Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have recently disclosed plans to develop two new shows in collaboration with Netflix.
However, Netflix has yet to officially confirm the cooking show centered around Polo, leaving room for speculation. Meghan's penchant for proposing ideas suggests her involvement in pitching concepts, yet it remains uncertain until Netflix greenlights the projects. The couple's foundation, Archewell, is tasked with the show creation process, leaving Netflix to approve the final products.
However, the prospects of these shows hitting the airwaves appear uncertain, given potential limited interest in Meghan's culinary twists or Harry's Polo adventures, which may not resonate with a broad audience.
The premature announcement of these ventures raises eyebrows, hinting at Meghan's eagerness to establish revenue streams amidst uncertainties. The rushed release of a poorly constructed web page and an ambiguous video seems reactionary, possibly sparked by Netflix's rejection of the lifestyle cooking show concept.
It appears Meghan aimed to entice Netflix with her tea show idea, only to face initial disinterest. While initial assumptions pointed fingers at Catherine's actions, a subsequent cancer announcement shortly after Meghan's Orchard debut suggests deeper underlying tensions, possibly linked to disappointment with Netflix's response.
Now, Meghan claims to step back from additional business launches, citing respect for Catherine's illness or subtly shifting blame, leaving room for interpretation. Despite Archewell's notification of show production with different companies and visual evidence of filming, such as crew images from the Polo event, footage from Hawaii, and moments with Archie, none of these have materialized into actual shows. Moreover, the status of the previously announced film, "Meet Me at the Lake," remains uncertain, raising concerns over delayed production, potentially straining the Netflix partnership further.
Speculation arises over Netflix's future association with the couple, especially with their contract set to expire in 2025. Lady C's book hints at Netflix strategically waiting until the final series of "The Crown" aired before severing ties, likely to avoid backlash from Prince Harry. Netflix's silence on the matter raises questions about the fate of the couple's content production deal. With ongoing delays and uncertainties surrounding current projects, there's skepticism regarding the potential success of future endeavors under the Netflix umbrella.
