For his biography, Prince Harry diligently stirred the advertising drum.
Now the streaming giant is demanding a home story from the Sussexes in return.
Montecito – Before his biography “Reserve” (“Spare”) was published on January 10, Prince Harry (38) gave sensational interviews on British and American TV.
He lashed out at his family, claiming some family members "did the devil to polish their image."
The private stories that Harry launched in his memoirs also hit higher waves than the Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan" in December last year.
Now it's time to get down to business: Netflix wants to do a home story with Prince Harry and Meghan
This did not escape the notice of those responsible at Netflix.
According to
Forbes
magazine, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (41) are said to have signed a contract with Netflix for around 94 million euros.
"They've gotten great viewership," a Netflix consultant told
The
Sun.
Nevertheless, the streaming giant's marketing team was disappointed "that Meghan and Harry did not go on a media tour for the show.
Harry's willingness to go on TV for 'Spare' raised eyebrows."

Now the Netflix bosses are apparently hoping for supplies from Sussex – directly from the home of Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan, Archie (3) and Lilibet (1).
"They want a second piece of the pie," the Netflix consultant said.
"However, to move forward with such a deal, the couple would have to open the doors of their home in Montecito."
Filming for the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan took place in a neighboring mansion.
According to
Page Six
, Harry and Meghan "didn't feel right" about filming in their own four walls at the time.
Netflix deal criticized for The Crown
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a deal worth millions with streaming provider Netflix, part of the deal was the six-part documentary "Harry & Meghan".
The documentary is also criticized because of the Netflix hit series "The Crown", which is accused of exploiting the private life of the late Lady Diana.
The fact that Harry works with Netflix of all things causes a lack of understanding.
