Prince Harry and Meghan's highly publicized ventures into the entertainment industry have concluded with the end of significant partnerships. Their five-year deal with Netflix, signed in 2020 and reportedly valued between $60 million and $100 million, resulted in several programs. However, this arrangement has now been replaced by a less lucrative agreement, occurring against a backdrop of a broader downturn in the entertainment sector.
In 2023, Spotify and the couple's Archewell Audio jointly announced they had "mutually agreed to part ways." The production business associated with the Sussexes also experienced high staff turnover, with some former employees reportedly referring to themselves as the "Sussex Survivors Club."
While the couple's entertainment projects have concluded, Prince Harry achieved commercial success with his memoir, "Spare." The book, which reportedly came with a $20 million advance, sold over six million copies worldwide, becoming the fastest-selling non-fiction book on record. As part of its promotion, Harry engaged in a public conversation with trauma specialist Dr. Gabor Maté, discussing how his royal upbringing influenced him. Maté described Harry as "very personable, very sensitive" and someone striving to avoid passing his traumas to his own children.
