Prince Harry and Meghan Sign Megawatt Netflix Deal
NYT ^ | Sep 2020 | Brooks Barnes

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have founded a yet-to-be-named production company and signed a multiyear deal with Netflix, which will pay them to make documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming — giving the couple a global platform six months after their dramatic decampment from the House of Windsor.

In recent months, Harry and Meghan have quietly talked with Disney and Apple. Two executives involved in those discussions said representatives for the couple at one point were seeking a deal in the neighborhood of $100 million. Variety reported earlier this month that the couple had also met with NBCUniversal.

“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the couple said in a statement. “As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.” They added that Netflix’s “unprecedented reach will help us share impactful content that unlocks action.” Their productions will be exclusive to Netflix, which has 193 million subscribers worldwide

Does Harry have the legal right to permanent residence in the United States? Does he have a green card so that he can legally work in the United States? Did they do everything legally necessary, for a foreign spouse to be in America with her?????

Why are they here in America in the first place? I recall Megan said something how they wouldn’t be in America as long as Trump was president. Which was part of the reason they initially said they would live in Canada.

They have seven-figure deals now from Spotify and Netflix.

I presume these are payoffs for anti-American propaganda.

I was watching The Crown last night - the episode was when USA landed men on the moon. Everyone in the royal household was watching on TV - they were sitting in their old palace full of items from the past - living a life of the past - while America was landing men on the moon. I believe the episode was portraying Philip as the one who realized how time had passed them by....and he wasn’t happy about it.

I have a certain amount of sympathy for Harry - being born into royal life is no picnic despite the apparent amenities...but I have no sympathy for Meghan. I just see her as using Harry to grab a higher rung on the ladder so she can hang out with people who would have otherwise ignored her. Seems fairly phony to me.

I would definitely call la Migra to get on this.

I believe the Duchess had to renounce her US citizenship to marry into the Firm.

Netflix is serious? This sounds like a ratings disaster. These clowns don’t know anything about anything popular. After the “freak show” vibe wears off, what is left?

Netflix isn’t stupid. They GIVE money to people who can influence society, governments and culture. They figure this way they’ll stay in business no matter what. Quid pro quo. Unfortunately they focus on leftists.

An impossible to detect money laundering operation. They paid Obama quite a bit as I recall.
