Commenting on Netflix’s decision to drop Meghan Markle’s animated series, the consultant editor of the Daily Mail, Andrew Pierce, claimed that the streaming platform had perhaps come to the conclusion that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “are not the investment they thought they were.”
“What does it say about the fall from grace of Meghan? This contract is not even two years old and they’ve realised already that her celebrity is fading in the United States,” Pierce claimed, adding that losing the planned series “Pearl” was likely a “real blow” to Markle’s ego.
Furthermore, the Daily Mail’s diary editor Richard Eden, shared his belief that the Netflix announcement doesn’t bode well for the rest of the royal family either. “What’s so significant and what’s frankly worrying is that the only projects that will get the green light from Netflix now will be very personal ones about the Royal Family.” Eden continued, “That puts them in an awkward position because I don’t think they wanted to do that and certainly it will make people nervous back at Buckingham Palace.”
