A person with knowledge of their plans tells <em>THR<\/em> the couple had such a \u201cwonderful trip\u201d overseas this summer with family and friends, they decided to extend their stay \u2014 it stands to reason they will remain on that side of the pond for at least a full school year. Harry and Meghan have no plans to pick back up senior royal duties and titles, and will reside in a private residence.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHarry and Meghan (<em>Fringe<\/em>, 2008\u2019s <em>90210<\/em>), also known the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, signed a rich overall deal with Netflix in September 2020, eight months after the couple announced they would\u00a0\u201cstep back\u201d\u00a0as senior members of the British royal family. The deal was widely reported to be in the $100 million range. The couple moved to Montecito, California \u2014 about 80 miles north of Los Angeles \u2014 the same year. And then they got to work.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe duo produced a slate for Netflix \u2014 <em>Polo<\/em>, <em>Holiday Celebration<\/em>, <em>Heart of Invictus<\/em>, <em>Harry &amp; Meghan<\/em>, <em>Live to Lead<\/em>, <em>Masaka Kids<\/em>, <em>A Rhythm Within<\/em> and two seasons of <em>With Love, Meghan<\/em> \u2014 though really, only their documentary about themselves, <em>Harry &amp; Meghan<\/em>, performed well for the streamer. An animated children\u2019s series, <em>Pearl<\/em>, was canceled before production began.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHarry and Meghan\u2019s Archewell Productions, named after their son (their daughter was born in 2021), remains in active development on several projects at Netflix, including the feature-length adaptation of Carley Fortune\u2019s <em>Meet Me at the Lake<\/em> novel. Archewell maintains an office at Netflix\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA year ago, Netflix downgraded the overall deal to a first-look one. Netflix called it an \u201cextension,\u201d which also made the streamer a business partner to Markle\u2019s lifestyle brand, As Ever, which among its products sells $64 scented candles. That brand partnership lasted seven months.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cMeghan\u2019s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life,\u201d Netflix said at the time. \u201cAs it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=5690\">How \u2018Fallout\u2019 Made 120-Pound Power Armor Look Effortless<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tNetflix declined to comment on this story. As Ever, now fully owned by Markle, continues operations in the U.S. as usual.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tArchewell\u2019s <em>Cookie Queens<\/em> documentary is currently in theaters and is \u201cCertified Fresh\u201d on Rotten Tomatoes \u2014 it\u2019s also is the top grossing non-celebrity documentary theatrical release of 2026 ($570,000 in 11 days as of this writing). The movie has a deal in place with a \u201cmajor streaming service\u201d that is <em>not<\/em> Netflix for its coming SVOD\/AVOD window, our source says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe business-as-usual case: Hollywood has never been less centered in and around literal Hollywood. Therefore, a move to London does not automatically squash entertainment ambitions. Netflix is a very global organization, which allows Archewell to be as well. Plus, the last show Markle appeared on was even further from L.A.: she had a ball doing <em>MasterChef: Australia<\/em>, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tArchewell has also been involved in the podcast genre, though to a lesser degree.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMarkle previously hosted the podcast <em>Archetypes <\/em>for Spotify, as part of what was meant to be a multiyear exclusive deal with the audio company. However, the show, which included guests such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey and Mindy Kaling, was not renewed for a second season and the partnership was dissolved in 2023 with sources telling <em>THR<\/em> the reason was due to Archewell\u2019s low content output. The eight-episode season of <em>Archetypes <\/em>and a holiday special released in December 2020, were the only pieces of content out of the partnership.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn 2024, Lemonada Media took over wide-platform distribution for the 12 episodes of <em>Archetypes<\/em> and also signed Markle to host new content, including launching the podcast <em>Confessions of a Female Founder,<\/em> an eight-episode series. On the Aspire with Emme Grede podcast in June 2025, Markle said there would not be a second season and she was pivoting to focus on her lifestyle brand. Lemonada Media did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what remains of the partnership, but Markle is still prominently listed on the company\u2019s site.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=5688\">Apple Music to Launch Labels on AI Tracks Later This Year<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Caitlin Huston contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are leaving California \u2014 but are they leaving Hollywood?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3067,2,3069,65,2752,222,2341],"class_list":["post-5694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-archewell-productions","tag-international","tag-meghan-markle","tag-netflix","tag-podcast-industry","tag-podcasts","tag-prince-harry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Harry and Meghan Are Leaving California \u2014 But Are They Leaving Hollywood?
