Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bankruptcy talks takes off
Experts are expressing growing concerns about the financial outlook for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2025, particularly in light of the couple’s uncertain income sources. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams discussed these concerns in a recent conversation with GB News, pointing out the critical role Netflix plays in the couple’s financial stability.
Fitzwilliams emphasized that the couple’s £80 million contract with Netflix is “absolutely pivotal” to their plans moving forward. “What they need is her cookery series for Netflix,” he stated, highlighting that the renewal of this contract in 2024 is crucial for their financial future.
He explained that their success relies heavily on this deal, stating, “What is absolutely pivotal is the renewal of the contract with Netflix next year, so precisely what happens in the coming months financially is vital.”
Fitzwilliams also commented on how the couple has managed their separation of work, noting that it “seems to be working perfectly well” so far, without any major issues. He went on to explain how this strategy has allowed them to maintain a steady presence in the media while managing to keep their personal and professional lives distinct.
However, Fitzwilliams did express concern about the couple’s lack of substantial income from other sources. “They lost Spotify a while ago, and it doesn’t seem there is anything substantial financially that we know of that is coming up,” he pointed out.
With the couple’s podcast deal with Spotify ending, their financial future hinges on new projects and the continuation of their Netflix contract. Looking ahead, Fitzwilliams suggested that Meghan’s upcoming cookery show, along with projects like “American Riviera Orchard,” could be significant income earners for her.
“When American Riviera Orchard and Meghan’s cookery show is launched, that will certainly give her a good deal more than her occasional appearance,” he added. As the couple works to secure new financial ventures, their ongoing partnership with Netflix will play a major role in determining their economic stability in the coming years.
