the
Royal family?
While Meghan has maintained a low profile this year, some speculate that she may be realizing the consequences of certain actions and struggling to find a way out of the controversies. The perception of their brand has shifted, and public sentiment towards them appears to be increasingly negative. The future of their ventures with Netflix and other platforms hangs in the balance as they try to navigate the complexities of public perception.
