Amid challenges in securing a CEO for her American Riviera Orchard venture, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is taking proactive steps to uphold her recent entrepreneurial endeavors.
According to insights shared by royal author Richard Eden in the Daily Mail, Markle has initiated negotiations with Netflix after facing setbacks in appointing a Chief Executive Officer for her cooking and lifestyle business.
"The search for a CEO has hit roadblocks," revealed a source based in California, as cited by Eden.
Consequently, Markle is advocating for a commercial collaboration with Netflix, presenting a novel avenue for the streaming platform.
"This marks uncharted territory for Netflix," divulged an insider familiar with the discussions. "It involves co-managing the lifestyle business alongside Meghan, with potential product expansions stemming from her show."
Should discussions culminate in an agreement, Netflix may opt to assign its own CEO to oversee operations, mirroring successful partnerships exemplified by industry figures like Chip and Joanna Gaines, renowned for Fixer Upper.
In a parallel narrative, akin to the entrepreneurial strides seen in the Magnolia Network, Markle's envisioned collaboration with Netflix could open doors to broader market access, offering lifestyle products inspired by her brand's ethos.
