Industry insiders reveal that the Duchess of Sussex’s insistence on filming at an ultra exclusive $4 million per night private Villa has sent production costs spiraling out of control.
Marco’s additional requirements have pushed the budget into what one Netflix executive called delusional territory, including specially imported Egyptian cotton sheets, a personal aromatherapist on standby 24/7, and a chef who had to fly in specific ingredients from three different continents.
The situation has created tension between Megan and Netflix’s top brass, who are struggling to justify the astronomical cost to their shareholders industry.
Analysts suggest that the streaming service already facing subscriber challenges canel afford such lavish expenditures, especially for a project whose concept has been described as nebulous at best.
The fallout has been Swift, and several senior producers have allegedly threatened to resign citing impossible working conditions and unprecedented demands. Industry insiders suggest that this latest controversy might jeopardize her entire deal with Netflix, estimated to be worth around $100 million.
The situation has also created ripples within the Royal circle, with sources close to Buckingham Palace suggesting that this latest controversy validates their concerns about Megan’s approach to public life and financial responsibility.
Netflix executives are reportedly in emergency meetings to find a way to salvage the project without completely alienating their high-profile talent, but with Megan allegedly unwilling to compromise on her vision, the standoff threatens to become one of Hollywood’s most expensive production disasters.
