Earlier this month The Duke and Duchess of Sussex parted ways with Spotify, marking the end of Meghan Markle's 'Archetype' podcast [click here if you missed that].
Now insiders claim the couple have received an ultimatum from Netflix...
From The Sun
HARRY and Meghan have been told to come up with more must-watch shows for Netflix if they want to be paid £40million in outstanding fees, it is claimed.
The couple’s six-part soul-baring series was the streaming giant’s most-viewed documentary.
But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £81million contract.
And they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest, an industry source has revealed.
The source said the US giant is happy with the viewing figures for the couple’s Harry & Meghan series.
It proves they can be box-office hits with the right format.
But if no suitable follow-ups can be agreed, the outstanding cash will not be handed over, it is claimed.
But the couple will not face a public split similar to their one with Spotify.
Their Archewell company’s £18million deal with the platform was ended by mutual agreement after Meghan, 41, produced only 13 broadcasts in two-and-a half years.
The industry source said of the Netflix arrangement: “There’s no question of a headline-grabbing, public parting of the way.
