Record breaking viewing figures incoming :clap1:

[Swan]

So much for keeping out of the limelight, seeking a quiet life away from the glitz and glamour to raise a family :laugh:

They’re working as producers, it’s not a reality show following them

[Swan]

Good luck to them, im really not bothered what they do anymore. A lot more important things going on the world. People should just let them get on with it, it's whatever.

[Niamh.]

So much for keeping out of the limelight, seeking a quiet life away from the glitz and glamour to raise a family :laugh:

If they want to keep working and occupied in life they have to do something, working in McDonalds probably isn't a great option

[Glenn.]

:clap1:

Congrats to them

[Crimson Dynamo]

:laugh2:

Can you just imagine it the absolute guff they will make?

Awful

[Liam-]

A successful, hard working couple, no choice but to stan

[Cherie]

What does Harry know about being a producer :laugh:

[Swan]

Maybe it'll be a hunting show, we all know how the Royals love to kill animals for fun. Harry being no exception.

[Crimson Dynamo]

It reminds me of Fergie and her helicopter kids books

:joker:

[rusticgal]

What does Harry know about being a producer :laugh:

I suppose he helped produce Archie....:laugh:

[BBUK-Fan]

Not exactly qualified to be producers. What about people that could actually do the job? Fame over qualified people.

[joeysteele]

I'm neither impressed or unimpressed.
I just say good luck to them.

[Cherie]

I suppose he helped produce Archie....:laugh:

:joker:

[Smithy]

Quite clearly don’t know what a producer does :skull:

It’s not fame over qualified people because Netflix is making the shows Harry and Meghan want to make, without them there are no shows anyway

[Crimson Dynamo]

Maybe he can dress up as a nazi again and go hunting pandas

"Goring Loco with Hazza and Megz"

[Mitchell]

This generations amazing princess :love:

[bots]

they will be executive producers with a team doing the real work. Netflix are obviously doing it for their name ... it's tough at the top :laugh:

[Cherie]

The Duke and Duchess of Netflix :skull:

Liz will be livid :laugh:

[bots]

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached a deal with streaming giant Netflix to make a range of programmes, some of which they may appear in.

"Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," said Prince Harry and wife Meghan.

"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us," they continued.

Netflix chief Ted Sarandos said he was "incredibly proud" the royal couple had made the company "their creative home".

The multi-year deal will encompass documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children's programming.

It comes six months on from the couple stepping down from royal life and moving to California to live away from the media spotlight.

"Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection," said the couple in a statement.

"Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.

"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."

The pair said they were "pleased to work with Netflix, saying its "unprecedented reach" would "help us share impactful content that unlocks action".

Sarandos said Netflix was "excited about telling stories" with the couple "that can help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences everywhere".

According to Deadline, projects already in development include "an innovative nature docu-series and an animated series that celebrates inspiring women".

The royal couple will make their shows for Netflix under the banner of an as yet unnamed production company.

The Duke of Sussex can currently be seen on the streaming service in Rising Phoenix, a documentary about the Paralympic Games.

Meghan previously partnered with Disney to narrate Elephant, a documentary about the species for its Disneynature outlet.

This week's announcement follows the recent publication of Finding Freedom, a book about the couple's life in the Royal Family.

A spokesman for the Sussexes said they had not been interviewed for the book, which describes a culture of increasing tension between the Sussexes and other family members.

They wanted to get away from the toxic British media and live life on their own terms. That's what they're doing.

As new parents with a nanny, cleaners, cooks and chauffeur they want to inspire those who don’t how to have hope :joker: the Obamas have a similar netflix deal

[Ammi]

....ahhhhhh, it’s good they didn’t go over there, taking their benefits etc and got themselves a proper job....well done and good luck Meghan and Harry and little Archie on their new Netflix career...:love:...I’m glad it’s Netflix as well, I’ll be able to watch their productions...it’ll be interesting, what the company will be called...

[Crimson Dynamo]

William and Kate must be literally pissing themselves laughing

:joker:

[Ammi]

....awww yeah, I’m sure they’re thrilled for them...:flutter:...

[Tom4784]

Good one them for securing themselves a potential career beyond being royals. I hope they look at all the hypocritical gammon seething over their success and laugh in their face.

Yes, how hypocritical of her to have a nanny and a cook whilst.... narrating a documentary about elephants. :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

No they are laughing

And I mean really laughing

Kate wins

[Marsh.]

No they are laughing

Oh they'll be laughing. At the taxpayer.

[Tom4784]

At this point it's just funny really, our media and the gammon that props it up are just so angry that Harry and Meghan have broken free from them and now have the means to live their own lives without giving a single **** about what our toxic media has to say. They've attained independence from the crown and the gammon are seething about it.

[Oliver_W]

A lot of retired American actors and actresses go into the production side of things, good for her.

[Cherie]

Between $50-100m signing fee apparently.

Could earn up to $250m

Get that coin :clap1:

[jet]

No surprises there, a deal like this is what Meghan planned all along when she made up excuses to get out of the UK and back to LA to make mega bucks off their Royal connections. As I said way back they were aiming to model themselves on the Obama’s production success. :smug:

Only problem is, they aren’t the Obama’s, they are 2 inexperienced deluded jokes who haven’t an original thought between them, it’s all regurgitated soundbites and bandwagon jumping. No doubt they will get a lot of help, with their names getting the credit as the ‘draw’.

[Marsh.]

Meghan and Harry will not make the shows alone shocker.

[Ramsay]

Anyone that's annoyed about this needs to seriously have a look in the mirror and get on with their lives. Whoooo caaaares?

"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."

The pair of them are estranged from their families and aired their dirty linen in public in a book - and they are wanting to inspire us with ‘inspirational family programming’.
But I know that obviously there are lefty ‘wokes’ who can’t wait to be educated and inspired by the pearls of wisdom that this B actress and her not very bright Prince will enrich their lives with. All in cringey LA - speak language.
Hilarious. :joker:

You did indeed Jet

[AnnieK]

They would be damned by some for whatever they did and lauded by others.

Netflix are the ones actually cashing in here....they know anything credited or endorsed by them will equal massive viewing figures from people from both camps....

Not sure how they were meant to earn money without doing something like this....but het ho. From the figures quoted I don't think they'll be worrying how to pay their mortgage now :laugh:

Good luck to them.....:shrug:

...I’m sure that I read that Meghan had once been rumoured for a role in one of the James Bond movies...not sure which one...I’m thinking Harry for 007 now, though...:flutter:...marvellous....

Lies - they did participate in Finding Freebies.

Writing in the authors' section of the book, Scobie and Durand say: "We have spoken with close friends of Harry and Meghan, royal aides and palace staff (past and present), the charities and organisations they have built long-lasting relationships with and, when appropriate, the couple themselves.

Yes, how Harry was so loyal and considerate of his new wife and baby son :flutter:

I don't think any member of the Royal Family could do one of those in all honesty :laugh:

[Liam-]

Charles and Will wouldn’t know loyalty if they shagged it behind their wives backs

[The Slim Reaper]

What do people want from them? Honestly, they're slammed for living off the royals, so they leave and do their own thing. They get some success, and now people are mocking them for that.

Truly one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on this forum, and I've seen some pretty weird things.

[Vanessa]

Well, at least they're earning their own money.

[Niamh.]

Charles and Will wouldn’t know loyalty if they shagged it behind their wives backs

Yep. Or maybe a ‘feminist’ one lol on how to use men to elevate yourself - not on your own merit. She’s been doing that her whole life, so has expertise in the subject. :hehe:

[The Slim Reaper]

Why? If these 2 are cropping up regularly in the media you consume, then stop reading the tory press. :smug:

They seem to be a doing documentaries on the Royals on C5 and as there was nothing else on Mr C and I watched one last week about Sophie and Edward, they were pretty much the Harry and Meghan of their day, someone sold topless photos of Sophie as well, and Ed tried to keep the press away, seeing footage of her getting out of her little Fiat surrounded by paps makes you realise how easy Megs and Kate have it

Kate had it pretty bad as well in the early days. She was chased down the street by the paps, flashbulbs going off in her face, had her car surrounded by them. Very scary. Meghan had nothing like that, ever.

[Cherie]

I think they said the Capital team when away on a jolly and Chris Tarrants breakfast show side kick Cara Noble? took the pic of her on the beach, anyway Cara was pretty much an outcast after she sold the photo

Yes the role they wanted her for was for her to make the tea for the real actors.
Harry to play one of the thickos who bond knock out.

[Cherie]

Also Sophie does a lot of charity work but you don't hear a word about it, as she and Ed like to stay private, and they mean it :hee:

[Swan]

Compare them to M&H and that Baby charity gig they did last week. They requested a private jet, arrived with a photographer, handed out nappies and left after 10 minutes. Then made sure people knew about it. Awful pair.

[thesheriff443]

They need big bucks to live the life of millionaires

[The Slim Reaper]

Yes Jet great point

and i think we all know the nauseating content they will "produce" with netflix...

[jet]

Overall, every year, the Royal Family as a whole carries out over 2,000 official engagements (which can include things like state funerals, national festivities or presenting honors); entertains over 70,000 people at dinners, lunches, receptions and garden parties at the royal residences; and receives and answers 100,000 letters.

There are also around 3,000 organizations that list a member of the Royal Family as a patron or president.

No wonder Meghan couldn't hack it. At a garden party she told Harry she was bored after a half hour and they left, according to some present.

[user104658]

As always, the level of preoccupation with this is just so odd.

[Liam-]

Couple in their 30’s get off of tax payer funding and get themselves jobs, people are mad

[Swan]

I think most people don't necessarily have a problem with them in general, it's more their hypocrisy which has been plain to see. There are plenty of rich, over privileged people in the world, they certainly fall into that category and most people don't really care. It's just they say one thing and do another. Harry imo isn't a wonderful person, and Megan is no Mother Teresa either (glad she got him to stop killing animals for fun like the rest of his family though). They're just a regular over privileged, Hollywood couple now, really cba either way.

[Ammi]

...I see the tabloids are going crazy with this already...the preoccupation in wanting and willing a young family to fail and mocking of them is quite bizarre ...and the very reason they don’t live here anymore...the capacity for ill will can be staggering but sadly, becoming less and less surprising....

On topic though I don’t get what the big deal is and why there’s so much hate? I’m happy for them and wish them luck with it.

It’s disturbing how people that don’t know them can be so vile and nasty about them. Makes you wonder what’s wrong in their lives to feel they have the right to do that. Truly awful people wishing negative things to happen to a young family.

Nobody wants anything negative to happen to them. Personally, I just want Meghan and Harry to a lesser extent to stop being self - absorbed, selfish, fame hungry, money hungry, preachy hypocrites.
Then I'd wish them well. :hee:
