Prince Harry, Meghan Markle running out of time as trouble mounts

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hopeful for their future despite worries that streaming giant Netflix may cancel their million-dollar contract.

As per a new report, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s major business deal hangs in balance after their latest show for the OTT platform on polo failed to impress viewers.

The Sussexes need the money from their deal to finance their other projects, including Meghan’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, reported Closer Magazine.

“They’ve never had higher expenses than right now, not least because Meghan’s been pumping so much money into her lifestyle brand relaunch,” the insider said.

“They’ve got very high expenses and massive plans to expand even further, so the last thing they need is to lose their deal at Netflix. It would be such a disaster,” they added.

While the streaming giant has not taken a decision about the deal yet, rumours claim that Harry and Meghan will likely lose it as their experiment with a new genre with polo show did not work.

“Netflix hasn’t dumped them yet and Meghan and Harry are holding out hope that it will never come to pass,” the source said. “But there’s no denying the polo show has not done as well as everyone was banking on.”

“Critics weren’t impressed, and it hasn’t cracked the top ten,” they continued. “That isn’t a good look for them so naturally there are whispers the deal could be at risk.”

“It’s not just about one project, it’s a $100 million deal, they are counting on that income.”
