Duchess of Sussex gives royal family breathing room as Netflix ends deal
As tensions rise around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future following the reported collapse of their Netflix deal, a surprising move by Meghan has provided unexpected relief for King Charles.
With their five-year contract with the streaming giant set to expire in September and no renewal in sight, royal experts have warned of the financial and reputational implications for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Commentators like Richard Fitzwilliams have speculated that the couple might turn to publish another bombshell memoir to maintain income and relevance.
“The royals will be concerned that the Sussexes could publish another memoir — and this time it could be Meghan,” Fitzwilliams told Express, referencing Harry's previous claim that he cut 400 pages from Spare due to their potential toxicity toward the royal family.
However, Meghan recently put those fears to rest — at least for now. Speaking on her friend Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast, the Duchess said, “I’ve got a lot more life to live before I’m there,” when asked about a possible memoir.
Her comments have been seen as a welcome development for Buckingham Palace, signaling a pause in any potential public exposés. In a time of uncertainty, Meghan's decision may be helping to ease royal anxieties — if only temporarily — as the monarchy braces for what comes next.
