The Royal Family should be “concerned” over a potential new project of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, an expert has claimed. With their lucrative Netflix deal reportedly coming to an end in September, many have speculated what the Sussexes will turn to next to subsidise their finances.
While both Harry and Meghan have a host of other projects that generate a hefty revenue, such as Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, they have hefty bills to pay for the likes of their Montecito mansion and full-time security. Now, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes the Firm could be starting to fear that another explosive memoir could be on the way from Harry.

In addition he says the royal family could also be concerned about Meghan releasing her own tell-all autobiography, given her critical views on her short time as a working royal.
Mr Fitzwilliams told the Express: “What would sell is another memoir. Harry told us when Spare was released that he cut 400 pages as they would be toxic for the Royal Family. The royals will be concerned that the Sussexes could publish another memoir and this time it could be Meghan, or Harry could write a memoir about his early life.”
He continued: “When you have unhappy exiles you either have reconciliation or you have trouble. I can’t see Meghan and Harry wanting to change their lifestyle. This devastating blow from Netflix raises the question of how they fund it without dishing more dirt.”
When asked about the Firm’s potential concerns over Harry and Meghan’s possible project, Fitzwilliams said: “If you behave as outrageously as the Sussexes have, you are not trusted.
“Unless the Royal Family knows something we don’t, they will be very worried. The Royal Family have not forgotten the devastating interview on Oprah and must be hoping they (Harry and Meghan) find a source of revenue very quickly.”
The comments from Mr Fitzwilliam come after another royal expert claimed that Prince Harry could have an ulterior motive in pursuing the alleged royal reconciliation with King Charles, and could instead be asking for a “handout”.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show , royal author Robert Jobson suggested that Harry and Meghan could be seeking financial help from the King, hence the initiation of peace talks between the Sussex camp and the royal family.
Jobson said: “Well, the deal was always set at about $100 million, wasn’t it? And the talk of that figure sort of blew a lot of people’s minds, but I think that was for productions and things that they’re supposed to have done.
“Where does it leave them? Probably with a bit of a bowl out, looking for some handouts. Maybe that’s why they were over with their staff, were over here having discussions with the King. I don’t know.
“The reality is in the past they got support from the King and the late Queen, and they said they were going to go and make their way. They’ve lost Spotify, they’ve lost Netflix. They can’t rely on the spare money forever, can they?”
Earlier this month, it was reported that Netflix has decided not to renew the contract it holds with the Sussexes once it runs out in a few months time. The Sussexes are believed to have signed a five-year deal worth around $100million in September 2020.
