Harry and Meghan’s Multi-Million Dollar Deals Hit Roadblocks

Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have recently faced setbacks in their multi-million dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix.

The couple announced on Friday that their highly anticipated $20 million contract with Spotify had come to an abrupt end, producing only one series of Meghan's 12-part Archetypes podcast and a short holiday special.

Similarly, their Netflix projects have been affected by the ongoing Hollywood writer's strike, causing delays in production.

In recent months, Harry and Meghan have been in the spotlight, making headlines with various endeavors.

From Harry's memoir, “Spare,” to the speculation surrounding their potential return to the royal family, they have been hard to avoid.

However, it seems that now they are hoping to take a step back from the public eye.

Their spokesperson clarified that they are not hiding or trying to lay low, but they won't always be at the forefront.

They are looking forward to spending quality time with their children during the summer break and are ready to focus on their future endeavors.

This decision may have been influenced by the dwindling contact with other senior members of the royal family.

The lack of public acknowledgment of Princess Lilibet's second birthday earlier this month suggests that even the pretense of a harmonious relationship within the family has faded away.

However, some have raised questions about the statement regarding their children being “off for the summer.”

How can two kids under the age of five have a summer break?

Preschools typically follow a regular school year with optional summer sessions, but if Lily is attending anything, it would likely be daycare, which operates year-round.

Upon interviewing parents in the Montecito area, it became clear that their children under five do not have a typical summer schedule.

It appears that the couple may be using their children as an excuse to lie low.

Critics argue that Harry and Meghan's credibility has been compromised once again.

They question how anyone can take them seriously, especially considering the principal of Montecito Union School, where the Sussex children are rumored to attend, denies the claim that daycare facilities close for the summer.

Lily is too young to attend anything other than daycare, while Archie, if he is in preschool, could potentially have the summer off.

It seems that the couple's attempt to downplay their public presence may be met with skepticism.

Additionally, the ongoing writers' strike has posed challenges for the couple's projects in development.

The Writers Guild of America called for a strike after contract negotiations stalled, resulting in the halt of numerous film and TV productions across the United States.

Despite these obstacles, a source close to the Sussexes insists that they have other projects in the works, which are expected to commence filming soon.

Furthermore, Harry and Meghan are reportedly diving into early-phase projects unrelated to Netflix or Spotify, as well as focusing on their charitable work through the Archwell Foundation.

While Harry and Meghan navigate these roadblocks in their professional endeavors, it remains to be seen how they will adapt and overcome these challenges.

Their future projects and contributions to various causes will undoubtedly continue to attract attention and scrutiny from both supporters and critics alike.
