The Sussexes leave behind a trail of Netflix documentaries, a Spotify podcast and jam. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a reported $100 million deal with Netflix for documentaries, docuseries, and scripted content. Their first project, "Harry & Meghan," became Netflix's most-watched documentary premiere.

A multi-year Spotify partnership produced "Archetypes," a podcast series hosted by Meghan that ran for one season before the $20 million deal ended in 2023. In 2024, Meghan launched American Riviera Orchard, a lifestyle brand debuting with strawberry jam sent to influencers. The couple's production company, Archewell Productions, continues developing content despite mixed commercial results and public scrutiny over their media strategy.

Industry analysts note the ventures reflect a broader trend of celebrities building direct-to-consumer media empires, though the Sussexes' royal connection adds unique pressure and visibility to each launch.
