Meghan Markle fronts Netflix slate as Prince Harry searches for role

Prince Harry is facing fresh scrutiny over his post-royal path as commentators claim he’s “lost” amid the fallout from Sentebale’s boardroom bust-up, and as Meghan Markle takes the lead on their renewed Netflix slate.

The Charity Commission recently said it found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment at Sentebale, while criticizing both sides for letting the dispute spill into the press. 

Days later, Netflix confirmed a multi-year first-look deal with the Sussexes, highlighting Meghan’s second season of With Love, Meghan and a December holiday special, while listing Harry primarily as producer on a short documentary about the HIV crisis in Uganda.

Broadcaster Esther Krakue told The Sun that Harry is “trying to find his own thing,” arguing the creative charge is “really Meghan’s push.” She added the Duke has “lost value in terms of entertainment,” noting he’s “not a creative.”

The comments follow soft performance claims around the couple’s recent titles. 

Meghan’s With Love, Meghan reportedly ranked 383rd globally with 5.3M views, while Harry’s Polo doc allegedly landed around 3,436th with, 500k views. 

Even so, the new Netflix pact keeps Archewell’s pipeline open, with Meghan fronting lifestyle content and Harry pivoting to issue-driven projects, setting up a telling few months for Team Sussex.
