Harry and Meghan ‘believe royal family behind Vendetta blocking big brand deals’

In another dramatic week for the British royal family, British media reports that WME has held crisis talks with its high-profile clients Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Despite Harry’s victory in Britain’s High Court on Friday – where he was awarded $180,000 in damages after his phone was hacked by Mirror Group Newspapers – the week has been filled with reports that a series of failed projects and brand partnerships have caused the couple to split. Complaining about it is a vendetta against them.

The of Great Britain Emphasize The newspaper quotes an insider who told them that despite the success of the sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the big numbers for her Netflix documentary series at home on Netflix in December 2022 and the record sales of Harry’s memoirs Reservations Earlier this year: “There were discussions with well-known brands that came to nothing, but should have happened.” These brands then actively courted other family members.”

The insider adds: “Both Harry and Meghan often wore Dior and were once big fans of the brand,” the source said. “Harry wore one [Dior] coincided with the coronation and the Sussexes began building their partnership with the fashion house.

“Then the focus shifted to Camilla and other family members. To rub salt in the wounds, actress Kate Middleton plays [in The Crown‘s final series on Netflix] was announced as the new face of the brand. It was all very suspicious timing.”

Markle has been with WME since April 2023, but no new projects have been finalized yet. Instead, the couple’s $20 million contract with Spotify was cancelled, with director Bill Simmons calling them “fraud” and Markle’s pet documentary project pearl was canceled by Netflix. The Express‘s source added: “The team doesn’t seem to know what to do at the moment.” The consensus now is to try to undo the damage done to the royal family and hope that this connection gets them out of trouble.
