Prince Harry Just Channeled Meghan Markle in the Most Thoughtful Way
It's no secret that couples tend to rub off on each other. Prince William's been spotted borrowing Kate Middleton's parenting moves and Princess Catherine has clearly taken a few style notes from her husband. As for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? The trend holds true and Harry's latest move proves it. On July 19, NYC tattoo artist Joshua Lord, owner of the celeb-favorite East Side Ink, took to Instagram to share a photo of a handwritten letter he received from the Duke of Sussex. Harry had visited the Manhattan parlor back in September 2024 and while he didn't get inked, the visit was part of a special filming session tied to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. A group photo from that day also featured country star Jelly Roll, who headlined the Games' closing ceremony. The letter, dated October 17, 2024, seemed genuine, thoughtful and a little cheeky. 'Dear Josh, thank you so much for your generosity in offering us your space at East Side Ink for filming,' it began. 'It was incredibly kind, and I really enjoyed meeting you and learning more about the history of your shop.' 'I also appreciated your artful handling of press questions regarding my visit, it means a lot and I was rather impressed by your skillful dodging! Well done," Harry added. "They'll be in for a shock when they see the final cut.' The Duke of Sussex wrapped up by extending a personal invite, 'If you'd like to come to Vancouver in February, we'd love to have you! All the best, Harry.' Sound familiar? That thoughtful handwritten note is very Meghan Markle-coded (a.k.a. it's something she's done numerous times before as well). Back in March, the Duchess of Sussex made headlines for sending a surprise letter to Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch after she expressed concern online about Meghan's Netflix project. Meghan's response? Short, sweet and reassuring, 'Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don't be! This is the fun part — let's enjoy it.' In both cases, it's a reminder that despite royal titles and global spotlights, a personal note still goes a long way—and it seems Prince Harry may be picking up on one of Meghan's most charming habits.

Prince Harry And Meghan To Suffer 'Huge Loss Of Revenue' As $100M Netflix Deal Will Not Be Renewed
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's $100 million Netflix deal will not be renewed when it expires in September, reportedly ending on mutual and amicable terms. At the same time, Netflix gained significant viewership from its debut docuseries, but recent projects have underperformed. Meghan is now focused on expanding her lifestyle brand, As Ever, following the successful launch of her rosé. Despite the deal's end, Season 2 of "With Love, Meghan" is set to premiere this fall on Netflix. Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Netflix Deal Won't Be Renewed Harry and Meghan's multi-million-pound deal with Netflix is coming to a close, with reports suggesting the streaming giant will not renew the contract when it expires this September. Although no formal statement is expected from either party, insiders claim the decision to part ways was mutual. Behind the scenes, Netflix executives have quietly decided it's time to move on. The Sussexes originally signed a reported $100 million agreement with Netflix, leading to the successful launch of their documentary series, one of the platform's most talked-about releases. According to The Sun, a source close to the situation, "Netflix was 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." Things definitely slowed down for the duo as one of Harry's latest projects, 'Polo,' reportedly drew just half a million viewers, failing to make a strong impact. Meanwhile, Meghan has been focusing on her new lifestyle brand, As Ever. "The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple," the 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. The content got weaker from there on, but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing." Harry and Meghan's Netflix Exit Reportedly Amicable, But Will Be A Huge 'Loss Of Revenue' For The Royals While viewership has declined and the Sussexes' priorities have shifted, sources say the separation from Netflix is amicable. "There's no animosity from either side," the source said. "Things have just run their course. Netflix execs are well aware Meghan's priority now is her own brand, and they won't play second fiddle to that." "Publicly, there will not be a statement, and of course, if things change dramatically, they'd be open to a one-off project down the line," they added. Still, the end of the lucrative deal reportedly hits Harry harder, with the source noting that "it's a huge loss of revenue" for the couple. Could The Royal Couple Move To Paramount+? Despite the end of the contract, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos reportedly remains on friendly terms with the Duchess of Sussex. Meanwhile, streaming rival Paramount+ is reportedly interested in collaborating with the Montecito-based royals, especially after their partially successful deal with rival company Netflix. According to reports, the duke and duchess would consider new opportunities, provided the right concept comes along. It's also been revealed that Netflix signed a deal with King Charles and actor, Idris Elba for a documentary. As reported by The Sun, the deal with the British monarch may have faced a roadblock if the streaming giant had remained in business with Harry and Meghan by renewing their contract. Season 2 of 'With Love, Meghan' Set To Premiere on Netflix This Fall Despite End of $100M Deal Despite the $100 million deal ending, the curtain hasn't completely closed on Harry and Meghan's relationship with Netflix. A second season of Meghan's lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan" has already been filmed and is set to premiere on the platform this fall. Although a specific release date hasn't been announced, the Duchess of Sussex previously teased the upcoming season with an ASMR-inspired montage posted to Instagram. The video featured cozy scenes from the kitchen and behind-the-scenes moments from the upcoming episodes. "If you're loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!" Meghan wrote in the caption. "Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life! @netflix." Michael Steed is returning to direct the second season, with model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen announced as the first confirmed guest star. Meghan Markle Expands Lifestyle Brand, As Ever, Pauses Podcast To Focus On Growth Meanwhile, Meghan is reportedly doubling down on her lifestyle venture, As Ever, following the successful sell-out of her debut rosé wine. According to those close to her, the Duchess of Sussex is eager to expand the brand and is already preparing to launch a champagne line, along with a selection of holiday-themed products. "As a growing business, As ever is continuing to explore growth opportunities that feel aligned with the brand's core values and quality standards," a source shared, per Page Six. "The brand continues to evolve with new products that align with her vision for quality lifestyle goods at accessible price points." Last month, Meghan confirmed that she was taking a pause on her podcast focused on female founders, citing her desire to fully focus on the brand. She made the announcement during an appearance on Skims co-founder Emma Grede's Aspire podcast. Solve the daily Crossword

Prince Harry And Meghan's 'Peace Talks' Have A Lot To Do With Their Expiring Netflix Deal, Expert Claims
Speculation of a reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles is growing amid reports that the duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, will not be renewing their $100 million deal with Netflix. Royal experts suggest financial pressures may be prompting the Montecito-based couple to reconnect with the monarchy. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan's underperforming Netflix projects and past loss of their Spotify deal raise questions about sustaining their lifestyle without royal support or new lucrative deals. Royal Expert Links Prince Harry's Reunion Talks To Expiring Netflix Deal A Royal expert has weighed in on the growing speculation surrounding potential reconciliation talks between Prince Harry and King Charles, offering a theory that ties the rumored peace efforts to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's fading Netflix deal. Recent sightings of senior aides from both camps meeting in London have fueled rumors that discussions are underway to mend the strained relationship. Speaking on The Sun's "Royal Exclusive" show, author and royal commentator Robert Jobson suggested that the timing may not be coincidental. According to Jobson, with Harry and Meghan's multi-million-dollar Netflix contract reportedly approaching its end, the couple may be seeking renewed financial support from the monarchy. "Well, the deal was always set at about $100 million, wasn't it?" he explained, noting that much of the money was tied to specific production obligations. "And the talk of that figure sort of blew a lot of people's minds, but I think that was for productions and things that they're supposed to have done." He added, "Where does it leave them? Probably with a bit of a bowl out, looking for some handouts. Maybe that's why they were over with their staff, they were over here having discussions with the King. I don't know." Royal Experts Question How Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Will Fund Lavish Lifestyle After Losing Major Deals Jobson continued his commentary by highlighting the financial challenges the Sussexes may now be facing. "The reality is in the past they got support from the King and the late Queen, and they said they were going to go and make their way," Jobson noted. "They've lost Spotify, they've lost Netflix. They can't rely on the spare money forever, can they?" Also weighing in during the segment was Sky News' Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, who raised similar concerns about the couple's future income. With their Netflix contract set to expire in September, Mills questioned how they plan to maintain their costly lifestyle. "It's just fascinating," she remarked. "They have this very expensive lifestyle. They have to pay for their security and pay for that big mansion. How do you kind of keep the money coming in?" Meghan Markle's Independence May Pave Way For Harry's Reconciliation With King Charles, Says Royal Expert Meanwhile, one royal expert believes that any reunion between Harry and Charles is unlikely to fully reintegrate him into the royal fold. According to royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop, it could be Meghan's focus on building her own independent career that's prompting Harry to revisit family ties. In an interview with The Mirror, Dunlop suggested that Meghan appears content far from palace life, and that could be opening the door for Harry to reconnect. "Love her or loathe her, Meghan has found her happy place and it has nothing to do with the Royal Family," Dunlop said. "As Ever, raspberry jam, beige ensembles, and over-emotive podcasts might not be your thing, but they are working for California's Princess." She added that Meghan's self-sufficiency could actually help ease tensions between Harry and his father: "And before any bilious naysayers butt in, this is good news for a future rapprochement between Harry and the King. The two men have a chance to work things through. And surely everybody wants that?" Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Netflix Deal To End Amid Poor Viewership Recently, reports surfaced indicating that Netflix has opted not to renew its multi-year partnership with Harry and Meghan, which is set to expire in the coming months. The original deal, signed in September 2020, was estimated to be worth around $100 million and aimed to produce a range of content for the streaming giant. Throughout their collaboration, the Sussexes released three key projects: their docuseries "Harry & Meghan," Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan," and a documentary centered on Harry's passion for polo, simply titled "Polo." However, despite the high-profile nature of the partnership, the couple's projects reportedly underperformed. "With Love, Meghan" placed 383rd in Netflix's viewership rankings, while "Polo" fell even further, landing in 3,436th place with only around 500,000 views. Netflix Execs Feel 'They've Got All They Can' From The Sussexes, Source Claims Harry and Meghan's decision to pursue deals with streaming platforms was addressed by the prince during the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. At the time, he revealed that financial independence became urgent after the Royal Family cut them off, leaving them to cover their own security expenses. That was "never part of the plan," Harry said of their commercial ventures. "That was suggested by somebody else by the point where my family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us." Now sources claim Netflix is done with the couple as "they've got all they can" from the Montecito-based royals. "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," a source told The Sun. "The content got weaker from there on, but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing." Solve the daily Crossword
