Harry and Meghan sign reduced deal with Netflix
The estranged British royal and his wife have worked with Netflix since 2020, producing documentary "Harry & Meghan" and lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan." The latter showcased the Duchess of Sussex as a thriving domestic maven, hosting guests, harvesting honey and mixing bath salts against an idyllic California backdrop. It has been extended for a second season, and a holiday special due in December, Netflix said. But while the pair's previous Netflix deal bought the streamer exclusive rights to their output, the new multi-year agreement is a "first look deal" In Hollywood parlance, this means Netflix has the right to say yes or no to a project before Harry and Meghan's media company Archewell Productions can shop it around other studios. Typically, first-look deals are less lucrative than exclusive deals, though they also provide producers with more flexibility. "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the 'As ever' brand," said Meghan, referring to her recently re-branded line of lifestyle products including rose wine and apricot spreads. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, described Harry and Meghan as "influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere," in the statement. Harry and Meghan wed in a fairytale ceremony in 2018, before splitting from the British royal family and moving to California two years later. Cut off from the royal purse, the pair signed their first Netflix deal in 2020 for a reported $100 million. That figure was never confirmed, and no financial terms have been revealed for the extension. The New York Times reported Monday that the new deal is worth less for Harry and Meghan than the previous agreement, citing a person familiar with the terms. "Harry & Meghan," a six-episode tell-all about their relationship and exit from the House of Windsor, drew 23 million views in its first four days -- a record for a Netflix documentary. Despite withering reviews from critics, "With Love, Meghan" had over five million views in the first half of 2025, making it Netflix's most-watched cooking show. The upcoming holiday special will feature Meghan hosting "friends and family" as they "deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs," the statement promised. Later this year, Netflix will release a short documentary from Archewell Productions about a small orphanage in Uganda.

Emma Thompson shares ‘stalking' story of Donald Trump asking her out
British actress and national treasure Emma Thompson was at the 78th edition of the Locarno International Film Festival this weekend to receive the Leopard Club Award prize at the Swiss festival. During her talk on Saturday, the Oscar-winning Sense And Sensibility and Love Actually actress reflected on the time when Donald Trump asked her to go out for dinner and joked how she could have 'changed the course of American history.' The moment happened while she was filming the 1998 political comedy Primary Colors – which was loosely based on Bill Clinton's 1992 presidental campaign. Thompson shared that she received a call from Trump on the same day her divorce from her first husband, fellow actor Kenneth Branagh, was confirmed. 'It was Donald Trump,' Thompson told the audience. 'He said: 'Hello, this is Donald Trump.' I thought it was a joke and asked: 'How can I help you?' Maybe he needed directions from someone.' 'Then he said: 'I'd love you to come and stay at one of my beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner.' I said: 'Well, that's very sweet. Thank you so much. I'll get back to you.'' At the time, Trump had just split from his second wife, Marla Maples. Tompson went on to share: 'I realised that on that very day my divorce had finally come through. I bet he has people looking all over for suitable people he could take out, for all these nice divorcees - I mean, he found the number of my trailer! That's stalking!' She added: 'So yes, I could have gone on a date with Donald Trump. I could have changed the course of American history!' This is not the first time that Thompson has shared the anecdote. In 2017, she told Swedish TV host Fredrik Skavlan: 'I didn't know what to do with myself. I was on my own and I just said: 'OK, well I'll get back to you! Thank you so much for ringing.'' Skavlan joked: 'You could be the First Lady. You could have stopped him!' Check out footage of the interview above. Not that the talk in Locarno was exclusively about this headline-grabbing moment – and its implications. The talk covered Thompson's career, and lingered on one of her most famous roles: Karen in Richard Curtis' Christmas romcom Love Actually (2003). Reflecting on the film's popularity, she said: 'I mean, it's honestly a constant source of astonishment to me that that film lasted – not that I don't like the film. I like it very much, but it's weird.' It is weird – and a source of much debate in the Euronews Culture office. Two years ago, we celebrated the film's 20th anniversary by debating whether the classic was a 'charming Christmas-themed Canterbury Tales' or 'infuriating turtleneck porn about a moron who doesn't back up his novel'. You can read our Pro-Con thoughts here. The Locarno Film Festival kicked off on 6 August and lasts until 16 August 2025.

Thieves steal $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls from California store
A gang of masked burglars has stolen roughly $7,000 (€6,010) worth of Labubu dolls from a toy store in California – the latest sign of just how wild the global craze for the collectible figures has become. The break-in happened around 1:29 a.m. on Wednesday 6 August at One Stop Sales, a shop in La Puente, just east of Los Angeles, known for stocking the hugely popular dolls. Surveillance footage posted online shows at least four people in hoodies and face coverings smashing their way into the store, rifling through shelves, and carrying out box after box of merchandise. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the group used a stolen white Toyota Tacoma to flee the scene. The truck was later recovered, but the suspects remain on the run. A post shared by One Stop Sales (@onestopsaless) 'We are still in shock,' the store posted on Instagram, alongside footage of the incident and images showing shattered glass and trashed displays. "We worked so hard to get to this point, [only] for them just to come in and like nothing take it all away," co-owner Joanna Avendano told local ABC affiliate KABC-TV. The burglars made off with the shop's entire Labubu inventory – and given the dolls' exploding popularity, that's no small loss. Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, Labubu's creepy-cute characters first launched in 2015 and have since become a global obsession. Originally retailing for about $30 (€25,75) , the dolls now sell for hundreds – even thousands – on the resale market. Pop Mart, the Chinese toy giant behind Labubu, reported a whopping $1.8 billion (€1.55 billion) in revenue in 2024, more than double the previous year. The dolls have found fans among A-listers like Rihanna, Lizzo and BLACKPINK's Lisa, and scenes of fans queuing around the block at Labubu pop-ups are now a regular feature on social media.
