Pearl with the filmmaker back in 2018. This was long before
Apparently, Meghan and David held active discussions with Netflix at a time when Markle was very much a part of the royal family, living in the UK. On the contrary,
during their controversial tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry had insisted profusely how their Netflix and Spotify deals were never thought of beforehand and that it was only after they shifted their permanent home base from England to California in early 2020 when they were financially cut off by his family.
The Duke of Sussex stated that their big-money deals were made once the couple made the LA move and it was "never part of the plan," before adding, "That was suggested by somebody else [a friend] by the point of where my family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us."
