‘$60m owed’: Meghan and Harry in Netflix row

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been told to come up with more must-watch shows for Netflix if they want to be paid, it has been claimed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been told to come up with more must-watch shows for Netflix if they want to be paid $60 million in outstanding fees, it has been claimed.

The couple’s six-part tell-all series was a smash hit for the streaming giant but the pair have only been paid half their contract, The Sun reports.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said to have received payment for only half of their reported $121 million contract.

Bosses will only pay them the remaining money if they produce content of real interest, according to reports.

An industry source told The Sun: “There’s no question of a headline-grabbing, public parting of the way.

“Netflix was pleased to sign Harry and Meghan and is looking for some great ideas going forward.

“But the remainder of the deal relies on them producing those good ideas.

“The deal’s continually under review which is normal for ones of this magnitude.”

Prince Harry’s series Heart of Invictus, about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors, is due to air in August.

But Meghan’s animated series Pearl, about a girl inspired by historical female figures, was dropped.
