Meghan’s Business Takes Another Major Hit After ‘Slap in the Face’ From Netflix
Jason Pham
The hits keep on coming for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s finances. Fans have noticed that the Duchess of Sussex has quietly deactivated her ShopMy Instagram page, which previously allowed her to earn commission through affiliate links directing users to clothing items she’s worn.
Meghan launched her ShopMy page in March 2025 timed to the premiere of the first season of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. However, less than a week after the premiere of the second season in August 2025, users discovered that Meghan’s collection of favorites had been removed from the account, leaving the page blank. “This curator has not yet added any collections,” the page now reads.

Meghan previously described the account as “a handpicked and curated collection of the things I love,” and noted that she was eligible to make commissions from any purchases made on the platform.
News of Meghan’s Instagram shop closing comes after royal expert Richard Eden told The Daily Mail that Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix deal—which is their second contract with the streaming company after their $100 million agreement in 2020—is a “slap in the face” compared to their first.
“I mean what Harry would want would be another deal he can boast to Oprah Winfrey about how much it’s worth — but it’s clear that’s not coming,” Eden said. “Let’s deal with the facts. Harry himself, in his interview with Oprah Winfrey, talked about how he needed money and he needed it quickly because of security and money being cut off from his father.”
Eden continued, “He said, ‘We sign these deals with Spotify and Netflix,’ clearly implying that they were worth a fortune. This is none of a kind from everything I have heard. It is just a first-look deal, so the only money they will receive is if the programmes are commissioned.”

Eden went on to add about how much of a “downgrade” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix deal is compared to their first. “By all accounts, it is a big downgrade,” Eden said. “It remains to be seen how much money they make from it.”
A spokesperson for Meghan and Harry confirmed to Express that the couple received an upfront fee from Netflix but declined to share the exact amount, citing “commercially confidential contractual agreements.”
