The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a five-year multi-million-dollar deal in 2020 after the moved out of the UK and stepped back from their senior royal positions.

Now, the deal could be in jeopardy as it is due to end in 2025 with an unlikely chance of extension of the lucrative deal.

Moreover, MailOnline columnist Alison Boshoff claimed that “Netflix will want to get out of or scale down further, the deal at the earliest contractual opportunity.”
