Netflix Wants to Work With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on The Crown
It’s only been a few days since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed they’d be leaving their current roles as working royals. However, the job offers are already rolling in for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including one potential offer to take part in the Netflix hit drama, The Crown.
For those of you somehow not in the know about the award-winning (and highly bingeable) show, The Crown is a fictionalized account of Queen Elizabeth II’s life, along with the lives of her family members. The show recently dropped its third season, which chronicles the teenage years of Queen Elizabeth’s son, Prince Charles. Season four is currently in production and will reportedly feature Charles’ introduction and early marriage to Princess Diana. So it’s only a matter of time before the world is introduced to a baby, child, teen, and adult Prince Harry.
Naturally, following Harry and Meghan’s bombshell announcement to leave the monarchy in an official capacity—and the news that the pair has renounced any public funding in the future—royals fans have theorized that Markle may return to acting. And, some even speculated she and Harry could somehow join forces with The Crown. And it appears Netflix is keen on the idea as well.
“Who wouldn’t be interested?” Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarando said at the Producer’s Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, per a report from The Daily Mail. “Yes, sure.”
While this is still a hypothetical it’s not that unprecedented. After all, Meghan has already reportedly signed a deal with Disney to do voiceover work in exchange for a charitable contribution to Elephants Without Borders.
Perhaps a cameo in season 5 could be worked out if Netflix is feeling equally charitable.
