Netflix cancels Meghan. Maybe they should just host a kiss-cam show with Coldplay and cheating spouses.

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis, ready to bring you the world's royal news, complete with summer allergies just for you. Megan Michael and Prince Harry's time at Netflix appears to be coming to an end. According to multiple reports, the couple's one hundred million dollar deal with the streaming platform will not be renewed when it expires later this year. Under their Archwall Productions banner, they delivered several non fiction titles, including Harry and Meghan Lived to Lead, Heart of Invectus and the lifestyle series With Love Megan. A source told People magazine that the decision not to extend the contract reflects a shift in Netflix's broader business strategy. Another inside is shared with the son that there's no animosity from either side and the things have just run their course.

1:01 Though the Archwel Netflix relationship is winding down, the already filmed second season of With Love Megan is still expected to roll out as planned. Reactions to the couple's creative output have been mixed. On the view co host Anna Navarro remarked that some people like her, some people hate her, some people don't care, motioning to herself as part of that third category. Meanwhile, Meghan McCain was more direct criticizing Michael's jam making and multiple rebrands, saying I don't want to eat her jam. I don't know what she's doing. It was so boring. The first official viewing figures had recently come in for What Megan Michael's much hyped lifestyle show with Love Megan, and they may not be what the duchess had hoped and apparently aren't what Netflix expected.

1:45 According to Netflix's newly released global data, with Love Megan, which premiered in March after a delay caused by California wildfires, failed to crack the platform's top three hundred most watch shows for the first half of twenty two twenty five. The show garnded five point three million views, placing it three hundred eighty third on the list, on par with reruns of Suits. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said Meghan's star in Hollywood is currently not a bright one. Her much touted cookery series with Love Meghan was not only panned by the critics, but also failed to make the top three hundred most watched Netflix shows. The decision to film its successor back to back, was idiotic, as nothing could be learned from the reaction to the first Will point out to mister Fitzwilliams that had the second season not already been filmed, it likely would never exist. Harry's polydocumentary didn't do well either, ranking four hundred and thirty six out of seven thousand titles on its platform and reportedly drawing only five hundred thousand views in six months. One source said she had everything going for her name platform press, and the numbers were dismal. Meghan's wine is making headlines once again, this time not for what's inside the bottle, but for how it's wrapped. Now that the deliveries have started arriving, reviews are pouring in, and not just about the taste. What's dividing fans the packaging. Each bottle arrived wrapped in white tissue paper and nestled inside a simple cardboard box. Some fans were delighted by the presentation. Isn't

3:19 it lovely how it was packaged? Just to love the experience opening that box for the first time, one customer posted on x Another compared it favorably to establish California wineries, saying as if a packaging is by far the best, but others were less than charmed. What a massive waste of tissue paper? One critic wrote, the bottles looked like bowling pins, ghosts or something worse. Another joke that the design might be more suited to Halloween. All they need is a couple of eyes in a spooky mouth on there, and she's got a Halloween winner. The wine itself has also received mixed reviews from early sippers, with fans split on the flavor profile. Still, a product's rapid sell out proves the Dutch US brand power remains strong, even if it cauts criticism. Branding expert Edward Coreham James was critical, telling the Express, this is classic scarcity marketing at play for a new celebrity brand, particularly one with a global figure like Megan. This is the most potent way to establish premium status and high demand. They are creating fear of missing out FOMO on a grand scale. The fact that we are talking about the sellouts and the refunds only amplifies the narrative that these products are incredibly desirable for as Ever, the challenge is to move from being the brand that always sells out and sometimes refunds to the brand that consistently delivers quality and exclusivity. Oprah Winfrey appeared on Let's Talk off camera with Kelly Ripper, making a lighthearted remark about Harry and Meghan's a family name,

4:50 referring to them playfully as the Sussex while discussing her hypothetical plans for baby chicks. The moment drew laughter from the host in a subtle nod to the tongue twister that is the Duke and Duchess's shared title. Oprah also recalled the day Harry and Meghan called her on Easter weekend with an unexpected dilemma, a duck emergency. Sorry to bother you, Oh, but we have a duck problem here. Harry reportedly said a duck had wandered onto their property, laid eggs, and unhatched ducklings, but with no proper pond. The couple were hoping Oprah's estate might offer a more suitable home. Oprah agreed, but things quickly descended into feathered chaos as Harry opened the car door in front of Oprah's friend Gail King and her children. The mother duck made a break for it, flying off while her ducklings remained in a box. What followed, Oprah said, was a half hour of duck herding as she, Harry, Meghan, and others dashed around trying to reunite the panicked mother with her fluffy offspring. Harry's running after her, Meghan's running after her.

5:51 We've got the ducks in the box. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, Oprah laughed, adding that yes, there is video. Family Guy is once again taking an at the Sussexes. In a recent episode, Stewey warns Brian that interfering in the past could alter the future. Brian scoffs, doesn't history pretty much suck? He then rattles off a list of history's low points, Hitler, the Crusades, and finally, Prince Harry marrying Megan markel que The cutaway and animated Harry watching the episode on TV size again before turning to the camera with hands on his lips, asking, oh, like, all of your wives are so much better. It's not the first time Family Guy has mocked the couple. In a twenty twenty three episode, cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan were shown lounging by a pool, Butler delivered their millions from Netflix for no one knows what. Meghan then receives a notification for a paid Instagram post, and Harry groans I shouldn't have left the made up nonsense. That same year, South Park took its own satirical swing in the infamous Worldwide Privacy Tour episode, thinly veiled characters of Harry and Meghan marched around demanding to be left alone while simultaneously making global appearances. The show even lampooned Harry's memoir Spare, rebranding it where Prince Harry's camp is pushing back against speculation that he fears being banished by Prince William once his brother ascends the throne. The claim came from Royal author Tom Baw, who told The Mirror that Harry is seriously worried about his long term place within the royal fold and believes William might freeze him out

7:23 entirely it becomes king. But in response, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex issued a sharp retort via gb News, saying it's funny how the people who know the least about him always have the most to say more Palace in just a moment.

Plans for the funeral of King Charles code named London Bridge, remain among the most closely guarded secrets of the monarchy, but a recent media league has sparked a storm of recriminations behind palace walls, revealing the iron grip with which royal communications are managed, even in matters as sensitive as a monarch's death. When The Telegraph published its headline grabbing piece Prince Harry and Meghan at heart of King's funeral plans, it marked the first time the British press had seriously lifted the veil on the operations surrounding the king's eventual passing. The article claimed Harry and Meghan would be invited to take central roles and that the traditional morning period might be shortened, but no sooner had the story hit the newsstands than Palace officials sprang into damage control, despite the detail having reportedly come from within the palace's own funeral planning team.

8:53 According to The Daily Beast, the King's top communications chief, Turbin Andre, was livid. Multiple sources confirm Andre made frantic attempts to halt or delay publication. One Fleet Street insider described it as a meltdown on the phone with The Telegraph's editors, despite the paper typically being among the more Pallace friendly publications. A senior journalist familiar with the saga said the newspaper did not wish to be controlled, leading to a heated standoff. Andrey lobbied behind the scenes for over twenty four hours, but failed to prevent publication. The result a furious communications campaign aimed at containing the spill. Andrey allegedly used a private WhatsApp group known as the Royal Rotor to warn off other reporters. In a message seen by The Daily Beast marked strictly not for reporting in any form, he labeled the article unconscionable and downright offensive, especially given the King's ongoing cancer treatment. Andrey warned that any outlet repeating details of the report would unlikely receive assistance in future Royal coverage. He also sent a message to members of the larger international Rota of Royal Correspondence, claiming the London Bridge plans were not yet finalized and the coverage was deeply distasteful under the circumstances. He added, speculation about Demyer's planning is deeply distasteful in normal circumstances, but downright offensive given that HMK is living with cancer and doing extremely well behind the scenes. The leak appears to have triggered internal friction within the Palace as well.

10:25 Some courtiers fear that the apparent inclusion of Harriet Meghan in key funeral roles might be seen as the beginning of athor in the Royal Rift, an interpretation. The Palace seems eager to prevent from taking hold, and they have it. In fact. The emailers are this is the Palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
