Prince Harry's Invictus Games Documentary Raises Eyebrows
Prince Harry has made a surprising move that has rattled his multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix, as uncertainty looms over its future.
Despite being under a five-year contract with Netflix along with his wife Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex's documentary about the Invictus Games found its way to Hulu, a competing platform.
Titled "Prince Harry’s Mission: Life, Family and the Invictus Games," the documentary features interviews conducted by ABC News during the Winter Invictus Games' One Year to Go event in Whistler, Canada.
During the interview, Prince Harry delved into various topics including his father's health, family dynamics, and the prospect of obtaining American citizenship.
It remains unclear whether Netflix approved the decision to release the documentary on a rival platform. However, reports from The Mail indicate that the news came as a surprise to Netflix executives.
The future of the Sussexes' contract with Netflix hangs in the balance, especially following this unexpected turn of events.
Additionally, a senior TV news producer suggested to the Mail Online that Prince Harry likely had prior knowledge of the interview, as he would have been required to sign a release form for ABC to use the footage in a documentary for Hulu.
The repercussions of this decision on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's partnership with Netflix are yet to unfold, raising questions about the stability of their relationship with the streaming giant.
