Meghan Markle’s exclusive $100M Netflix deal is done — but ‘more TV projects are coming soon’ from her and Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has halted her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast — as her multi-million dollar Netflix deal with Prince Harry comes to its end, multiple sources tell Page Six.
As Page Six exclusively revealed earlier this month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are poised to sign a first-look deal with the streamer when their exclusive deal ends later this year.
They are set to follow in the footsteps of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, whose production company Higher Ground now has a similar deal with Netflix.
A source told us, “There are more TV projects coming soon with both the duke and duchess.”
Markle, 43, meanwhile, will return with a second season of her mocked lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan,” in September, which was filmed at the same time as her first season.
Rumors about the status of the Sussexes’ Netflix deal only ramped up when the streamer announced last week that ‘With Love, Meghan’ was at No. 383 in its semi-annual report, “What We Watched,” with a total of 5.3 million views since its March 4 debut.
Despite this, an insider pointed out that “With Love, Meghan” was actually in the top 5 percent of Netflix shows — ranking 383 out of 7500 — and had outperformed other leading “lifestyle” shows such as “The Great British Baking Show,” two seasons of “Chef’s Table” and Season 9 of “Queer Eye.”
Industry sources had already told Page Six that Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos remains a huge fan of Harry and Markle and regularly dines with them.
Markle, according to friends, wants to continue to focus on her lifestyle range, As ever, after recently selling out her rosé wine. She has a champagne range coming out and there will be holiday 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,” said a source.
“The brand continues to evolve with new products that align with her vision for quality lifestyle goods at accessible price points.”
Markle first touted that she was pausing her female founder podcast to focus on her business last month while speaking on Skims’ co-founder Emma Grede’s “Aspire” podcast.
“What an amazing opportunity, to pull back the curtain and let people see what’s happening at the start,” she said, “to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who’ve been on that full trajectory, that are on the other side of success. To be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way.
“And to then take everyone’s advice, and mine included, and to say ‘I love that there’s so much excitement and desire for another season, but I need to focus on my business,’” she continued.
There is also change at Lemonada Media, which produced Markle’s podcast, as it has been bought by Swedish company PodX.
Alongside As ever, Markle source say she is focusing on raising her children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. S
he is also investing in female-led companies she feels “passionate” about, including Midi Health, the fastest growing virtual care clinic focused on women navigating midlife hormonal change, as well as oat milk latte business Clevr.
