Royal Family: Netflix boss' two-word verdict on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed their multi-million-pound deal with Netflix back in 2020.

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos has given his two-word verdict on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a rare interview with Variety. Shortly after stepping down from royal duties and moving to the US, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the decision to sign a lucrative deal with Netflix.
The couple have since released a few projects, with some being the main focus of either Meghan or Harry. Their joint docuseries, Harry & Meghan, was released in December 2022. Just weeks before the release of With Love, Meghan, Harry released his most recent project in the form of Polo, which saw players of the sport in preparation for the US open.
Speaking the publication, Ted described the couple as "overly dismissed" as he shared his thoughts on Meghan’s new show - which aired on the streaming service earlier this month. Asked if Meghan was the "right person to bet on", he said: "I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture. When we dropped the trailer for the “Harry & Meghan” doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days. The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world." He concluded, "People are fascinated with Meghan Markle. She and Harry are overly dismissed."

Prince Louis could get Prince Andrew's royal title one day thanks to key rule
The royal children of the Prince William and Princess Kate will all see a number of changes to their positions as they grow up - least of all in their titles, including Prince Louis. If and when the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales marries, he could inherit a historic Dukedom, and could one day be bestowed with the title the Duke of York by the crown.The current holder of the title is his grand-uncle, Prince Andrew, so it would be unavailable to Louis if Andrew was still alive when he chooses to marry. Traditionally, the Duke of York title has been given to the monarch's second-eldest son, so if Prince William is on the throne and it is is available, then it's up for grabs for Prince Louis.
