Meghan Markle Tucked a Sweet Clip of Lilibet Into Her New As Ever Instagram
Meghan Markle celebrated her lifestyle brand As Ever's second drop selling out with a behind-the-scenes look at the products. At the end of the video, the Duchess of Sussex tucked in a sweet clip of her with her 4-year-old daughter, Lilibet. 'A little behind the scenes of @aseverofficial,' she wrote. 'Hope you enjoy your treats when they arrive this week! 🍯 '
Meghan last shared three tributes to Lili for her fourth birthday on June 4. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!' she wrote in her first post. 'Four years ago today she came into our lives—and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!'
In a second post, she shared photos of Lili with Harry. 'The sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕' she wrote. 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!'
In her final Instagram, Meghan posted a clip of her dancing with Harry in the delivery room. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' she wrote. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates…so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do! 😂'
During her recent appearance on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast, Meghan addressed the dancing video and explained why she chose to post it online. The clip serves as 'a really great reminder that, with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life,' she said. 'A real, authentic, fun life that's happening behind the scenes. I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.'

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry face ‘pitiful plummet in popularity' as they reportedly lose Netflix deal: expert
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's five-year Netflix deal will likely expire quietly, experts tell Fox News Digital following reports it won't be renewed. "There are whispers that Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal will expire quietly. I can't imagine that either party would want to shout this news over the rooftops. They will hope it's a smooth transition," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard tells Fox News Digital. She says the Sussexes' "star attraction has taken a nose dive." The royal couple signed the five-year deal with Netflix in 2020, shortly after they stepped down as senior royals and left the U.K. Their debut docuseries "Harry & Meghan" remains the streaming platform's most-watched debut, according to People magazine, but their other series such as "With Love, Meghan" and "Heart of Invictus" haven't fared as well. "The majority of their material has received poor viewing figures and there doesn't seem to be suitable appeal for any new productions starring the duo," Chard adds. "The court of public opinion is key here. The public do not feel kindly toward them. They trashed their family, created a huge amount of damage and monetized off of the back of the attacks." Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner tells Fox News Digital that the loss of the Netflix deal will be a "major blow" for the couple and could incentivize them to move back to the U.K. as has been a rumored consideration recently. "They obviously have a lavish lifestyle, and it was always thought that Netflix saw the duo as the jewel in the crown for their platform," he says. He adds that "Meghan has become the Harry Houdini in sorting out financial safety," and "other platforms of equal note may make counteroffers. They are certainly not down and out yet." Indeed, even if the Netflix deal isn't renewed this September, the second season of Markle's lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan" will be premiering around the same time and the couple could be poised to sign a first-look deal with the platform for any projects they have on the horizon. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich agrees that Netflix would prefer the contract quietly expire. "Cancellation is a proper response to ghastly ratings since the only project they produced with financial benefit to Netflix was their initial mudslinging at the royal family docuseries 'Harry & Meghan,'" she says. "It was rather foolish to have filmed two seasons without even waiting to inculcate the audience response to the first season of MM's lifestyle show [With Love, Meghan]." She adds that audiences were "more interested in lurid royal betrayals than actually anything to do with the couple or high ratings would have continued. Public fascination was merely driven by the controversy and inside royal details being spewed, but neither H nor M themselves have proven to be of interest… Their betrayal of their own family was tasteless and tacky. This negative sentiment was also felt on both sides of the Atlantic, given their pitiful plummet in popularity. " Markle has recently seen success with the launch of her lifestyle brand As Ever, which has repeatedly sold out of its limited featured products such as candles and jam. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams says he sees Netflix's partnership in As Ever as the only reason the platform would want to renew part of the deal. "Their CEO Ted Sarandos did praise Meghan relatively recently, but he hadn't seen the terrible ratings which showed 'With Love, Meghan,' her much-touted cookery series, had been almost totally ignored by viewers," he says. Fitzwilliams says the couple were warned that Harry's "Polo" documentary wouldn't do well because it's an "elitist" sport, and although "Heart of Invictus" was "worthy," it was "never likely to draw in the crowds." "What did was 'Harry & Meghan,' the six-part docuseries which trashed the royal family," he says. "That, it seems, is all they have to offer. 'With Love, Meghan' series 2, was unwisely filmed back to back with the first and almost certainly will flop." He adds, "Without the reported $100 million contract with Netflix, having been dropped by Spotify and with no plans to do further podcasts in the 'Confessions of a Female Founder' series, the Sussexes hopes rest on Meghan making a success of As Ever. This leaves Harry with little to do. If they don't exploit their royal connections, it will emphasize yet again that the Sussexes have precious little to offer and this will be humiliating." Fox News Digital has reached out to Archewell and Netflix for comment.

The Real Reason Meghan Markle And Prince Harry's £75 Million Netflix Deal Won't Be Renewed
On paper, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's move to the leafy Californian enclave of Montecito looked like a dream: autonomy over their lives, a new home in sunny California, and a platform built for 'impactful storytelling' over royal protocol. The couple's first creation for the streaming platform, the docuseries of their love story, Harry & Meghan, broke Netflix records as the streamer's most-watched documentary of all time — 28 million households tuned in to watch two former Windsors set their own narrative in the first two weeks of its premiere. Even Meghan's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan generated a briefly landed in Netflix's top ten. Yet it has now been reported, per People, that the couple's reported $100 million (£75 million) deal with Netflix will not be renewed in September. The pair signed their multi-year Netflix deal in 2020, marking their first major project after stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California. Behind the scenes, the numbers of the Sussexes' projects tell a less regal tale. While Harry & Meghan proved a hit, their later projects — Polo and Heart of Invictus — struggled to keep the spotlight, with Polo only nabbing 500,000 viewers globally and With Love, Meghan falling outside Netflix's coveted top 300 for 2025. Per People, however, there's 'no animosity' between the royal couple and Netflix, with sources noting that it's merely a symptom of Netflix shifting focus from high-cost exclusive deals like Archewell's towards single-project options. The streaming service pivoted in the same way with with their deal involving former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground production company, which evolved into a first-look agreement, according to People. 'Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair,' a source said. 'They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time.' In the meantime, the already-filmed second season of With Love, Meghan will premiere on Netflix in the autumn, while the Sussexes no doubt start working out what their next chapter will look like.

Harry & Meghan Are Facing a Large Financial Setback After Reports They're ‘Running Out of Money'
The moment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from being working royals was the moment they had to start earning money for themselves. Markle, who had been a working actress before, already had money to her name, but Prince Harry had always been in the royal family, so the transition was somewhat complicated. What made it easier for them was that, very quickly, the couple signed a Netflix deal that was reportedly worth $100 million. Now, however, The Sun is reporting that the deal won't be renewed when it expires in September. This, however, doesn't mean there won't be any future collaborations between the two and the streaming service. The second season of With Love, Meghan, for example, is set to premiere this fall on Netflix. However, Netflix's strategy now seems to be moving away from large, multi-project agreements, which is why Harry and Meghan's deal won't be renewed. The same thing happened with the streaming giant's deal with Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.

'Things have just run their course.' Harry and Meghan's collaboration with Netflix has produced With Love, Meghan, which ranked at No. 383 with 5.3 million views, Polo, which was ranked No. 3,436 with 500,000 views, and, of course, the 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan, which remains Netflix's most-watched documentary debut to date. 'Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair,' the source told The Sun. 'They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time,' the source added. This all comes as recent reports about the couple's finances painted a not-so-rosy picture. Sources recently told Page Six that the two let go of several staff members. 'It's the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees,' said one royal source. 'This isn't strategy — it's survival,' one source told celebrity gossiper Rob Shuter. 'They're running out of money, and now they're running out of people.' Another royal source said that layoffs were inevitable for the former royal family members. 'They don't have the money to keep the team they built,' the source said. 'They tried to recreate the royal court — but California doesn't do crowns on credit.' But whether this is reality or just perception is a valid question. Very recently, Markle got candid about money while speaking to billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely on an episode of the podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder.' During the episode, Markle discussed how she wished she had a healthier mindset about it, instead of the constant 'fear' of not having enough. 'So many women, especially, we're taught to not even talk about money,' Markle said. 'And there's lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot,' she explained. 'And at the same time, there's a scarcity mindset that it's easy to attach to, of like 'I'll never have enough.' Considering the couple's net worth, it's unlikely they really are running out of money. But how this continues to develop after the deal with Netflix is up and their kids grow is something people will surely keep an eye on.
