Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a scaled-back multi-year agreement with Netflix, replacing their original 2020 $100 million deal. The revised contract gives Netflix first-look rights on proposed projects rather than guaranteeing large upfront payments.
What the New Deal Includes
Under the updated terms, Netflix will:
- Produce Season 2 of With Love, Meghan and a Christmas special featuring the couple.
- Back Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within, a documentary on orphaned Ugandan children affected by HIV/AIDS.
- Develop an adaptation of the romance novel Meet Me At The Lake.
- Continue working with Meghan’s As Ever brand on future productions.
Meghan Markle’s Statement
“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally,” Markle said.
From $100M to a Slimmer Contract
When Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020, they signed a $100 million deal with Netflix.
- Harry & Meghan (2022) set records with 23.4 million views in four days.
- With Love, Meghan struggled, ranking 383rd in 2025 with 5.3 million views, prompting Netflix to tighten control over new projects.
Prince Harry Steps Down From Sentebale
Away from streaming, Prince Harry resigned as patron of Sentebale, the children’s charity he co-founded in 2006.
The move follows:
- A governance dispute and trustee resignations.
- Allegations from board chair Dr Sophie Chandauka of bullying and harassment — claims the Charity Commission found unsubstantiated.
Despite stepping down, Harry remains “absolutely committed” to supporting children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana, with his future role still under review.
