After the recent shows of Prince Harry Netflix underperformants, Meghan Markle seems to take care of Duke’s media career.
According to a report of Radaronline.com, Industry sources have said that after the recent Netflix projects of the Duke of Sussex are badly received by the public, the Duchess of Sussex “transports” all the driving force behind his production company, Archewell, and has become an “woman’s operation”.
“Netflix learned that Meghan is the one with media instincts. She is polite, ready for the camera and understands how to build a brand,” said a senior source of production in The Outlet, noting: “Even if her programs are always mocked, she still understands the camera of her actor days.”
“Harry’s ideas did not work – the public is simply not there. At this point, it is the face of the company and it takes a rear seat,” continued the initiate.
It is relevant to mention that Meghan and Harry have signed a $ 100 million partnership over five years with Netflix in 2020.
Sussex documents 2022 Harry and Meghan won a solid audience, but she sparked criticism for criticizing the royal family in the show.
In addition, Harry’s solo projects are struggling to perform because his recent Polo program would have won less than 500,000 viewers.
“Harry wanted to show a side of the sport that people had not seen,” said an initiate familiar with their historic agreement. “But he did not connect. The subject felt disconnected, and production lacked energy.”
However, Meghan’s new kitchen show With love, Meghan won a higher audience and a second season surprise renewal this summer.
“Meghan’s work could divide opinion, but that attracts attention. This is what cares about Netflix. The renewal was as much on its profile as the performance of the program,” added another source of the industry.
“The streamer wants to keep it on board,” the publisher told a public relations consultant based in Los Angeles. “Harry’s creative role has been reduced to the production of credits and behind the scenes. He has lost momentum.”
