'Really enjoyed working with them': Netflix hoses down claims about relationship with Harry and Meghan

Netflix is hosing down claims it grew frustrated with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, insisting its relationship with the couple remains intact, despite swirling speculation.

Reports this week suggested the streaming giant had "lost faith" in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the end of their multi-million-dollar deal in 2025.

However, both Netflix and the couple's team have pushed back, with sources describing the claims as "categorically false."

A spokesperson for Netflix has denied any break down in their relationship, as the pair continue to work for a more flexible "first-look" arrangement.

Insiders claimed Netflix chief Ted Sarandos and chief content officer Bela Bajaria were both growing tired of working with the couple.

But an insider told Variety these claims are "absolutely inaccurate."

"Archewell has been a thoughtful and collaborative partner, and we've really enjoyed working with Harry and Meghan," Bajaria himself told the publication.

"They're deeply engaged in the storytelling process and bring a unique, global perspective that aligns with the kinds of impactful projects our members respond to."

The shift came after their original blockbuster deal, reportedly worth close to $100 million, wrapped up last year.

This marked a move away from guaranteed output towards a project by project model, favoured in Hollywood.

While Netflix is publicly maintaining confidence in Prince Harry and Meghan's creative partnership, it has quietly stepped away from another venture tied to the Duchess.

The platform is no longer involved in the duchess' lifestyle brand As Ever, which was originally launched with Netflix's backing as part of its push into consumer products.

The brand focusing on curated, high-end food and home goods, linked to her series With Love, is now operating independently.

The split has been framed as a natural revolution with a spokesperson from the brand saying, "We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own.

"We have an exciting year ahead and can't wait to share more."

Since signing in 2020, Harry and Meghan have delivered several high-profile projects, including their record-breaking docuseries Harry & Meghan and Heart of Invictus, though not all releases have matched the same level of impact.

Netflix is presenting a united front, though the evolution of its deal with the Sussexes suggests a partnership that looks notably different from when it first began.
