Netflix is set to shun 'royal-linked vanity projects' in a move that could kill the Duchess of Sussex's rumoured involvement in The Gentlemen.
The streamer’s new chief content officer, Peter Rice, is expected to take a markedly different approach to his predecessor, Bela Bajaria - seen as Harry and Meghan's biggest champion within the firm.
Ms Bajaria was last week ousted from her role after a decade. The period saw the production of Harry & Meghan series in 2022 as well as With Love, Meghan, which came out last year.
'There will be major casualties. He [Rice] is charged with finding the next Stranger Things or Emily In Paris, rather than some royal-linked vanity project,' a Netflix source said.
I read last week that Netflix was putting people on the chopping block and now Meghan's great cheerleader is gone. leaving only Ted Sarandos. I read that even he's fed up with the Sussexes.
Guy Ritchie was asked about Meghan appearing in The Gentleman and he indicated surprise and also indicated his "meeting" with Meghan never happened. That story about Meghan getting on the show came from her PR or Meghan herself and now she's caught lying, yet again.
