As per Page Six, the staffing cuts come against the backdrop of the Sussexes' Netflix deal coming to an end this year. Sources told the outlet that the agreement, reported to be $100 million, is actually closer to $20 million. The couple's Harry & Meghan docu-series and the Duchess of Sussex's recent show, With Love, Meghan, have proved to be popular.

Netflix is now focusing on 'first look' deals rather than exclusive contracts, which means Harry and Meghan could be re-signed by the streaming giant for less money than their deal. The couple incurs several expenses, including an annual security bill of around $2 million. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also have to foot the bill for their staff in communications, the Archewell Foundation, production, and employees at their home in Montecito, California. Reportedly, the duo also pays for a portion of their tours to places like Nigeria and Colombia, Page Six claimed. The report said that the move behind the Sussexes reducing their staff is to save money. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have often been termed as difficult to work with in the past, as per media reports cited by the outlet. FAQs Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry together? Yes, the couple is still together. Do Harry and Meghan still get money from the royal family? As per a BBC report, the couple received a significant sum of money from King Charles when they stepped down as working royals. Since then, Harry and Meghan have established commercial arrangements with various private companies. Is With Love, Meghan back for season 2? Yes, the show will return for another season on Netflix.

Kareena Kapoor Calls Out Prada For Copying Kolhapuri Chappals, Drops Cheeky Remark
Mumbai: Actress Kareena Kapoor, on Sunday, took to social media to call out luxury fashion brand Prada for allegedly copying traditional Kolhapuri chappal designs. The actress shared a photo of her wearing her OG Kolhapuri chappal as she subtly took a dig at the brand. Taking to her Instagram stories, Bebo posted an image of her flaunting her Kolhapuri chappals and captioned it, 'Sorry not Prada…but my OG Kolhapuri.' Kareena kept her face out of the frame, letting her stylish Kolhapuri chappals do all the talking. Kareena Kapoor's post comes just days after Prada stirred up controversy for showcasing footwear that closely resembled traditional Kolhapuri chappals without crediting their Indian origins. For the unversed, Prada recently introduced a pair of footwear called 'Toe Ring Sandals,' which closely resemble India's traditional Kolhapuri chappals. These sandals were showcased at the Prada Men's Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan on June 22. However, the design was presented under the European brand's label without any clear credit to its Indian roots. In response, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Bombay High Court, demanding compensation for Kolhapuri chappal artisans, whose work the plea claims has been copied without acknowledgment. The plea also stated that Prada used the traditional design in their latest collection. While the brand had earlier said the sandals were 'inspired by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear with a centuries-old heritage,' the controversy has sparked debate over credit and cultural appropriation. Amid criticism for the striking similarity between their sandals and traditional Kolhapuri chappals—and the steep price tag of nearly Rs. 1 lakh—Prada responded with a statement recognizing the footwear's Indian roots. In a statement, Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, said, 'We acknowledge that the sandals featured in the recent Prada Men's 2026 Fashion Show are inspired by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear, with a centuries-old heritage. We deeply recognize the cultural significance of such Indian craftsmanship.'
