Meghan Markle’s lifestyle product line is entering a new chapter after a key commercial partnership ended with Netflix following the run of her lifestyle series ‘With Love, Meghan.’ The change comes as Markle continues to expand the business on her own after using the show to introduce its products to a wider audience. Reports further added that the venture is now set to move forward independently, even as Markle and Prince Harry remain tied to other entertainment projects already in development.
Future of Meghan Markle’s product line after streaming split
According to Page Six, the partnership ended after the series failed to continue beyond its current run. An industry source told the outlet, “Her show did not go on so it did not make sense to continue the partnership,” referring to Markle’s two-season series, ‘With Love, Meghan.’
A spokesperson for the streaming company said, “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the product line, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life.” The spokesperson added, “As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the business and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world.”The report also noted that it was always the plan to have the product line running on its “own two feet.” The source added, “We can expect to see seasonal specials of ‘With Love, Meghan.’” A spokesperson for Meghan’s company also stressed that the business is ready to move ahead on its own. The spokesperson said the company “is grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year.”
Meghan and Harry’s projects face pressure
The spokesperson added, “We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth and the business is now ready to stand on its own. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.”Markle, 44, and Prince Harry signed a USD 100 million deal with Netflix after leaving the royal family in 2020. Their projects included the hit documentary ‘Harry & Meghan,’ but later titles such as ‘Polo’ and ‘With Love, Meghan’ did not create the same response. Their newer deal was reportedly worth much less.Other planned projects, including adaptations of ‘Meet Me at the Lake’ and ‘The Wedding Date,’ remain stuck in limbo. Netflix reportedly paid around USD 3 million for the rights to ‘Meet Me at the Lake.’ A Hollywood source said, “Three years in development for a movie like this at Netflix isn’t good.”
