Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'ruffled feathers' at Netflix as $98m deal in doubt

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to have "ruffled feathers" at Netflix, leaving their deal looking rather vulnerable.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were dealt a blow earlier this month when their $20million Spotify deal came to an end, and now it seems that their $98 million Netflix deal is "hanging in the balance".

Meghan's Archetypes podcast was not renewed by Spotify and she has been left feeling "knocked sideways" after she and her husband were branded "grifters" by a top Spotify executive, according to reports.

But more trouble could be on the horizon for the couple, who stepped back as senior royals in the Royal family in 2020, as a fresh report states that Netflix could cut ties with the pair too.

A new report in a recent issue of Closer Magazine claims that a source at Netflix, which is where Harry and Meghan have one of their one few remaining deals, "could end their £78 million deal" - which totals to more than $98 million.

The magazine then adds that Meghan and Harry's millions could be "dented" should the deal get pulled from under them, due to the lifestyle in which they are used to living.

The source went on to tell the magazine that the couple have "ruffled feathers" at Netflix, which seems to have caused some tension.

The Mirror US have reached out to Harry and Meghan's representatives for comment.

Not only this, but the magazine also reports that a source has told of how Meghan "can't believe she's been attacked so viciously and so publicly" by Spotify and one of their execs.

They added that with the couple being labelled as 'grifters' is "humiliating".

This comes after Meghan and Harry were axed from Spotify following their initial one-off episode together before Meghan launched her own series - Archetypes.

The 12-episode series saw Meghan chat to different celebrity pals, including tennis icon Serena Williams, legendary singer Mariah Carey, and socialite Paris Hilton.
