Are the Sussexes Planning a Diana Documentary with Netflix? A 30th Anniversary Tribute?
Netflix deepens partnership with Prince Harry - Considering another Netflix collaboration with Prince Harry?
Rumors are swirling about a potential collaboration between Prince Harry, Netflix, and the late Princess Diana. Reports suggest that previous speculations about the Sussexes renewing their Netflix contract, which expires this year, might be on the mark. According to the U.S. industry magazine "Variety," Ted Sarandos, Co-CEO of Netflix, declined to comment on future partnerships[1]. However, the British "Daily Express" drops a bombshell, stating that the couple has been offered a new deal shrouded in mystery.
Allegedly, the new contract includes a personal documentary about Princess Diana that Prince Harry will executive-produce and present[2][4]. The documentary is rumored to focus on Harry's unique perspective on the woman he knew as his mother, as well as her enduring impact on social and cultural identity[3]. If true, the docu could serve as an attempt by Harry to bridge the gap with his brother William and other family members[2].
Sarandos Offers High Praise for Meghan
When discussing Meghan, Sarandos' sentiments hint at Netflix's eagerness to continue collaborating with the Duchess. Apart from her lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan," the Duchess has forayed into e-commerce with her brand "As ever." Sarandos acknowledged that their partnership in her company serves as a valuable discovery model in e-commerce for Netflix[4]. Moreover, he considered Meghan's influence undervalued, revealing that any gesture from the couple, even marketing decisions, generated widespread attention[4].
It remains to be seen if the rumors about a Princess Diana documentary prove true. A careful balancing act between the Sussexes' private life, public interest, and the royals' wishes will be crucial for any such production[5]. For now, the world watches with bated breath, eager to see what the future holds for this intriguing alliance.
