Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk making “a repeat of the problem” they had with Spotify amid reports their multimillion-dollar Netflix deal is in jeopardy, a royal expert claims. It’s been speculated that the Sussexes’ five-year deal with the streaming giant, set for renewal next year, could be axed, and royal author Tom Quinn says he believes it would be a huge blow for the couple.

“Harry and Meghan are on the brink of losing their multi-million-dollar Netflix contract for the simple reason that Netflix expected a great deal more from the couple,” he told The Mirror.

The Duke and Duchess’ contract with music and podcast hub Spotify was previously axed early due to a lack of projects, and Quinn says the couple are keen to avoid a similar outcome. The royal commentator added: “It’s very likely to be a repeat of the problem with the couple’s Spotify contract which came to an abrupt end in 2023 after Harry and Meghan failed, according to a Spotify spokesperson, to meet ‘productivity benchmarks.”

Despite the speculation, the royal couple are currently working on new content for Netflix. Meghan has reportedly joined forces with the streaming giant for a cookery and lifestyle show based on American Riviera Orchard, her new brand.

Harry, meanwhile, is currently producing a new documentary about the world of international polo. A representative for the Sussexes has been approached for comment.
