Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix Deal Sparks Controversy

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have once again found themselves in the spotlight as a royal biographer has criticized their decision to involve their children in their Netflix deal.

The couple, who stepped down as working royals and moved to the US in 2020, are reportedly working on a documentary series showcasing their lives in California as part of a lucrative agreement with the streaming giant.

Royal biographer Duncan Larkham expressed concerns about the couple's intention to feature their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, in the upcoming series.

In an interview with Bella magazine, Larkham questioned the couple's motives, asking how they could resist showcasing their children in a fly-on-the-wall docu-series, especially considering the substantial financial gain involved.

Larkham further speculated that Netflix would expect more than just mundane footage of Prince Harry's daily activities, emphasizing the need for a glimpse into the reality of the couple's lives.

He suggested that viewers might witness intimate moments, arguments, and revelations that could potentially stir controversy.

The biographer criticized Meghan and Harry's decision to collaborate with Netflix, labeling it as a contradictory move given the couple's previous claims of valuing their privacy.

Larkham pointed out the irony of the couple seeking a quieter, lower-profile life while simultaneously engaging in a high-profile documentary project that exposes their private lives for public consumption.

In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle's popularity in the United States appears to be dwindling, according to foreign policy expert Niall Gardner.

Gardner noted a significant decline in the public favorability towards Meghan and Harry over the past year, attributing it to controversial statements made by the couple, particularly during their interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

Following the interview, a survey conducted by YouGov revealed a notable decrease in Meghan's favorability ratings among US adults.

The results indicated a sharp decline in positive perceptions of the Duchess of Sussex, with less than half of respondents expressing a favorable view of her.

As public opinion continues to shift, Meghan and Harry's decision to pursue a high-profile partnership with Netflix may further impact their standing in the eyes of the public.

The couple's quest for financial independence and their eagerness to share their lives on screen raise questions about their priorities and the potential consequences of their choices.
