Displeased Prince Harry expresses his feelings about the Netflix agreement
Prince Harry's reaction to the ongoing controversy surrounding his African charity, Sentebale, and the recent Netflix deal with Meghan Markle remains unclear. The duke appears to be upset over the recent events, but the specific issues that have upset him are not explicitly detailed.
The Sentebale charity, which Harry co-founded, aims to aid children affected by HIV in Africa. The charity's operations and Harry's focus on media and entertainment projects, such as the Netflix deal, seem to be at the centre of the current disagreement. However, no direct public statements or reactions from Harry specific to the charity controversy have been reported.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have signed a multiyear, first-look deal with Netflix for various film and TV projects. The deal allows Netflix first pick on projects from their Archewell Productions, but they are also permitted to shop elsewhere if Netflix passes. There has been speculation and negotiation tension about the terms of this Netflix partnership, but no direct public reaction from Harry specific to the charity controversy has been cited.
Despite the ongoing controversies, Harry remains committed to his philanthropic work. He has invested a significant amount of his own personal finances into Sentebale over a period of 20 years. Reports suggest that he is looking forward to the future and is excited about potential work in Lesotho and Botswana. A source close to Meghan and Harry confirmed that Harry is "definitely still involved" in Archewell.
As the situation continues to unfold, more details about the specific issues in the charity row that have upset Prince Harry and the impact of the Netflix deal on Sentebale may become clear. For now, the duke remains focused on moving forward and continuing his work with Archewell Productions and Sentebale.
