Netflix deal, looking like it may be over for H&M

[Thedom]

The rumours have been doing the rounds for a while, but Puck News now reporting it, which means it is very likely that their contract with Netflix will not be renewed.

"The streamer is not expected to renew its five-year, $100 million deal signed in 2020 with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Meghan’s passion project, the animated kids show Pearl, has already been canceled, and the unscripted cooking and polo offerings didn’t connect the way the royal couple’s Harry & Meghan did. "

Why is this being put out on the anniversary of Princess Diana's death? Very interesting choice of date to leak this.

And it’s strange that he’s seeking out old advisers….when they were previously just men in grey suits running an institution!

Its so odd.

An odd date, we know he’s in the UK and he’s putting out info that he wants to come back to the UK on a low key basis

Meanwhile in the US Meghan is putting out PR on her new influencer business moving forward. A business that is just hers

We are not hearing about their joint Netflix ventures AT ALL. Is that over?

Their tour of Colombia, meghan was the star of the show and Harry looked like he was struggling.

Something is going on

Well. If he's coming back, one can only assume he's being jettisoned by the earring-wearing straw handbag saleswoman.

There's also the fact that if he wants to mend bridges then he needs to do it before his brother inherits the top job. I think the public will accept him back, without Meghan, and as an older version of that broken little boy that people remember walking behind his mother's coffin. The only way it will work is if the men in grey suits can make everyone feel sorry for him. I don't think there's a real possibility of him being accepted back if still married to Meghan. To rehabilitate his image he needs to come back as 'poor Harry', doing low key visits and looking sad.

I don't think he is acceptable any more as a part of the working RF team.

I think Harry can want all he likes but both William and Charles were both at the Sandringham summit where Harry was told no, you are either in our out, he is just trying to get this halfway house deal again and therefore all his security both here and internationally paid for by the tax payer plus the return of his IPP status and of course he will expect the keys to Frogmore Cottage again. His new proposal to Charles will be that he wants to return to the fold but Meghan will do her influencer thing in America and stay there, he wants the half in half out deal just for him. Charles being weak would probably agree, however William is another matter and I can’t see Charles wanting to face the wrath of William by agreeing.

Maybe he has realised that being a 'spare' in your own country is preferable to being a 'spare' in someone else's?

Yes in the bigger picture, he was only gone from the UK for 6 years. That's a flash in the pan for a starter marriage. If they divorce and he comes back, reconciles with W&K and then settles down in the UK with a second wife and family, then history will barely remember this episode.

P.S. he's also got to be thinking whether he wants to sink his 40th birthday inheritance into common funds. I've always thought M would hang on for that payday.

I think this is down to money . Yes I know Harry has had large inheritances however he and M have a hugely expensive lifestyle. Mortgage , security , advisers , domestic staff , private jets etc etc . They need a constant income stream to maintain that lifestyle.
I am sure Charles wants a reconciliation however William is a different story . As for Meghan ? I can’t see her being welcomed back !

I can’t see her wanting to come back either. If any of this turns out to be true, I wonder if they have realised how much they need to maintain their connection to the Royals, and they are thinking they can only do this if Harry is somehow able to worm his way back in to the fold 🤷‍♀️

I don't think Charles is weak on this issue. He has been reported - by both camps - as not taking H's calls any more. Charles has been dealing with H's sh1t privately for a long time; and the 15-min snub-meet in Feb indicates to me he's comfortably low-contact now.

I am not sure Charles wants a reconciliation. Why would he? Harry is an elder abuser.

Any parent here on MN describing a grown child treating them (75) and their parents (late 90s) as badly as H has would be advised to go lo/no- contact.

Is the anniversary today? I guess that's why Ch5 had yet another Diana documentary on. I can't believe it's been 27 years. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Wow, that's an interesting turn of events, if it's accurate, I guess it was only a matter of time before this happened.

It has been rumoured for a while they are mostly living separately, he looked humiliated and miserable in Colombia and Nigeria, can't be easy for someone with his arrogance and ego to be sidelined by anyone, let alone his wife, the 'great love story' appears to be quite fractured, despite their efforts to portray the opposite.

Harry is probably leaning into his old friends for support, he had a loyal bunch of friends who will likely step up and help him through whatever is going on. I doubt William will ever be able to forgive him for what Harry did to his family and the majority of the british public will never want to see him representing Britain or the Royal family again for a very long time.

If Harry is in a mess, he needs to go back to America and sort it out like a grown up. It's utterly pathetic (if it's true) that he wants the hated grey men to sort out his problems. He can start by going on Gayle King, Oprah, Andersen Cooper and the rest and publicly apologising to his family in the UK for what he's put them through.

I think the thing Harry seems oblivious to is the amount of hurt and stress he caused the Queen in her last year's. She gave them everything - fancy wedding, titles, commonwealth roles, a house , special treatment for M,- and within 2 years they were on Oprah saying the family was cold and racist. The Queen's DC and dgc will find this very hard to forgive. It is not just a case of Harry 'deciding to move on'. He caused pain to his family.

Would Harry really come back without Meghan and the children? I hope not. That would be pretty awful for the kids and not something I would wish on them.

I think the Mail just make stuff up. Throw in a few unnamed ‘friends’ and they mostly get away with it. They have form for this nonsense - don’t get sucked in.

This 100%

Tbf I'm sure many of the family is cold and racist. Prince Philip is known for his outrageous racist comments

Perhaps you have mixed with the RF a lot. Please would you give us two examples of Prince Philip's outrageous racist comments?

After he died there were programmes on the TV about Prince Philip. One of them talked about a time when he met some people in their native costumes and they were carrying spears. The report was that he asked if they were still throwing spears at one another or words to that effect and it became a story with the press. Someone on the programme said that on the same day or the day before he had already met another tribe who really did throw their spears, probably not at one another but at least far enough away so they did no damage. In effect, a re-creation of how a battle used to be. The same sort of thing as is acted out in the UK. That put his remark into a different perspective. Do you know for certain that that explanation is untrue? If so, please point us there.

Did you see those old men at the D Day celebrations this year? If they lived through WW2 I bet they had words for the Italians, the Egyptians and the Japanese which would send you into paroxysms of accusation. They're regarded as sweet old darlings nowadays.

You have a super selective memory, he was always making racist comments. Have you been living under a rock

I rather doubt it; it doesn't sound as though Chrsytalchondalier knows Prince Philip is dead.

Using the past tense would suggest I do 😆
