A Royal journalist speculates that if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle divorce, Netflix might remain involved else they may not renew the deal.
A screenwriter has warned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that their deal with Netflix is unlikely to be renewed, but if they get “divorced,” then the story could be different.

Marina Hyde, a journalist and screenwriter, per Daily Mail, that the streaming giant may “keep a vague hand in” if the Sussexes split.
“People are hanging around in case there's a divorce,” she said while sitting for The Rest is Entertainment podcast with Richard Osman.
“They [Netflix] are not going to renew. They might say we're continuing to develop projects with them,” she speculated.

“They [Netflix] are not going to renew. They might say we're continuing to develop projects with them. The reality is that a lot of people are hanging around in case there's a divorce. That might be why Netflix, or whoever it might be, who's got to deal with them, might keep a vague hand in.”
The Sussexes initially found success with their 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. However, Hyde called their Netflix projects “flopped.”
Prince Harry shuts down divorce rumours with humour
During the podcast, co-host Richard Osman proposed that Meghan should consider returning to acting. “Meghan is an actress. Cast her in something. This is what I advise Meghan, take a job in something. You could pretty much name your price and project for the first thing you go back into acting for. It's what she does,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry has publicly dismissed rumours about marital issues. During a media summit in New York last December, when journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin pressed the Duke, “They're fascinated Meghan is in California right now, and you're here. There are articles left and right about: 'Why are you making, doing independent events? Why aren't you doing them together?”

“Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, 'what?'” Harry responded by ridiculing the constant speculation.
“It's hard to keep up with, but that's why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls. Their hopes are just built and built, and it's like, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes', and then it doesn't happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.”
