Prince Harry recently delivered a speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, but according to royal biographer Tom Bauer, the Duke’s appearance was primarily to boost his profile and promote his upcoming projects.
In a conversation with talk TV host Piers Morgan about his forthcoming book, “Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” set for release on July 21, Mr. Bauer highlighted the strategic nature of Prince Harry’s public engagements.
During the interview, Mr. Bauer emphasized that everything Prince Harry and Meghan do is intricately linked to their future documentary series.
When questioned by Piers Morgan about the motives behind these actions, the biographer explained that maintaining a high profile is essential for the couple to secure financial backing, particularly from platforms like Netflix.
The couple’s endeavors are strategically aligned to promote the Sussexes and their future ventures.
Discussing Prince Harry’s involvement with the UN, Piers Morgan raised concerns about the choice of using public figures such as Harry for such events.
In response, Bauer commented on the seemingly sparse audience at the auditorium, implying that the UN’s reputation for being all talk and little action was evident.
He further critiqued Prince Harry’s lifestyle in Montecito, suggesting a disconnect from the realities faced by many around the world.
Following the establishment of their production company, Meghan and Harry struck a lucrative deal with Netflix rumored to be valued at $100 million.
However, details surrounding the allocation and utilization of this substantial sum remain shrouded in mystery.
Reports suggest that the couple did not receive the full amount upfront, receiving only a fraction initially.
Industry experts speculate that the $100 million deal with Netflix likely involves an advanced development agreement, providing funds for idea generation, concept creation, and pilot filming.
While the initial figure may seem staggering, it is intended to cover the comprehensive production costs of their projects, with detailed breakdowns allocated for various aspects of show creation.
Netflix’s decision-making process regarding financial agreements also factors in projected profits and revenue sharing models.
Consultants familiar with Netflix projects explain that while some deals may yield substantial returns for creators, the actual payout structure can vary significantly based on individual negotiations and project outcomes.
Notably, the couple’s collaboration with Netflix extends beyond financial transactions, with camera crews reportedly granted access to their Montecito residence.
Instances of filming during Prince Harry and Meghan’s public appearances indicate a close working relationship between the streaming platform and the royal duo, hinting at potential future content offerings capturing their experiences and initiatives.
