Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are tipped to make a major comeback after their crumbling Netflix deal, according to a PR expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a multi-million-pound deal, reportedly worth around £12million, with the streaming giant in 2020, shortly after their sensational departure from the Royal Family.
So far, the Sussexes have produced five projects for Netflix, but apart from their first eponymous docuseries, released in 2022, the rest have failed to gain the viewers’ interest, consistently ranking low in various charts. As their contract expires in September, reports claimed that the streamer will not be looking to renew it, which was seen as a huge blow to the couple’s income stream.
But a PR expert has told us that Harry and Meghan can still “reinvent” themself despite the setback.
Edward Coram-James, CEO of Go Up, told the Express that the Montecito couple can still negotiate various deals with other market competitors because their names still attract “interest worldwide.”
He explained: “The Sussexes’ joint brand is tarnished, but they still command enormous interest worldwide.
They’ve alienated both traditional royal supporters and progressive audiences who initially championed them.
“Their global fame is enormous, and they can still reinvent and attract new deals.”
The PR expert even suggested that the Duchess could return to acting and urged the public not to “count them out”.
He said: “Netflix’s loss might be someone else’s gain, Apple TV+, Amazon, or even a return to more traditional media, such as acting, for Meghan.
“Never count out the Sussexes.”
