Prince Harry’s recent speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York City was primarily intended to promote his upcoming projects and increase his profile, according to royal biographer Tom Bower.

In an interview with talk TV host Piers Morgan, Bower discussed his upcoming book, “Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” set to be released on July 21.

During the conversation, the focus shifted to Prince Harry’s UN appearance, with Bower asserting that it was strategically aligned with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future documentary series.

When asked why Prince Harry engages in such activities, Bower explained that it is essential for him to maintain a high profile as it directly impacts their income through platforms like Netflix.

Piers Morgan then questioned whether the UN should avoid involving individuals like Prince Harry.

Bower responded by pointing out the relatively empty auditorium during the speech and suggesting that the UN is often associated with empty rhetoric.

He also expressed disappointment in Prince Harry’s failure to address the significant problems faced by Africa, given his luxurious lifestyle in Montecito.

Since establishing their company, Meghan and Harry secured a lucrative deal with Netflix, reportedly worth $100 million.

However, details regarding their production commitments to the streaming platform have been scarce, aside from the cancellation of one series and the announcement of an upcoming reality show.

Recent reports suggest that the couple did not receive the full $100 million upfront but only a fraction of it.

Industry experts explain that while the deal may be in the six-figure range, the initial payment was significantly lower.

A TV and film consultant in Los Angeles, experienced in working with Netflix, revealed that the couple likely received a few million dollars as an advanced development deal to generate ideas, concepts, and film pilots.

The consultant further clarified that the large sum mentioned in the deal represents the budget for the entire production, covering various aspects of the show’s creation.

The breakdown of fees for writers, executive producers, and other contributors would be accounted for within this budget.

The consultant emphasized that each deal is unique, with some companies receiving up to 20% of the total budget, while others receive less.

It remains unclear whether Prince Harry and Meghan negotiated additional bonuses tied to the success of their projects, similar to arrangements made by showrunners on Netflix.

If such bonuses were included, the couple could potentially earn more once their shows air.

Additionally, it is believed that Netflix camera crews have been granted access to Prince Harry and Meghan’s Montecito home.

The crews have also been spotted accompanying the couple during their recent trips to New York City and the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

In conclusion, Prince Harry’s UN speech served as a platform to promote his upcoming projects and increase his profile.

While the details of their Netflix deal remain undisclosed, experts suggest that the initial payment received by the couple was significantly less than the reported $100 million.

However, the potential for additional earnings through bonuses and the extensive access granted to Netflix camera crews indicate a promising partnership between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the streaming giant.
