Harry and Meghan issued warning by ex-royal staffer as he reveals Firm's 'biggest fear'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned against causing "any more damage" to the Royal Family after they struck a new, watered-down deal with Netflix. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell Productions announced earlier this month that they are "extending their partnership" with Netflix with a new "multi-year first look" deal.

Netflix's new deal will see the streaming giant have the first look at the Sussex couple's ideas before deciding if they want to work on them. Harry and Meghan's relationship with the Firm turned frosty after they quit royal duties in 2020 and made a series of allegations against them, including in their eponymous bombshell docuseries for Netflix, which was released in 2022.

Now, a former royal butler has given them a word of caution ahead of their future projects.

Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years, warned that any further damage from their deal could jeopardise their relationship with the Royal Family.

Speaking to OLBG, Mr Harrold stated the couple will likely be more cautious to avoid upsetting the royals with their projects.

He said: "I don’t think Meghan and Harry would have told the Royal Family about their new Netflix deal ahead of the announcement. But I do think they will start being more careful not to cause further upset as they move into their future business ventures.

"If they cause any more damage with these programmes, it will impact any ongoing attempts to build bridges."

He argued the primary concern for the Royal Family is the potential for a second season of the Harry & Meghan docuseries.

Mr Harrold said: "I think the Royal Family are beyond this now.

"I don’t think they’ll be surprised or disappointed by it, because they’re used to them doing what they want now. Their biggest concern will be another tell-all documentary on their fallouts with the family."

The Sussexes's latest project on Netflix, Meghan's cooking show titled With Love, Meghan, drops tomorrow, August 26.
