And yet the streaming giant still seems committed to the Sussexes, offering a similar first-look, multi-year deal to that accepted by another powerhouse couple, Michelle and Barack Obama. “Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere,” Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria stated, a rather spurious claim considering nothing other than their 2022 eponymous tell-all has connected beyond mild curiosity.

An adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Meet Me at the Lake, a romantic film they’re producing, whose twists and turns sometimes echo their own, already sounds a little self-involved. And is anyone crying out for a second season of Meghan’s Goop-meets-Martha Stewart snoozefest, let alone a Christmas special too?

But could there be some method to Netflix’s madness? The company must obviously be aware they’re not exactly sitting on a ratings goldmine. Not yet, anyway. But the renewal handily keeps the royals in their back pockets away from any other prying rivals. Should – or more likely ‘when’ – any more scandalous family drama arise, then both parties now have the opportunity to exploit it at a later date a la hit documentary series Harry and Meghan. After all, according to Vanity Fair, the former Suits star has already started pitching a book about divorce.

But even if only a fraction of the pro-Meghan brigade fork out $14 (roughly £10) for her shortbread mix with flower sprinkles or a cool $300 (approximately £220) for a full case of her Napa Valley rosé, then there’s money to be made. It’s a showbusiness deal undeniably far more interested in the business than the show.
The anti-Meghan brigade, however, will no doubt take solace in the fact this new handshake is not the big win it initially seems to be. Netflix is under no obligation to take on any of the royals’ not-so-wild ideas. And although no specific figures have been mentioned, experts believe they’re far less lucrative than the original 2020 deal, which apparently made the duo $100 million richer. Nevertheless, it’s still a glaring example of how TV continues to reward not what you know, but who.
