Prince Harry seems to have made another decision that has upset Netflix bosses, and this choice could risk his important contract with them.
Back in 2020, after Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, decided to step away from their senior roles in the royal family, they signed a big deal with Netflix. This deal, worth millions of dollars, was supposed to give them a platform to create new and exciting content. But now, they are facing pressure because their contract is running out, and they haven’t delivered what Netflix had hoped for.
Their first major project with Netflix, the “Harry & Meghan” docuseries, was a big success. After that, Netflix expected more hit shows from the couple. However, their latest project has not lived up to expectations, and Netflix is disappointed because the show isn’t giving viewers what they really want.
A Hollywood producer shared their thoughts with Express.co.uk, explaining that if someone tunes into a polo show created by Prince Harry, they expect Harry to be the main focus. People want to see Harry on screen. But in this new series, Harry barely appears, which has left viewers feeling let down. Polo is not a sport that many people follow, so the main draw of the show would have been seeing Harry. Without him, it becomes much less interesting to a broader audience.
The show, titled “Polo,” instead focuses on Harry’s close friend, Nacho Figueras, who is a well-known polo player. Harry’s minimal role in the series has disappointed viewers, and this has raised concerns about what this means for Harry and Meghan’s future with Netflix.
The same Hollywood producer mentioned that Netflix hasn’t been too impressed with what they’ve gotten from Harry and Meghan so far. Viewers want more personal, inside stories about the couple. Aside from the popular docuseries about their departure from the royal family, the other projects they’ve worked on have been less exciting and have not met the high expectations.
Ever since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February, Harry and Meghan have stopped speaking publicly against the royal family. They have been keeping a low profile when it comes to family matters.
At the same time, Prince Harry is making efforts to repair his relationship with his father, King Charles. He hopes to rebuild their bond and maintain a better, more peaceful connection with the royal family. In the future, there might even be a chance that Harry could rejoin the royal fold, which seems to be his goal.
