Netflix Wants To Cut A Deal With Prince Harry And Meghan After Reality Show Was Rejected By Couple
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s deal with Netflix has been one of the biggest in the streaming giant’s history. The payout of the royal couple, which was a whopping $150 million is amongst the top 10 payouts for Netflix.
The couple’s fee sits right next to Shonda Rhymes, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and many others.
But what does that mean for the couple? With that amount of money being shelled out by Netflix, there are some things that the streaming company wants from the royal couple.
Rumors of a fly-on-the-wall reality show were said to be on the top of the list of Netflix planned for the couple.
Cameras were said to have followed the couple for a three-month period, showing their life in their upscale California home. This took Hollywood by storm as reality shows are one of the biggest moneymakers in Hollywood.
These rumors have been unfortunately debunked by the royal couple themselves. In a rare statement, the Sussex’s had to say something about the absurd rumors about their reality TV.
Royal commentators discussed this move of the couple saying that the denial of the couple may have stemmed after the sudden revelation of there plans to have a reality show about them.
They also mentioned that Netflix will want something big in return from the couple. Although the company would obviously support Harry and Meghan’s vision, they also want something of their own as well.
It was believed that the fly-on-the-wall reality show will showcase Harry and Meghan’s work, especially the charities and organizations they are supporting and not their own private lives.
This seemingly is what Netflix wanted but with a little glimpse of how they go about their lives in a day to day basis.
Harry and Meghan have firmly announced their vision with their Netflix deal. The couple is headed in a path wherein they will be producing TV shows, documentaries and animated films that will showcase important issues in the world.
It has been reported that their first project, an animated series that aims to empower women is already in preproduction.
As for Netflix’s plans with the Sussex’s, these have been put in a setback with the rumors probably being leaked information.
The couple also needs to be careful about the platform they will be working with as part of their deal with the royal firm is to uphold the Queen’s name in all that they do.
