Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s explosive 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview is back in focus after a new report claims that Netflix was caught off guard by the couple's sit-down with the legendary talk show host.
On March 17, Variety published a report titled "Inside Meghan and Harry's Falling Out with Netflix and Why The Royal Couple is Struggling in Hollywood." The article quoted industry insiders who shared their commentary on the couple's working relationship with the streaming giant.
The publication cited insiders who claimed Netflix was surprised by Harry and Meghan's March 2021 interview with Oprah. Additionally, it maintained that the couple had not broken the terms of their contract with the streamer by speaking with Winfrey.
"Sources say that the company only discovered at the last minute that the Sussexes would sit with Winfrey and share intimate, headline-grabbing details of their lives," Variety wrote.

Ultimately, according to a press release, the Winfrey interview was a ratings winner for CBS, with over 17M viewers tuning in. It added the television event was the network's "most live-streamed event outside of the NFL and Super Bowl Sunday this season."
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex responded that claims Netflix was unaware of the Oprah interview were "categorically false." The representative continued, "Netflix and Archewell had legal counsel involved to oversee the evolution of the deal, as is common practice for any deal changes in Hollywood.”
Harry and Meghan signed with Netflix in 2020. In a Guardian story, a statement from the couple read, "Our lives, both independent of each other and as a couple, have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit, of courage, resilience, and the need for connection."

It continued, "Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens.”
The couple's first Netflix project was the docuseries, Harry & Meghan, followed by Live to Lead (2022), Heart of Invictus (2023), and the 2025 lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. There are also other projects in development, including two book adaptations, “The Wedding Date,” and “Meet Me at the Lake.”
