That\u2019s when their value skyrockets again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Dermot believes Netflix will want to be \u201cat the front of the queue\u201d should the couple eventually go their separate ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He said: \u201cThe sense in industry circles is that Netflix haven\u2019t cut ties with Harry and Meghan entirely because, frankly, they might be sitting on the most valuable content of all: the fallout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cRumours of their Netflix contract not being renewed when it runs out in September is a quiet signal that the platform is no longer banking on them as creative talent, but they\u2019re keeping the relationship warm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Why? Because if the Sussex marriage ever unravels, it would be the streaming coup of the decade. It\u2019s a brutal calculation, but this is Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">It is not the first time that Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, have faced rumours that their seven-year marriage is on the rocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Last December, Harry addressed the speculation and said it was \u201chard to keep up with\u201d the allegations made on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He added: &#8220;\u201cApparently we\u2019ve bought or moved houses 10, 12 times,\u201d he said at The New York Times\u2019 DealBook Summit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We\u2019ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it\u2019s just like, what?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">During her first-ever podcast interview on The Jamie Kern Lima Show in April, Meghan was asked if she believes that she and Harry will \u201cbe married forever\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">She said: \u201cYes. He\u2019s also a fox, if you haven\u2019t noticed. My husband\u2019s very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;There\u2019s something that is not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a spouse who is just so behind you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;You know, I mean, H, that man loves me so much. And you know, look what we built. We\u2019ve built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children [Archie and Lilibet].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a \u00a378 million deal with NetflixWith Love, Meghan briefly features Prince&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300165,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,1281,447,519,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-300164","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-meghan-markle","13":"tag-prince-harry","14":"tag-royal-family","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114934422124005116","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
