Prince Harry’s UN Speech Allegedly Aimed at Promoting Future Projects, Claims Royal Biographer

In a recent interview with talk TV host Piers Morgan, royal biographer Tom Bauer discussed his upcoming book, “Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” set to release on July 21.

During the conversation, Bauer delved into Prince Harry's latest appearance and speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

According to Bauer, the Duke's presence at the UN was primarily focused on boosting his profile and generating interest in the future projects of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Bauer revealed that everything Harry and Meghan do revolves around their forthcoming documentary series.

Piers Morgan questioned the biographer about the motivation behind this strategy and what Harry hopes to achieve.

Bauer responded by stating that Harry needs a high-profile image to secure financial gains, particularly through partnerships with platforms like Netflix.

In essence, the Sussexes are leveraging their influence to promote themselves and their upcoming endeavors.

Piers Morgan further inquired whether the UN should have refrained from involving individuals like Prince Harry.

Bauer expressed his skepticism, pointing out that the auditorium appeared relatively empty during Harry's speech.

He also criticized the UN for being known as a hub of empty promises and rhetoric.

Bauer then shifted the conversation to Nelson Mandela's legacy, suggesting that South Africa could have experienced a different fate if the iconic leader had lived longer.

He criticized Harry for seemingly overlooking Africa's self-inflicted problems while residing in luxury in Montecito.

Since establishing their production company, Meghan and Harry secured a lucrative deal with Netflix, reportedly valued at $100 million.

However, details regarding Archule's production commitments to the streaming giant have been scarce, except for the cancellation of one series and the announcement of an upcoming reality show.

Moreover, it is now believed that the couple did not receive the full $100 million upfront but rather a smaller portion of the sum.

Experts suggest that Meghan and Harry's deal with Netflix may be in the six-figure range, but it is unlikely that they received the entire amount initially.

A TV and film consultant from Los Angeles, experienced in working on Netflix projects, explained that the couple might have received a few million dollars as an advanced development deal to pitch ideas, concepts, and create pilot episodes.

However, the $100 million figure primarily covers the overall production costs of their projects, with Archule providing a detailed breakdown of fees for various aspects of the show's creation.

The consultant clarified that the final sum agreed upon by Netflix also considers the potential profits for the company.

Depending on the deal, companies can receive up to 20% of the total profits, while others settle for less.

Each agreement is unique.

Although the exact terms negotiated by the Duke and Duchess remain undisclosed, it is common for writers and executive producers to have specific amounts outlined in production budgets.

Additionally, it is unclear whether the royal couple negotiated performance-based bonuses, similar to showrunners who have collaborated with Netflix in the past.

If such bonuses are included, Meghan and Harry could potentially earn a more substantial amount once their projects air.

Reports suggest that Netflix camera crews have been granted access to the couple's residence in Montecito.

Furthermore, these crews have been spotted accompanying Prince Harry and Meghan during their recent visit to New York City and their trip to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

This access further solidifies the partnership between the Sussexes and the streaming platform, highlighting the level of involvement and commitment from both parties.

In conclusion, Prince Harry's speech at the UN headquarters has come under scrutiny, with claims that it primarily served as a promotional tool for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's future projects.

The couple's deal with Netflix, reportedly worth $100 million, has raised questions about the specifics of their agreement and the actual amount received upfront.
