Netflix<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re just hopeless in professional settings,\u201d says the source.<\/p>\n We\u2019re told Harry even allegedly showed up late to a Netflix meeting, and then asked an executive for a cup of hot chocolate. <\/p>\n This is apparently his go-to beverage of choice. The story echoes a similar claim made by a Spotify employee who told Vanity Fair<\/a> that Harry asked for the same drink, but, \u201cThere was none in the office, so employees scrambled to obtain some.\u201d<\/p>\n Markle previously had a Spotify podcast and then had one with Lemonada Media. meghan\/Instagram<\/p>\n We hear Prince Harry loves hot chocolate. Jason Sean Weiss<\/p>\n The report also claimed: \u201cAn idea was pitched to Harry \u2014 what if he reviewed a hot chocolate every week while chatting with a different friend\u2026 which he and his team considered and rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n (The pair had reportedly signed a three year, $20 million deal with Spotify that ended in 2023<\/a> after one season of Markle\u2019s show \u201cArchetypes.\u201d Markle had a podcast called<\/a> \u201cConfessions of a Female Founder,\u201d with Lemonada Media from April to June 2025.)<\/p>\n Markle, who starred in two seasons of Netflix\u2019s \u201cWith Love, Meghan,\u201d has her own challenges, we hear.<\/p>\n A source tells us Markle can be \u201cdismissive\u201d to staff.

Very painful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was unfair, what could their staff truly do about it?\u201d a source told Page Six previously<\/a>. \u201cThe sources were anonymous and things could not be refuted.\u201d<\/p>\n Their Netflix documentary \u201cHarry & Meghan\u201d was a hit.
