Following the release of their self-titled Netflix documentary in December of last year, it seems that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are having trouble finding fresh projects and profitable deals. An insider who spoke with The UK Express claimed that the couple has been having difficulties in their work because many doors have closed on them and they are not receiving any new jobs.

Some of the issues that the couple appears to be having were disclosed by the insider source. WME has been having a lot of private crisis discussions with clients Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since it seems like they are missing out on a lot of new chances, despite the success of their Netflix documentary and Harry’s popular memoir Spare.
“There have been talks held with high-profile brands that didn’t lead to anything but should have. Those brands then actively courted other members of the family, the insider said. They also revealed that even though the couple had a really great partnership with luxury brand Dior, the brand’s focus has now shifted to Camilla, who wore Dior Haute Couture in September. The fact that actress Meg Ballamy, who plays the role of young Kate Middleton in the final season of The Crown, got a lucrative Dior deal only goes to add salt to the wound. Even though Markle signed a deal with WME (William Morris Endeavor) in April of this year, the actress has gotten no new deals in the last few months. The couple’s $20 million deal with Spotify was also canceled and Spotify exec Bill Simmons called them “grifters”. Donations to the couple’s charity, the Archwell Foundation, have likewise been steadily declining.

There are numerous explanations for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s current situation with the Royal Family. Following a phone hack by Mirror Group Newspaper, Harry received $180,000 in damages. However, it appears that their current lack of deals is related to both his memoir Spare and Markle’s Netflix documentary. It appears that companies are reluctant to work with the couple in an effort to preserve their ties to the Royal Family.
In addition to Meghan’s podcast being canceled by Spotify after 12 episodes, her animation project Pearl has been abandoned by Netflix. The source claims that “The team doesn’t appear to know what to do at this point. The consensus now is to try and repair the damage done to the Royal Family and hope that link will help them out of the doldrums.”
