Six years ago, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left royal life behind, the couple relocated to the US and quickly landed a number of media deals. While their infamous Oprah interview, which aired in 2021, was watched by millions across the globe and even went on to receive an Emmy Award nomination, it's the Sussexes lucrative Netflix deal that continues to garner the most attention.
The couple signed a contract with the streaming platform in 2020, worth a reported $100 million, and in the years that followed they released a joint tell-all documentary, Harry & Meghan, as well as two seasons of Meghan's lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. As their five-year agreement came to a close last year, there was speculation that they wouldn't renew their contract with Netflix. However, it was later announced that the Sussexes signed a "multi-year, first-look deal" with the platform instead; the key difference between their original contract and the renewed deal meant that Netflix would ultimately have the power to approve or refuse the content they want to create.
