Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been cautioned against inflicting “any more damage” on the royal family following their fresh, scaled-back agreement with Netflix.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Productions revealed earlier this month that they are “extending their partnership” with Netflix through a new “multi-year first look” arrangement.
Netflix’s revised agreement will grant the streaming platform first dibs on the Sussex pair’s concepts before determining whether to pursue them.
Harry and Meghan’s rapport with the royal family grew icy after they abandoned their duties in 2020 and leveled a string of accusations against them, including in their explosive Netflix docuseries, which dropped in 2022.
A former royal butler has now issued them a warning regarding their upcoming projects.
Grant Harrold, who served King Charles for seven years, cautioned that any additional harm from their arrangement could threaten their ties with the royal family.
Speaking to OLBG, Harrold indicated the couple will probably exercise greater restraint to prevent angering the royals with their ventures.
He said, “I don’t think Meghan and Harry would have told the royal family about their new Netflix deal ahead of the announcement. But I do think they will start being more careful not to cause further upset as they move into their future business ventures.
“If they cause any more damage with these programs, it will impact any ongoing attempts to build bridges.”

He contended the main worry for the Royal Family is the possibility of a second installment of the Harry & Meghan documentary series.
Harrold stated, “I think the royal family are beyond this now.
“I don’t think they’ll be surprised or disappointed by it, because they’re used to them doing what they want now. Their biggest concern will be another tell-all documentary on their fallouts with the family.”
The Sussexes’s newest Netflix venture, Meghan’s culinary program called With Love, Meghan, launches tomorrow, August 26.
