It has become increasingly evident that the general public holds a strong disapproval towards the couple, leading to the loss of some highly profitable agreements. One prominent example is Meghan Markle's Spotify deal, valued at approximately $20 million.
Now, there are indications that they might face the possibility of losing another collaboration with Netflix, as the network has reportedly advised the couple to enhance their entertainment value or risk getting the cut.
From TMZ:
According to The Sun, Netflix honchos have recently had a convo with the ex-Royal couple ... supposedly telling them to make better, must-see content -- or risk not getting the rest of their $100-million-plus contract ... which they've already gotten about half of at this point.
Indeed ... the reported conditions have been set -- namely, Meg and Harry must produce higher quality shows, docs, and/or movies to claim the rest of their bag ... and if they don't, Netflix is apparently prepared to cut their deal short and refuse to pay 'em out in full.
The Sun goes on to say -- citing an unnamed source claiming to be plugged in -- Netflix was happy with the results for their bombshell doc ... but have been disappointed about everything after that, which presumably includes PH's forthcoming Invictus docuseries (which is still happening and coming out around August). Anything else though is nowhere to be found.
The report notes Meghan pitched an idea for an animated series about a girl inspired by historical female figures -- but that got dropped by Netflix. It would seem they didn't think it was compelling ... a recurring theme we're now hearing about them as creatives.
Now, on the prospect of potentially cutting 'em loose unless they deliver ... The Sun's source says the streaming giant wouldn't do it as publicly/humiliatingly as Spotify did. However, they do concede it would grab big headlines in and of itself ... and probably be a bad look.
If Netflix decides to cancel Meghan and Harry's show, it could potentially mark the start of a downward spiral for the couple.
Despite their current financial prosperity, the sources of their wealth appear to be diminishing rapidly, with their current agreements essentially hanging on by a threat.
