Sussexes’ Flop Era Now Outlasts Their Peak as Netflix Scales Back and Paid Australia Gigs Face Criticism

Industry pushback signals a search for traction through paid appearances.

Overview

  • Newsweek reports the couple have gone more than three years without a new breakout hit, outlasting the stretch when their Netflix series and Harry’s memoir drove peak attention.
  • Netflix has exited as an equity partner in Meghan’s As Ever brand in what was described as a mutual decision, while the streamer says projects with the couple remain in development.
  • Social media users found a website glitch that exposed As Ever’s inventory, which Newsweek says showed about $21.8 million in unsold goods across 650,190 items, a figure that reflects stock rather than sales.
  • Meghan plans a paid “girls weekend” in Sydney with tickets starting at £1,439, a move a prominent royal author labeled a cash grab.
  • Prince Harry is set to speak at Melbourne’s InterEdge Summit, where tickets start at £1,054 and organizers say proceeds will go to the crisis support charity Lifeline.
