Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly tête-à-tête about their working relationship with Netflix, and it has to do with the couple’s latest reported move. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex allegedly asked Netflix to take a look at leaks associated with their projects, but this request reportedly did not go over well with some people inside the company. Notably, the couple’s deal with the streaming platform has already been facing a lot of scrutiny.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's leak probe request reportedly added to ongoing tension with Netflix
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed their famous Netflix agreement after stepping back from royal duties, the deal brought in major interest on both sides. Their 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan drew global attention and strong viewership, helping establish them as serious contestants in the streaming space — but since then, things have changed. Now, the conversation around the partnership has become more complicated.
An insider exclusively told OK! Magazine, “There is an increasing sense inside Netflix that their recent demand into leaks about their projects shows a real disconnect from how things actually operate at this level.” They also claimed, “Meghan and Harry are pushing hard for a formal investigation to identify exactly who has been speaking to the press, but many within Netflix view that as impractical and overly aggressive given the circumstances around their current deal with the streamer.”
Additionally, the source suggested that some stakeholders behind the scenes see the request as a serious mistake, especially at a time when the focus should be on moving on with projects and rebuilding trust.
Now, while Netflix still appears to see value in Sussexes’ global profile, OK! Magazine reported that things are different inside the company. As another source told the outlet, “At the top of the organization, there are still key decision-makers who fully appreciate the scale of global attention Meghan and Harry generate, and they see that kind of visibility as a powerful asset that can drive audiences in a way few others can.”
All in all, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attract major interest — but for Netflix and for the Sussexes, the next project may matter more than ever.
