Things don't seem to be going Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's way at the minute.
Shortly after a seemingly tense day at the polo last week, the couple received news that one of their marquee projects, Pearl - an animated children's show for Netflix - had been left on the streaming service's scrapheap.
Sources say Harry and Meghan were informed that part of their lucrative deal had collapsed “long before the rest of the world found out".
As such, it raised questions over why the pair shoehorned a meeting with Harry's grandmother, the Queen, and 15 minutes with Prince Charles into a trip to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games last month.
At the time, reports circulated in the UK that Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, had pleaded their case again to become 'part-time royals'. It was originally denied when they decamped to America in 2020 and announced they planned to become financially independent of the monarchy.
“If they knew this Netflix shake-up was coming, they would've been in panic mode before they went to England,” says a palace source. “Their content deal with Netflix is the bulk of their income and a major reason they can afford their $20 million mansion in Montecito - not to mention the eye-watering property taxes that go with it."
