Harry and Meghan, the gift that never stops giving: The camera-loving and scandal-ridden duke duo has stayed true to themselves and is on the safe path to what appears to be another failure: canceling their huge deal with streaming giant Netflix.

If you think this story sounds too familiar, you're not wrong. The pair had already received a red card when their multi-million dollar deal with Spotify was cancelled for failing to deliver. Along the way, Meghan was also accused of falsifying the recordings of her podcast when she had already reported to work, and of course there is also the multi-million dollar contract with Dior that never existed.
Now, streaming giant Netflix is also reportedly signaling that it wants to cut ties with the Dukes of Sussex. "If they want to get the remaining $51 million in the deal they signed (referring to the multimillion-dollar deal signed with the couple in 2020 in which they pledged to provide a variety of content for the network including series, movies, children's shows and interviews), they need to start delivering," a source told The Sun on Sunday.

To date, Harry and Meghan have taken part in one highly publicized documentary series about them, which aired last year and for which they reportedly received only half of the $103 million they were supposedly promised. "They will only get the rest if they create content of genuine interest," a source told the site.

"If they don't deliver and the engagement comes to an end, it won't be as embarrassing publicly as it was with Spotify," the source continued. "There is no doubt that there will be a well-publicized farewell here that will make noise," another Netflix source said. "Netflix has been pleased with the signing of the two and is hoping for excellent content from them going forward, but the continued existence of the deal depends on what they can bring to the table. This transaction is constantly monitored and monitored, which is not unusual for deals of this magnitude," he added.

Last week, another source from the streaming network claimed that the two had already "squeezed the lemon" to the fullest when it came to their ability to produce content for the network. "Meghan lives in her own bubble and doesn't seem to understand the economic reality. The attitude towards them at the highest levels is already less friendly. The huge deal they signed is no longer valid today," he concluded.
