Meghan’s new goldmine: Insiders tell ALISON BOSHOFF why she and Harry are set to make MORE money next year

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos remains a huge fan, of Meghan’s in particular, and his support is a powerful secret weapon.

There will be a third series of the Duchess’s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, if she wants to make one. And I hear she does.

Multiple sources say the couple are getting a new ‘first look’ deal with the streamer, which will be in line with the $65million deal Barack and Michelle Obama now have – and it doesn’t get bigger than that.

I also hear there are options on the table for other lifestyle shows from the Duchess, tied to hosting gatherings at Thanksgiving or Christmas. The idea is to announce those in September when the second series (already shot) of With Love, Meghan drops.

In fact…. one well-placed source believes the Sussexes are going to make MORE money next year from Netflix and Meghan’s Netflix–backed brand, As Ever, than they did this year.

But it’s bad news for their own large team at Archewell Productions, which has been funded up to now by the Netflix exclusive deal. Insiders suggest that running the team and the office costs around $3million (£2.25m) a year.

Although their team won’t comment, some belt–tightening on the production side looks inevitable. The fate of projects in development – including a rom–com film based on the book Meet Me At The Lake and a retelling of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations – is not known.

Many believe they will just go on ice – forever – as the Sussex team has not yet come up with a script which appeals enough to Netflix bosses Ted Sarandos and Bela Bajaria to get the green light.

However, sources close to the couple themselves say we can expect more projects from them BOTH for Netflix.
