Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in talks with Netflix for a new project centred on Princess Diana, with plans to release a documentary in 2027. The proposal forms part of their renewed \u201cfirst look\u201d deal with the streaming giant, following the end of their original \u00a3100 million (\u20b91,054 crore) partnership. The late princess remains a powerful secondary figure in the Sussexes\u2019 story, and this project could be one of their most significant ventures yet.<\/p>\n

What is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s new Netflix deal?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Sussexes\u2019 original \u00a3100 million (\u20b91,054 crore) five-year deal with Netflix expired this year, prompting speculation about their future in streaming. According to reports, the couple have now signed a fresh agreement giving Netflix first refusal on any new content pitched through their Archewell Productions banner. The arrangement also covers staff and operational costs for their company, ensuring the couple continue to have a steady platform for creative projects.<\/p>\n Netflix executives have praised the pair as \u201cinfluential voices whose stories resonate globally,\u201d while Meghan said she felt \u201cinspired\u201d to keep creating content with the streamer.<\/p>\n Will the Princess Diana documentary go ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n A documentary about Princess Diana is among the proposals currently on the table. If confirmed, it would be scheduled for 2027, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of her death in Paris. Industry insiders told The Sun that Netflix would \u201cbite his hand off\u201d if Prince Harry agreed to lead the project, convinced it would be a ratings success.<\/p>\n Harry has previously spoken about his close relationship with his mother and the trauma of her passing when he was just 12. He has also taken part in earlier television projects marking her legacy, including Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy in 2017. A new Netflix special would allow him to revisit her life with unprecedented depth and global reach.<\/p>\n What other Netflix projects are Harry and Meghan working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n Alongside the Diana documentary discussions, Netflix has confirmed a second season of Meghan\u2019s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, which launches this week. Although the first season drew harsh reviews, it pulled in stronger-than-expected viewership, ensuring its continuation. A December holiday special is also planned, along with a short documentary titled Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within, about a group of Ugandan orphans.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s earlier six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan in 2022 was a record-breaking success for Netflix, though subsequent projects failed to reach the same level. With Diana\u2019s story back in focus, the streaming platform hopes to capture a similar cultural impact.<\/p>\n Why is Princess Diana\u2019s story still significant?<\/strong><\/p>\n Princess Diana remains one of the most compelling figures in modern royal history, with enduring public fascination across generations. For Prince Harry, telling her story has always been deeply personal. In his memoir Spare, he described her death as \u201coverwhelming and isolating,\u201d while also crediting her memory with shaping his decision to step back from royal duties to protect his wife and children.<\/p>\n Harry has kept her legacy close, naming his daughter Lilibet Diana and maintaining a photo wall of her at his California home. If the documentary is confirmed, it will not only mark a historic anniversary but also underline how central Diana remains to the Sussexes\u2019 public and private lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Highlights: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle extend Netflix deal after \u00a3100 million (\u20b91,054 crore) contract ends.
