Netflix's CEO Ted Sarandos isn't underestimating Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex's solo endeavor With Love, Meghan premiered earlier in the month, debuting in the global top 10. A second season has already been filmed and will debut in the fall.
While other series produced by the couple's Archewell Productions company — including Polo and Heart of Invictus — didn't produce as large of audiences for Netflix, Sarandos recognizes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's touch goes beyond numbers.
"I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture," he said. "When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days. The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world."
"People are fascinated with Meghan Markle," he continued. "She and Harry are overly dismissed."
Netflix also has a stake in her new lifestyle brand, As ever, marking its foray into e-commerce as teas, jams and more are set to be available for sale in the U.S. this spring.
Sarandos said, "We’re a passive partner in Meghan’s company, and it’s a big discovery model for us right now."

Not going to convince you but there is a sort of Trumpian element to how Markle operates…🤭
What job did she EVER get, that some man ( her father, her first or second husband ( prior to Harry; the count is still in question), now being married to Harry ) has NOT gotten for her?
What "success" ( being at the pinnacle of her profession/a #1 "STAR", in a #1 movie and/or T.V. show ) has she EVER had? Name one, please, and being sexually extremely active, to get a man, doesn't count.
Trump loves and takes care of his family and friends; Sparkles is the exact, 100% opposite!
Yes, Trump has had THREE wives.
Markle has supposedly had THREE husbands...the first marriage annulled, the second a divorce, and she NEVER talks to any of the former ones; unlike Trump!
Trump has quietly done many acts of REAL charity, during his lifetime.
Old Meggsie baby? Well 95% of ARCHWELL's funds go into her bank account and unlike Trump, she makes certain that her "charitable good works" ( play laugh track ), is thoroughly covered by the MSM/press/T.V./magazines!
Because she claims to be THE "best" and THE "expert" re stuff she is THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL AT? Whilst Trump may claim that, but he IS that!
I can go on and on, but am waiting, with bated breath, for you to give me at least ONE similarity.
Your turn.............
Some people really enjoy commerce. I’m not one of them, she’s very American that way. That being said, I don’t think I’d enjoy the suffocation of today’s Britain either - whether royal or civilian life.
I just ran across this. The person named in the paperwork is the current COO of As ever.

Note the business type and the 2025 date.
Not sure if this is noteworthy, just thought I’d toss it in in the off chance it’s relevant.
A critique I have is that a lot of liberal woke elites find “haven” in California as they can afford places like Montecito...yet it is my understanding that Harry and Meghan have listed and based most of their ventures out in DELAWARE due to their tax credit for what have you...
It’s like they don’t care how difficult California has gotten for most people starting businesses due to how many people vote Democrats in — yet they themselves go outside California to financially benefit and get a capitalistic leg up.
Meghan always aspired to be a Kardashian, money for nothing and my checks for free.
