Unfortunately, with their stock currently at an all-time low amidst accusations that, \u2019there isn\u2019t much more to say\u2019, insiders say the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now having to consider how low they\u2019re willing to go. Which could mean opening the doors of their home to cameras, for a fly-on-the-wall reality show\u2026<\/p>\n \u2018Harry and Meghan have been frantically brainstorming ways to make cash in Hollywood,\u2019 says an insider close to the pair, who recently promised to stop \u2018royal bashing\u2019 after blasting their relations in TV interviews, podcasts, their docu-series, Harry & Meghan and in Harry\u2019s memoir, Spare. \u2018TV bosses are really hoping they\u2019ll consider the reality market as they know everyone would love a window into their private world. Meghan and Harry are still highly bankable celebrities and everyone would be so excited for a fly-on-the-wall series. They\u2019d be opening up their day-to-day lives in Montecito to the world, just like the Kardashian family did. And there\u2019s no denying how much money it\u2019s made them\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/IMAGE-2-Meghan.jpg” title_text=”Invictus Games 2020 – Day 2″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Meghan is taking control when it comes to the Sussexes next move<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A run of recent disasters have left the Sussexes \u2013 who moved to California in 2020 after quitting royal duties in the UK \u2013 without many other options. After releasing only 12 episodes of Meghan\u2019s podcast, Archetypes, Spotify recently confirmed they were parting ways with the couple \u2013 and taking much of that $20million payday with them. It came amidst accusations that the Suits actress had \u2018faked interviews\u2019 with her guests, with other sources on the show claiming Meghan hadn\u2019t met the expected \u2018productivity benchmark\u2019. Despite insisting in a statement that they\u2019d \u2018mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together\u2019, Spotify\u2019s head of podcast innovation, Bill Simmonds, quickly slammed the couple, publicly saying, \u2018I wish I had been involved in the \u2018Meghan and Harry leave Spotify\u2019 negotiation. \u2018The Fucking Grifters\u2019 \u2013 that\u2019s the podcast we should have launched with them.\u2019 While Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek hinted that he regretted the deal, telling financial analysts, \u2018You\u2019re right in calling out the overpaying and over-investing. We\u2019re going to be very diligent in how we invest in future content deals.\u2019 Adding fuel to the fire, last week trendsetters, Rolling Stone magazine declared Harry and Meghan have entered their \u2018flop era\u2019, adding that the public\u2019s appetite for them is \u2018waning\u2019. The US outlet went on, \u2018Part of the issue the Sussexes are currently facing is that they have made their brand about their beef with the Royal Family. Now, their feud has reached a stalemate it feels like there isn\u2019t much more to say.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/IMAGE-3-Meghan.jpg” title_text=”2019 E!

In a statement last week, they insisted they \u2018deeply value\u2019 their relationship with the royal couple, adding, \u2018Our exciting journey with them isn\u2019t ending anytime soon. We\u2019re currently collaborating on numerous projects, including the much-anticipated documentary series Heart of Invictus.\u2019 They also pointed to the huge success of Harry & Meghan, which came out in December, quickly becoming the most watched Netflix premiere of the year. More than 28 million households were said to have watched the three-part show, totalling 81.6 million hours of viewing in its first four days of release. Netflix called it their \u2018most spectacular documentary debut to date\u2019, and sources say they\u2019re hoping for more of the same from their cash cows.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/IMAGE-4-Meghan-.jpg” title_text=”Charlie Van Straubenzee Wedding” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Meghan is determined to have the last word<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n \u2018Of course the bosses over at Netflix were very happy with those ratings,\u2019 says our insider. \u2018They also loved the sheer volume of attention that series brought to the network. Yes, it was an expensive price to pay and there was plenty of backlash amongst certain corners, who accused bosses of spending silly money on Harry and Meghan at a time when the company was dealing with financial constraints. But overall, the series was considered a thumping success. The network has made it very plain to Harry and Meghan that they\u2019re enthusiastic about working together on future projects. Everyone\u2019s aware that other rival networks would sign up the Sussexes in a heartbeat, because \u2013 for all their controversy \u2013 they\u2019re still a big box office draw. So now they just need to find the right show for them.\u2019<\/p>\n But insiders say Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, are not convinced reality is the right route for them \u2013 particularly after complaining so publicly about their lack of privacy. As Closer previously told you, they were left humiliated by a recent episode of South Park, which mocked a ginger prince and his actress wife for going on a Worldwide Privacy Tour, holding banners and placards that demanded no one look at them. Harry has also spent weeks in the High Court recently, suing Mirror Group Newspapers, over articles about him, painting him as \u2019the thicko, the cheat, the underage drinker, the irresponsible drug taker.\u2019 And the couple \u2013 who are parents to Archie, four, and two-year-old Lilibet \u2013 have told friends a reality show would leave them nowhere to hide. \u2018Letting in the cameras for this \u2013 even if it was all heavily edited \u2013 does go totally against their principles,\u2019 says our source. \u2018They both know it would make them look like the biggest hypocrites ever, and they could never again demand privacy. For now, Harry and Meghan have said they\u2019re not really on board with the idea and are still hoping to launch Brand Sussex. They want to make that work without resorting to scraping the Kardashian barrel.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/IMAGE-5-Meghan.jpg” title_text=”Deal or New Deal – Season 2″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Meghan back in her TV days as a suitcase girl on Deal or No Deal<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n It\u2019s been widely reported that Meghan is keen to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig, with experts suggesting it could rival Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s \u00a3200million website, Goop. Reports suggest, the mum-of-two could make as much as $135million from her social media, potentially earning as much as $30k per post if the site proves a success. But we\u2019re told Meghan\u2019s also hoping to lean into her charitable ambitions. \u2018Meghan wants brand to focus on philanthropy and good causes, as well as her passion projects like The Tig,\u2019 says the source. \u2018She\u2019s been saying a reality show would be a step back, but the feeling in Hollywood is that everyone has their price. Harry and Meghan could no doubt get a fortune for this, while also negotiating full sign off and editing control. Yes, they\u2019d get a huge amount of stick from the public, and it would give their haters a huge stick to beat them with, but if it\u2019s the difference between getting filthy rich and going flat broke, it could eventually be their only option!\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″
