Industry insiders suggested the decision to part ways was natural. “There’s no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course,” a source told The Sun.
Online reactions to the announcement
News of Netflix stepping away from the brand triggered mixed responses online, with social media users offering different interpretations.
Some believed the move would benefit Markle and give her greater independence. “It means she can go global with her products. She is a savvy businesswoman,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “She’s now gonna be the captain of the ship. She can take the brand where she wants to take it.”
Others felt the streaming company had already gained what it needed from the partnership.
“Netflix finally seeing sense,” one person commented, while another questioned the longevity of the agreement.
“I think the bigger question is why there was still a deal on the table after all the flops with their documentary and the cooking show.”
Some viewers also criticized the couple’s later productions. “The ratings were in the toilet, and that’s exactly why they cut ties,” another user claimed.
