A new feature in Variety has sparked fresh debate about the Sussexes’ relationship with Netflix — and Piers Morgan was quick to pounce.
The magazine’s cover story examines more than five years of the couple’s deal with the streaming giant, suggesting the partnership has not gone smoothly and pointing to underwhelming audience figures for projects such as With Love, Meghan.
Morgan, a long-standing critic of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, shared the piece with his large social following and blasted the Sussexes, describing the article as a devastating takedown.
Variety’s reporting paints Meghan as someone who sees Hollywood as her turf and accuses the pair of repeatedly recycling the same narrative about leaving royal life, which the outlet says has tired some at Netflix.
The feature even cites sources claiming the relationship between the couple and the streamer is fraying and that internal patience has worn thin.
Both Netflix and representatives for the Sussexes have pushed back.
Netflix disputed the account, and the couple’s lawyer, Michael J.
Kump, wrote to Variety rejecting the claims and saying Meghan remains in regular contact with Netflix chief Ted Sarandos and has visited him socially without legal counsel.
The story — and the reactions it has provoked from commentators like Morgan — underline that the debate over the Sussexes’ place in showbusiness is far from settled.
