Social networks and foreign media are discussing the news that British Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have founded their own production company and signed a contract with the American streaming service Netflix, for which they will now create films, shows and series. Their first project will be "an animated series that inspires women," they write "Facts".
Many social media users feel that this "immersion in Hollywood" is inconsistent with the couple's previous claims that they want to lead a "quiet, secluded life" away from the palace and the paparazzi. It was the desire to hide from the annoying media that they named as one of the main reasons for their decision to resign from royal powers and renounce the status of high-ranking members of the British monarch's family.
Meanwhile, The Sun provides the opinion of Jonathan Shalit, a reputable PR guru and talent search agent. He believes the Netflix deal could net the pair roughly $ 50 million to $ 100 million. In general, taking into account bonuses and advertising, their fortune could increase to $ 240 million. The creative component will be fully taken by Megan, who has experience in filming in television series.

According to Shalit, this is an amazing contract of historical significance.
“Never before has a single Hollywood studio been able to get hold of the British royal family,” he said. Jonathan is confident that Harry and Meghan will hire professional producers to stay in the background and do all the work. However, the names of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will turn the partnership with Netflix into a gold mine.
“It doesn't matter what you can do. It matters who you are, ”says British journalist Ingrid Stewart, an expert on the life of the royal family. She believes that Harry's father Prince Charles will breathe a sigh of relief if his son and daughter-in-law start earning money on their own and he no longer has to pay their bills. And ordinary Britons will be happy that Megan and Harry will finally be able to return to the treasury the taxpayers' money spent on renovating their house in Windsor.
Some experts, however, believe that Queen Elizabeth will not be delighted with the new career of her grandson, who has chosen show business under the influence of his wife.

In 2018, Barack and Michelle Obama signed a contract with Netflix to create documentaries. The 44th US president and former first lady received $ 50 million. However, they deny giving any advice to Harry and Meghan.
