Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix Project Faces Delays Amid Ongoing Writers’ Strike

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, find themselves in a bind as their Netflix production deal faces uncertainty due to an ongoing writers' strike in Hollywood.

The couple signed with the streaming platform shortly after stepping back from their royal duties, but their progress has been hindered since then.

Despite being two years into their production deal, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have only managed to release one major project on Netflix so far.

The six-part documentary series, titled “Harry and Meghan,” is the sole outcome of their collaboration with the streaming giant.

However, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) members have been threatening to strike until their demands are met.

This has put a halt to the couple's plans for future projects, leaving their hands tied.

An insider has expressed concerns about the financial implications this strike may have on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The recent Emmy snub, where their documentary failed to receive any nominations, has further added to their troubles.

It is believed that this setback has strained their relationship with Netflix, especially considering the recent termination of their contract with Spotify.

Rumors have surfaced suggesting that the Netflix deal itself is now at risk.

An Emmy nomination could have significantly boosted their $100 million agreement.

Unfortunately, Prince Harry's involvement in a new documentary focusing on humanitarian issues in South Africa is expected to face significant delays due to the ongoing strike.

Moreover, the picketing of major studios by writers and technical staff has further complicated matters.

As a result, the flow of income for Meghan and Harry has been disrupted, making it even more challenging for them without the support of their Spotify deal.

All of these circumstances beg the question: wouldn't life have been simpler if they had chosen to remain in the palace?

Last week, reports emerged that Prince Harry had reached out to his brother, Prince William, to discuss a potential return to the UK.

Their relationship has been strained since Harry's decision to step down in March 2020, and the remarks made by both Harry and Meghan in the documentary have only deepened the rift.

Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, titled “Spare,” is believed to further exacerbate the differences between the two brothers.

The last time they were photographed together was at the King's Coronation in May, where they maintained minimal interaction with senior members of the family.
