Royal experts believe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should ‘already have been expecting’ this change given their sordid relations in months past.

Claims about the ‘end of an era’ has been brought to light by Mail on Sunday’s assistant editor Kate Mansey.

She believes the removal of Prince Harry’s HRH title from the official website is a sure-fire sign that “slowly but surely, [Harry and Meghan] aren't going to be allowed back in.”

In her chat with Palace Confidential she pointed out that the Duke and Duchess should’ve surely been expecting this to come from left field at some point.

She made these admissions despite the fact that “Harry has made quite a lot of reference to the fact that he still remains in line to the throne, so...some of that might upset him, being bumped down.”

In the eyes of Ms Mansey this snub might impact the couple’s rise to fame because even with Netflix “it does feel like last chance saloon.”

Especially when one considers the fact that “They've lost the Spotify deal” and not to mention “there are [also] question marks over what their future is as media operators within Hollywood.”

“I think everyone will be watching this and there'll be a lot at stake with this project,” she later added before signing off.

What is Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s deal with Netflix?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s deal with Netflix is for a cumulative $100 million. It was signed in 2020 and is still ongoing.

When the news first broke, Netflix released a statement to Entertainment Tonight and said, “We value our partnership with Archewell Productions. Harry & Meghan was Netflix’s biggest documentary debut ever, and we’ll continue to work together on a number of projects, including the upcoming documentary series Heart of Invictus.”

Even the Duke of Sussex promised to create content that “informs but also gives hope” when reacting to the announcement with the New York Post.

However, what started off as rather hopeful has seemingly descended into turmoil with viewership numbers dropping since the pandemic ended.

A report by the Wall Street Journal even went as far as to say, that the duo is starting to have a lot of “trouble finding material consistent with their brand” not to mention there are also “problems beyond their control, including a retrenchment in the entertainment and podcasting businesses.”

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Spotify Drama Explained:

Claims about the upcoming Netflix rom-com, and the streamers’ lack of faith in the couple has come to light, in response to Spotify’s earlier bow-out.

Once Spotify announced its “mutual decision” to part ways from the $20 million exclusive deal, social media began hypothesizing possible reasons, and it wound up calling the couple’s credibility into question.

Behind The Scenes:

Problems arose not just from the Sussexes side of the camp, but also from within their Archewell stronghold, which suffered resignation after resignation, from many senior team members.

The most noteworthy among them was from the president of Archewell Mandana Dayani, as well as Promising Young Woman producer Ben Browning.

Industry Reactions to Spotify’s Exit:

By the end, even industry insiders began issuing warnings about the waning credibility of the duo.

The CEO of UTA Jeremy Zimmer was one of the firsts to go on the record and called Meghan ‘untalented’. At the time he was quoted saying, “Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent.”

Later Spotify executive CEO Bill Simmons joined in as well and branded the duo ‘f****** griffters’.

In light of all of this, many have started to grow concerned for the future of Netflix’s collaboration as well.
