Will Harry and Meghan continue cashing in on their royal connections, asks RICHARD EDEN? Their attempts to make films has been a BIG FAILURE so far…

Harry and Meghan seem to face a growing dilemma as the end of their Netflix contract nears, says Richard Eden.
Do they continue trying to prove themselves as independent film makers – or make fresh moves to exploit their royal connections?
The question was highlighted in recent days when it emerged that a key figure in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s company Archewell Productions had quit, suggesting that all was not well.
Then, just a few days ago, the Sussexes spent time in the Caribbean with the boss of the giant Paramount Pictures – a reminder that their contract with rival Netflix comes to an end next year.
‘If they do join a rival broadcasting company, will they face the same, growing, dilemma?’ asks Eden in the latest edition of his Palace Confidential newsletter.
‘Do they cash in on their royal links with another show about themselves or do they continue to try, with little evident success so far, to prove themselves as producers of films and TV programmes about other people?’
So far, Harry and Meghan have been bullish about their prospects.
Netflix’s chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, has said the couple are working on ‘a bunch’ of new projects including a film and two other ‘unscripted’ projects.
When the Duchess of Sussex was interviewed on the red carpet at a showbusiness event in Los Angeles in November, she declared that they had ‘so many exciting things on the slate’ to announce.
But, writes Eden, ‘three months later, and we’re still waiting with bated breath to hear what any of these “exciting things” may be.
‘Suspicions that all may not be well at Archewell Productions, which Harry and Meghan set up in 2020 amid great fanfare to make television programmes and films, were heightened when I reported in my social diary, Eden Confidential, that the company’s manager, Bennett Levine, had quit.
‘His appointment in 2021 had been hailed by Harry and Meghan’s most outspoken cheerleader, Omid Scobie, as a sign that Archewell was “a hive of activity that continues to grow”.
‘Levine’s surprise exit follows that of his former boss, Oscar-winning producer Ben Browning, who oversaw the couple’s tawdry Netflix ‘docu-series’ (reality show) Harry & Meghan and their less successful Live to Lead, but also quit last year.
Eden points out that Levine’s departure comes amid speculation that Netflix might not renew its deal with Archewell.
The US streaming giant paid the Sussexes a rumoured £80 million in 2020 as part of a deal that ends in 2025.
The couple are rarely out of the public eye. Last night, they released video footage of an appearance in New York last autumn for World Mental Health Day, in which they took part in a discussion on cyberbullying.
Harry and Meghan have indicated that they no longer wish to discuss further details of their relationship with the Royal Family and would prefer to concentrate on other subjects.

Serena Williams husband opened up on how fatherhood changed him as a man, killing off his selfishness by putting his children before anyone else in the world as his daughter changed his life instantly.
Alexis Ohanian, who is famous and wealthy for founding the popular social media website, Reddit, began a relationship with the tennis ace back in 2015 before they married in 2017, but it wasn’t until they had kids in September that year that Ohanian began to change.
can’t tell you how many decisions I made in my twenties and my thirties pre-fatherhood that were so selfish,” Ohanian said to Business Dad. “And it was so geared around, ‘I’ve got look out for me, this is it.’
”
And like yeah I might be with someone whatever but I’m still at the end of the day it’s still me above all. It’s a liberating thing to now know, ‘Actually it’s not that important, Alexis.’ These humans, like this is your charge, this is your responsibility now. This is your legacy.
“And all the other s**t doesn’t actually matter. There’s two humans now whose opinion I really care about and they’re my kids.”
