Though a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle denied claims that they would make a reality show, sources say that people's incredible interest in the couple could ultimately lead to a new reality show, thanks to their new Netflix deal. With Harry and Meghan's long list of celebrity friends, here's who could show up in their Netflix reality show.
Since splitting from the British royal family earlier this year, Harry and Meghan have kept a fairly low profile in LA. Meghan's first job since leaving was voicing a Disney+ documentary on elephants, but it seems they are ready to come straight back into the spotlight, as they've made a multiyear deal with streaming platform Netflix, which is rumored to be worth up to $150 million. Appearances on Netflix in the future won't be Meghan's first time in front of the camera, as she gained fame as attorney Rachel Zane from Suits season one to Suits season seven. Harry has also spent his entire life in front of the cameras, as all members of the royal family do. It does make sense that they will continue to live their lives onscreen.
Meghan has previously stated that she doesn't want to return to an acting career, but that she would take part in documentaries and perhaps an unscripted series. Harry and Meghan moved to California in late March and their new neighbors could be some of the guests on ta prospective Netflix reality show. Suits fans will be happy to hear that Meghan Markle and Abigail Spencer, who are former costars, are reportedly still good friends. They could reunite on the reality show.
With Harry missing home, maybe he will spend some time with fellow Brit James Corden, who is the host of The Late Late Show. Corden is said to be close to the pair, as he scored an invite to their royal wedding (and the ultra-exclusive private reception) back in 2018. Definitely likely to be on the show is one of Meghan's best friends, Serena Williams. The two met a decade ago at a Super Bowl event and have been close ever since, with Meghan spotted at Wimbledon multiple times to support her pal. Serena was also in attendance at the royal wedding and in 2019 even co-hosted Meghan's baby shower.
Some of their family could also make an appearance on the show. Meghan is extremely close to her mom Doria Ragland and the pair are often photographed together. Fans would likely see more of Doria in a reality show, as well as Harry and Meghan's one-year-old baby, Archie. Not all of the family is likely to be featured though, including her infamous father Thomas Markle, seeing as Meghan has publicly distanced herself from the rest of her own family, as has Prince Harry. Prince William and Kate probably won't make an appearance on the show either, after several sources reported a major falling out between the in-laws.
Jessica Mulroney is another close pal of Meghan Markle's, but sources say their relationship has taken a turn for the worse. The pair met in 2011 when Mulroney was working as a stylist on the set of Suits and the two were inseparable for years. Mulroney's twin sons were even pageboys at Meghan's royal wedding. In June, however, Jessica was called out by an influencer for displaying white privilege and then fired from Good Morning America. Since then, she and Meghan have been distant. That scandal means that fans likely won't see her on any of Harry and Meghan's shows.
Harry and Meghan's huge Netflix deal means people will see a lot more of these LA royals. The reality show could give an intimate look into the couple's personal lives in LA, as well as their many charitable projects.
