As reported by the British Press Association, Sarandos was asked if he’d be interested in working with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and his answer was a simple one: “Who wouldn’t be interested? Yes, sure.” If the couple are indeed able to snag a deal comparable to the Obamas’, it could be worth around $50 million, as per the rumored value of the Obama/Netflix production deal. It would also be in line with reports that the couple are said to admire the Obamas’ post-White-House career trajectory, which their split from their royal duties would put them in a position to emulate. And according to a recent report from the Daily Mail, they’ve been getting advice directly from the Obamas on how best to navigate the transition from public to private life. Such a lucrative contract with Netflix may come at a good time for Harry and Meghan, since the terms of their separation from the royal family will reportedly include a $3 million payment for refurbishments to their Frogmore Cottage residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle — where they’ll also have to start paying rent if they want to keep living there. Whether Sarandos will actually go on to close a deal with the soon-to-be-former royal couple remains to be seen, as of course are the possible financial details of such a deal.
