Harry and Meghan Netflix Projects Stall as Jordan Trip Draws New Criticism

Author: Caloroga Shark Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast March 9, 2026 Duration: 8:46
Questions are growing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s production deal with Netflix as several projects remain stuck in development. An adaptation of the novel Meet Me at the Lake — reportedly acquired for about $3 million — still has no director or cast attached nearly three years after the announcement, while another project based on The Wedding Date is also stalled.

At the same time, the couple’s humanitarian trip to Jordan is drawing fresh scrutiny. A public relations expert says the visit was “casually competent, but not strategic,” arguing it followed the familiar formula of carefully staged humanitarian appearances without producing a defining moment that could shift public perception.

The trip also sparked political controversy after Harry’s remarks about humanitarian aid to Gaza prompted a public rebuke from Israel’s deputy foreign minister, who invited him to visit Israel and “see for yourself.”

Meanwhile, commentator Maureen Callahan accused Meghan of exploiting images from a hospital visit to a Gaza burn victim, calling the moment “nothing short of exploitation,” while reports claim Prince William is privately frustrated by what one source described as a “Diana 2.0 act.”
Plus: Andrew reportedly pushed for Princess Eugenie’s wedding to match Prince Harry’s in scale, officials confirm he cannot legally lose the Freedom of the City of London honour, and royal watchers speculate that Sarah Ferguson may hold insight into private tensions between the Sussexes and the wider family.
