The Sussexes and Netflix have mutually decided not to make an official announcement.
But streaming execs have quietly agreed to part ways.
It comes after Harry’s vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people.
It was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority.

A source said: “The deal is done; no more shows will be made.
“Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple.
“Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair.
“They’re not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time.
“The content got weaker from there on but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing.
“There’s no animosity from either side.

“Things have just run their course.
“Netflix execs are well aware Meghan’s priority now is her own brand, and they won’t play second fiddle to that.
“Publicly, there will not be a statement and of course, if things change dramatically, they’d be open to a one-off project down the line.
“But for Harry, especially, this will be a blow.
“It’s a huge loss of revenue.”
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is believed to remain on good terms with Meghan.
The source said streamer Paramount+ was thought to be keen to work with the couple, who would be open to it if the right project came along.
Last month it was announced Netflix had signed a deal with King Charles and Idris Elba for a documentary exploring the impact of the King’s Trust.
And it was understood any deal with the Sussexes could be seen as a hindrance to that link-up.
Netflix declined to comment.
