Meghan Markle Begs Netflix To Keep Her Around After ‘Humiliation’ Of ‘Reputation Nosedive’ – Her ‘Future Is Dubious’

Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, is celebrating her 44th birthday today. Unfortunately for her, however, new reports are alleging that Meghan is spending her birthday begging Netflix to keep her around after the “humiliation” of her brutal “reputation nosedive.”

Last month, we reported that Meghan Markle was left humiliated when her show With Love, Meghan failed to crack the top 300 on Netflix during the first half of 2025. Instead, it came in at 383 in terms of most viewed Netflix shows.

Meghan’s $100 million deal with Netflix is set to expire next month. Now, insiders are alleging that Meghan is currently in talks with Netflix. She’s allegedly desperately trying to convince the streaming service to renew her contract.

Meghan Gets Desperate With Netflix

A Hollywood insider recently told The Sun that Meghan’s Netflix contract will not be renewed.

“The deal is done; no more shows will be made,” this source alleged. “Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple.”

This appears to have sent Meghan scrambling. Indeed, she is now allegedly in last-ditch talks with Netflix to try and save her contract. According to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, however, Meghan is facing an uphill battle.

“Meghan Markle’s future is dubious,” Fordwich told Fox News. “The contract conclusion is a public setback and humiliation. It’s tangible proof of her plummeting popularity and lack of public interest. … [And] Netflix has a really good gauge of what the public wants to view.”

“I have heard speculation regarding her trying to secure new partnerships,” she continued. “[But] I simply can’t see others wanting to risk being associated with her track record.”

Meghan’s ‘Reputation Nosedive’

British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard chimed in to say that she’s heard that Meghan is working on an agreement with Netflix or “possibly a first-rights agreement.” 

“Meghan has taken a reputation nosedive,” Chard explained. She added that Meghan needs “a reputation boost within the court of public opinion.”

“This will bring her brownie points and financial prizes,” Chard stated. “Meghan will continue to hustle her wares and beaver away until she builds her empire.”

Doug Eldridge, a branding expert and the founder of Achilles PR, also gave his thoughts on Meghan’s situation.

“She never cracked the top 300 of the most-watched titles in the first half of 2025, so taking a haircut on the re-up would make sense from Netflix’s point of view,” warned Eldridge. “That said, since the streaming giant has an equity stake in Meghan’s retail success, they are equally incentivized to extend their exposure through their platform as it directly translates to commercial success.”

This was a reference to Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, which she has partnered up with Netflix on.

“Their feet aren’t taped to the pedals at this point, but you know how that process works: If you stop pedaling, you tip over,” Eldridge added. “Both parties would be wise to do a series of one-year extensions, until the ‘speed’ slows and the front wheel starts to wobble. At that point, Meghan should be able to coast on her own in a commercial sense.”

Hollywood Is ‘Bored’ With Meghan And Harry

A Netflix insider, however, recently made it clear that when it comes to a potential contract renewal, it’s not looking good for Meghan and Harry.

“No one in Hollywood rates them anymore or wants to be around them, especially her,” the source told Daily Mail last month. “People are bored with them.”

“The Netflix deal not being renewed will have a big impact on them as they are running out of options of who will work with them and reap in the future,” this source concluded. “As Ever has a good fan base and a strong database of subscribers to its newsletter but consistency is key and it’s not delivering on this so people will quickly be bored and the novelty is wearing off now for most.”
