Meghan Markle and Prince Harry praised for 'fulfilling agreement' with Netflix deal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been praised for fulfilling exactly what they agreed to with their Netflix deal agreement.This is despite the constant criticism over the several series and documentaries they have released. Meghan and Harry signed the lucrative deal with the popular streaming service in 2020, shortly after stepping down as senior working royals and moving to the US.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror: "It's quite obvious that Netflix got involved with them because they wanted the inside story of their royal life. And they got it."

Despite signing the contract in 2020, the royal couple only released their six-part docuseries in December 2022.

The highly-controversial series, which was released split across two days, saw the pair discuss their experience of royal life - as well as their own personal love story.

Via their Netflix deal, the couple - who met during the summer of 2016 and tied the knot less than two years later - also released a few other productions, including Polo and, most recently, Meghan's show titled With Love, Meghan.

Welcoming their son Archie in May 2019, the pair later annouced their plans to step down from royal duties and moved to the US - where they settled in California. The couple now reside in Montecito with Archie and their daughter Lilibet, whom they welcomed in 2021.

Amid their major life change, the couple were involved in a bitter feud with some members of the Royal Family - with them eventually using their docuseries - and their interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry's bombshell memoir - to spread a host of vicious claims about the family.

With the couple's Netflix deal set to come to an end this year, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has previously spoke on whether it will likely be renewed.

Speaking to Variety earlier this year, he said: "I don't want to comment on anyone's renewals.

"In general, the ones that we've had are bespoke and rationalized around output. I think of them as 'show-verall' deals. We outline what we're going to do together over the next five years and package it in a deal."
