Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sign deal with Netflix, plus more news

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sign deal with Netflix

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a multi-year deal with Netflix for their unnamed production company. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will produce documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and shows for children. The deal comes six months after the couple chose to break away from the royal family, withdrawing from their official duties to embark in a more private life. As they withdrew from their duties, they also lost financial support from the family, and there was heavy speculation on how they would make money moving forward. The financial details of this deal were not made public. The couple made a statement regarding their new endeavor, saying, “Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.” The two may appear on camera in documentary programming, but despite Markle’s background as an actress, she has no plans to return to acting. Harry, who founded the Invictus Games for wounded veterans, recently appeared in the Netflix documentary, “Rising Phoenix” about the Paralympic games.
