MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s partnership with Netflix is back in the spotlight as fresh reports suggest the relationship may be under strain.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a major deal with the streamer in 2020 through their company, Archewell Productions, with plans to create scripted and unscripted projects.

According to sources cited by Variety, Netflix has grown frustrated with the couple’s output, communication, and the performance of some recent projects, including “With Love, Meghan.”

“The mood in the building is ‘We’re done,’” one Netflix told Variety.

The report also claims Netflix stepped back from Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, fueling more speculation that the business relationship could be cooling.

Still, Netflix is publicly pushing back on the idea of a major fallout. Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria praised Archewell as a collaborative partner and said Harry and Meghan are deeply involved in storytelling.

Representatives for the Sussexes also denied several claims in the report, including suggestions of poor communication and tension with Netflix leadership.

The article says the partnership has faced challenges for years, dating back to the couple’s high-profile Oprah Winfrey interview and the release timing around Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”

Sources claim Netflix was caught off guard by some of those moves, though Sussex representatives dispute that version of events.

While the future of the deal remains unclear, one thing is certain: Meghan and Harry continue to generate major interest in both Hollywood and the media world.

For now, fans and industry watchers will be waiting to see whether Archewell and Netflix can reset the partnership or if this chapter is nearing its end.
