Harry and Meghan Netflix Projects Stall as Jordan Trip Draws New Criticism

0:00 A Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis, Prince, Harry and Megan Minkal's remaining Netflix film projects are reportedly still stuck in development, raising questions about the future of their production deal with the streaming company. One of those projects is an adaptation of the best selling novel Meet Me at the Lake by Carli Fortune. Netflix reportedly paid about three million dollars for the rights to the book when the project was announced in August of twenty three. Nearly three years later, however, the film is still listed as being in development and reportedly has no director or cast attached. A Hollywood industry source toll Page six that such a long development period raises concerns, saying three years in development for a movie like this at Netflix isn't good. Another planned adaptation based on Jasmine Guillery's romantic novel, The Wedding Date, was announced in September, but is also still in development. The Sussex has recently premiered a documentary called Cookie Queen's at the Sundance Film Festival, focusing on girl scout cookie culture. Despite receiving positive reactions at Sundance. The film has not yet secured a distributor or streaming home. At the same time, Megan Mikel's lifestyle series with Love Meghan has reportedly not been renewed for a third season following declining viewership. I don't know how long this new deal is for, but if they don't have anything to show soon, I can't

1:32 imagine it will be renewed. One industry source said, Inside is close to Archwell. However, it's a multiple scripted and unscripted projects remain in various stages of development with Netflix, and that the partnership with a streamer remains strong. Harry Meghan's recent humanitarian visit to Jordan has drawn even more criticism from the public relations expert, who said the trip failed to significantly change public perceptions of the couple. PR specialists Renee Smith told The Express from a PR lens, the visit wasn't meaningless, but it also wasn't transformational. It followed the now familiar Megan Harry formula, humanitarian settings, carefully curated visuals, light diplomacy tone, no institutional framework behind it.

2:17 That structure is always going to divide opinion considering who they are and what position they have or more importantly, don't have. For something like this to genuinely shift perception, you need measurable impact, a strong narrative hook, or a defining moment that cuts through the noise. This trip had none of those. It felt casually competent but not strategic. Data consistently shows that celebrity or soft diplomacy coverage drops significantly during high conflict news periods because attention shifts almost entirely to hard news, So even if the visit was well intentioned, it was always going to get buried. Supporters see two independent global advocates doing meaningful work. Critics see a scaled down royal tour without the official mandate. In brand terms, it maintains their existing base but doesn't expand it or fix it in any meaningful way. Harry has been invited to visit Israel after comments he made about humanitarian aid access to Gaza during his trip to Jordan drew a public rebuke from an Israeli minister. Harry had said in an interview that aid corridors into Gaza need to be opened and they are currently not. His comments prompted a direct response from Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Sharin Huskell, who rejected his description of the situation and accused him of repeating false claims. She said Harry's remarks were deeply disappointing for amplifying what she called false narratives. In a public message to the Duke, Haskell invited him to see the situation for himself. Prince Harry, with all due respect,

3:50 before using your global platform to level accusations against Israel, I would suggest a very simple step. Come and see for yourself. I personally invite you to visit the humanitary corridor and witness first hand how AID is coordinated and delivered. The invitation stands. Come see speak to those on the ground. Then. Judge Royal commentator more In Callahan reacted strongly to footage of Meghan visiting a fourteen year old burn victim from Gaza. Callahan said, I think this woman is a viper and I think she's disgusting. The camera is lingering not on this young fourteen year old, but on Meghan's face. We are looking firmly at Meghan Markel. Callahan then accused the Duchess of Sussex for deliberately invoking comparisons with Diana Princess Wales.

4:34 This visit is nothing short of exploitation to try to rehab their reputations and to try to convince the public at large for the eight millionth time that Meghan is the second coming of Diana. Where were these two during and in the immediate aftermath of October seventh. I don't recall seeing them say one thing about all of the hostages. They are making a political statement by solely visiting the victims from Gaza and not doing the same in and with any of the hostages or the surviving family members in Israel. Callahan concluded by arguing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should lose their royal titles. I strip them of their titles. I mean, what value do these two bring. It's the titles that are the problem. Strip them, let them do whatever they want, and they are just two sealsters trying to make themselves relevant. Reports claim that Prince William is privately frustrated by the trip to Jordan. According to a source cited by in Touch Weekly, William does not believe Meghan's motivations are genuine. The inside has said William doesn't buy that she's sincere in any of this.

5:36 In his view, this whole Diana two point zero act is all about boosting her image and ultimately her bank account. It sickens him that his brother would encourage this. The reporter als, who claims William intends to take action when he eventually becomes king. The source said he can't wait to put a stop to it the moment he becomes king, adding that he is determined to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles once he has the authority to do so, more palacing just a moment. Prince Andrew reportedly insisted that Princess Eugenie's wedding should match the scale and prestige of Prince Harry's wedding earlier the same year, According to a new report, ahead of Eugenie's October twenty eighteen marriage to Jack Brooksbank, Andrew pushed for a full scale royal wedding at Saint George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, complete with significant security and public attention. Andrew Lowney, author of Entitle The Rise and Fall of the House of York, said the Duke of York believed his daughter deserve the same level of ceremony as other senior royals. She's a granddaughter of the Queen, a princess of the blood. Lowney said he believed she should get everything. Andrew will retain one of his remaining civic honors after officials determined it cannot legally be removed. The disgraced former prince was granted the Freedom of the City of London in twenty twelve by virtue of patrimony, meaning he inherited the status because his father, Prince Philip, was already a freeman. Following Andrew's recent arrest

7:07 and ongoing scrutiny, the City of London Corporation reviewed whether the honour could be withdrawn. However, officials concluded that the rules governing the award do not allow it to be revoked when it is inherited in this way. In a statement to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, a spokesperson said the authority had examined the rules carefully. We have carefully considered whether it is possible to remove a freedom granted by a patrimony and understand that we are not able to do so. Applications via patrimony are not considered by our elected members. The spokesperson said. The Freedom of the City of London is now largely ceremonial, though it remains a historic honour dating bank centuries. Traditionally it grants symbolic privileges, including the right to drive sheep across London Bridge. Right.

7:54 We highly encourage Andrew to exercise, just not during the King's royal visit to America or the next time makes and makes an unpopular Instagram post. We do need to spread the news out. Speaking on Sky News, Royale expert Kinsey Showfield suggested that Sarah Ferguson may have insight into private matters involving the Sussexes. Schofield said, we know at least one of Fergie's daughters stayed especially close to Harry throughout the breakdown of the relationship with the family. Fergie likely knows some of the Sussexes secrets. Eugenie lived in the UK estate Frogmore Cottage during the pandemic. What secrets could she spill? And they have it like to email us.
