Meghan Markle is reportedly making ongoing efforts to stay connected with Netflix leadership, months after her and Prince Harry’s high-profile deal with the streaming giant came to an end.
According to multiple reports, the Duchess of Sussex has been reaching out through personal gestures—including handwritten notes, flowers, and jars from her lifestyle brand As Ever—sent to Ted Sarandos and his wife Nicole Avant.
Public Appearances Add to Speculation
The outreach reportedly didn’t stop at gifts. Meghan was also seen spending time with the couple at a recent event in California, fueling speculation that she may be trying to maintain a positive relationship with Netflix executives despite the deal’s conclusion.
The couple’s original agreement with Netflix, once valued at millions, had drawn global attention, producing projects such as documentaries and scripted content under their Archewell Productions banner.
Insiders Claim Strategy May Be Backfiring
However, not everyone appears to be impressed with the approach. An insider quoted in reports suggested that Netflix executives may not be responding as intended.
“To some, it comes off as too much—and honestly, it’s not working,” the source claimed, adding that the repeated gestures are becoming “annoying.”
Another source described the outreach as persistent, saying it involves “constant” communication through cards, gifts, and highly personal messages.
Meghan’s Perspective on Relationship-Building
Despite the reported reaction, Meghan is said to believe her efforts are necessary. According to insiders, she views these gestures as a way to rebuild and secure professional relationships in a competitive entertainment industry.
“In her mind, this is how you repair—and secure—a relationship,” a source explained.
What This Means Moving Forward
While it remains unclear whether these efforts will lead to renewed collaborations, the situation highlights the challenges of maintaining high-profile partnerships after major deals conclude.
For now, the reported disconnect between intention and reception suggests that even in Hollywood, relationship-building strategies don’t always land as planned.
