Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's remaining links to two other members of the Royal Family will likely not be enough for them to renew their Netflix contract, which is nearing its end, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a five-year contract with the streaming giant back in 2020, after they stepped down as senior working royals. The deal was reportedly worth an estimated £80million ($100million).

Since then, the couple have produced and released three series for Netflix via Archewell - their docuseries, Harry and Meghan, as well as Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead.

They've also got another two shows coming up, Polo, set to be released in December, and a cooking show curated by Meghan, with its release date still unknown.

But as the Sussexes's Netflix contract is nearing its end, a royal commentator claimed that it will unlikely get renewed due to the couple's strained relationship with the Royal Family

Prince Harry was heavily criticised for his "paranoid accusations" against Queen Camilla in his bombshell memoir, Spare, which has resulted in him being the "outcast" instead, an author has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex released his bombshell book last year, and in it, he painted his stepmother in a less-than-favourable light.

Harry mentioned Camilla several times and accused her of being "dangerous" and leaking negative stories to the press, allegedly "sacrificing him on her personal PR altar". He also pondered whether she would become his and William’s "wicked stepmother" before her marriage to Charles in 2005.

Now, following a new Channel 4 documentary titled Queen Camilla: The Wicked Stepmother?, an author blasted the duke and claimed the King's wife did not "deserve this kind of treatment".

Meghan Markle looked "pleased" during her final royal engagement as a working royal like she had got "exactly what she wanted", a royal commentator has claimed.

Harry and Meghan then moved to the US, where they still reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

According to the Mail's Diary editor Richard Eden, there is one picture from their last royal event in which the tension between the Sussexes and the royals is very clear.

Royal fans were left baffled over Prince Harry's "Americanisation" during his latest video to promote the Invictus Games.

Princess Kate is a huge supporter of sustainable brands that stretch far beyond her stunning taste in clothes. It has been said that both she and Prince William try to live as eco-friendly as possible. In recent years the 42-year-old has taken a shine to jewellery brands that promote responsible manufacturing, like Monica Vinader.

The British label not only uses 100% recycled gold and silver but over half of their gemstones can be traced back to their source. Meanwhile, the label offers a circular approach to their collections, thanks to timeless designs meant to last a lifetime.

The ongoing feud betweenPrince Andrewand King Charles over the Royal Lodge residence seems to be far from resolution. Reports have consistently suggested that King Charles is keen for his scandal-hit brother to vacate the expansive 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park in favour of the more modest Frogmore Cottage.

Commentators have speculated that Andrew's hefty £1 million annual "living allowance" has been cut by Charles, raising questions about how the Duke of York will manage the home's maintenance costs. The Royal Lodge has become a retreat for reclusive Andrew, who stepped back from public life after struggling to justify his relationship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Last November, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to join officials to open a new training facility called West Coast Warrior Fitness Programme at the United States Navy SEALs in San Diego.
