Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, raise once more as a significant cause of worry for King Charles
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has expressed his concerns about the renewed Netflix deal between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, suggesting that the deal may be viewed negatively by the Royal Family due to a fundamental lack of trust in the couple.
Fitzwilliams believes that the deal, which is reportedly smaller than the original contract, might serve as a "fig leaf" to mask the couple's failure to become major Hollywood A-listers. He implies that the Royal Family likely does not welcome the extended partnership, especially given the couple's ongoing production of documentaries and other ventures that could publicize private family matters.
Fitzwilliams' concerns are not limited to the couple's Hollywood career. He also questions the value of the Sussexes' brand in the entertainment industry, particularly in light of the damaging impact a potential series similar to "Harry and Meghan" could have on the Royal Family.
However, Netflix's Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, praised the popularity of the initial series produced by the Sussexes. The series, which provided a unique glimpse into the personal lives of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, was not without controversy, as it also attacked the Royal Family.
Fitzwilliams did not provide specific details about the potential content of another series by the Sussexes. He simply expressed his concern about the possibility of another series, which was prompted by the popularity of the initial series.
Despite these concerns, it is unclear whether or not Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are planning another series. The Netflix deal for the Sussexes has been a topic of discussion due to Fitzwilliams' publicised concerns about the potential for another series similar to "Harry and Meghan."
The strained relations within the royal family, particularly the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William, are fuelled by mistrust towards Meghan Markle. This mistrust contributes to the concerns that the couple might leverage private family interactions for commercial purposes, making senior royals reluctant to engage in reconciliation efforts.
As the Sussexes continue to navigate their new lives in Hollywood, the impact of their decisions on the Royal Family remains a topic of interest and debate.
The entertainment industry's continued focus on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, through their partnership with Netflix, is elevating pop-culture concern about the couple's impact on the Royal Family. Celebrities like the Sussexes, when producing documentaries and shows that delve into private family matters, could exacerbate the existing mistrust within the Royal Family, potentially jeopardizing relationships further.
