Duchess Meghan Left Out as Prince Harry Plans Solo Netflix Documentary in Africa
Prince Harry is reportedly set to embark on a new adventure, planning to make a solo Netflix documentary in Africa without the presence of his wife, Duchess Meghan.
This move is seen as a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana, who made significant contributions to the continent.
Despite uncertainties surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s $100 million Netflix deal, Prince Harry is determined to create compelling content for the streaming platform.
The pressure is on for the Sussexes to deliver after their Spotify deal fell through.
Prince Harry’s potential African journey is reminiscent of Princess Diana’s activism against landmines in Africa shortly before her tragic death.

While the subject matter of the documentary remains unknown, it has been revealed that the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike has temporarily stalled Prince Harry’s plans.
Sources close to the royal family have confirmed Prince Harry’s deep connection to Africa, describing it as a place where he feels at home.
A Netflix insider also acknowledged that the African documentary was among several ideas discussed by the prince.
Previously, Prince Harry collaborated with Duchess Meghan on their first and only documentary for Netflix, “Meghan and Harry,” released last year.
Additionally, he appeared solo in an Apple TV project called “The Me You Can’t See,” which focused on mental health.
Prince Harry’s affinity for Africa dates back to the early days of his relationship with Meghan Markle.
The couple went camping in Africa during one of their first dates.
Moreover, Prince Harry established a charity called Sentebale, meaning “Forget Me Not” in Lesotho, alongside Prince Seeiso, the younger brother of the country’s king.
However, it was Princess Diana who initially formed a public bond with the continent.
Just months before her untimely death, she bravely walked through an active minefield in Huambo, Angola, with the Halo Trust.
In 2019, Prince Harry followed in his mother’s footsteps by walking through another minefield in Angola.
Prince Harry’s passion for Africa extends beyond charitable work.
He is also the president of African Parks, a conservation group.
Sources suggest that his upcoming documentary may delve into the continent’s national parks and efforts in wildlife conservation.
In a previous interview, Prince Harry expressed his love for Africa, stating, “Africa is my second home.”
This new project comes amid rumors of tension between Netflix and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Their $20 million deal with Spotify recently came to an abrupt end.
However, a source familiar with their $100 million Netflix deal reassured that they would continue to collaborate on various projects.
One such project is “Heart of Invictus,” a docuseries that follows the annual Games for Service members and veterans, founded by Prince Harry.
The series is set to air on Netflix in August, with both the Duke and Duchess making appearances.
The pressure to deliver engaging content for Netflix intensified after the cancellation of their Spotify deal.
Sources claim that the Sussexes failed to present compelling ideas for their podcast.
It was reported that Prince Harry pitched interviews with prominent figures such as Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, Vladimir Putin, and Pope Francis on topics like childhood trauma and religion.
Executives at Spotify were allegedly perplexed by these pitches.
In the wake of the canceled deal, Bill Simmons, a senior executive at Spotify and a sports podcaster, referred to the couple as “effing grifters.”
Despite this setback, Prince Harry remains steadfast in his commitment to producing meaningful content for Netflix and showcasing the beauty and importance of Africa in his upcoming documentary.
