Meghan Markle's As Ever Show Has a Shaky Future After Netflix Reportedly Won't Renew Her & Harry's $100M Contract
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living a very different life since they stepped away from the British royal family in 2020. And a lot of that life has included making shows for Netflix. Their collaboration with the stream has produced With Love, Meghan, Polo, and a docuseries Harry & Meghan, with a second season of Markle's lifestyle show already filmed and set to debut later this year. But after that, will there be any more With Love, Meghan, or any other projects? The answer is uncertain after reports that the pair's Netflix deal won't be renewed when it expires in September. This is not believed to be a personal thing, but part of Netflix's strategy to move away from large, multi-project agreements. The streaming giant also ended their deal with Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. More from StyleCaster Trump Seemingly Disses Harry & Meghan After Reports Charles Is 'Very Concerned' About the President's Visit Prince Harry Visited His Secret 2nd 'Mom' After Reports He Was 'Devastated' Meghan Used Diana for a 'PR Push' Related: Here's what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth 'There's no animosity from either side,' a source told The Sun. 'Things have just run their course.' The end of their deal reportedly doesn't mean there won't be any future collaborations. '[Netflix is] not unhappy with how things turned out,' a source told the outlet, meaning there's always a chance for more. Particularly a show like With Love, Meghan, which is not that expensive or complicated to make. Other projects, however, might not be so fortunate. The couple had announced a couple of years ago that they were producing a film adaptation of Carley Fortune's romance novel, 'Meet Me at the Lake,' for Netflix. But they have yet to hire a director or anyone for the cast, so this production seems unlikely to happen at this point. 'By this point, you would have thought they would have got a director on board and a cast. So what is the delay?' Page Six reported from a Hollywood source. 'And when you make something for Netflix, it takes a long time for it to actually hit the streamer — there is so much to do in post production, to make sure it's ready for every country. If the deal is up this year, then when is this film going to be made?' The pair was also supposed to make a documentary set in Africa, but there's no information about whether that will get made or not, either. Chances are, it won't. 'What's the betting that neither of these projects will see the light of day?' a source told the outlet. 'Let's be honest … Netflix got what they really wanted out of the Sussexes — their documentary,' said the same source. All, however, might not be lost. Reports from Page Six also indicate the couple is set to sign a first-look deal with the streamer, which, although substantially different than the deal they had before, would make sure the collaboration continues. A source told the streamer, 'There are more TV projects coming soon with both the duke and duchess.' Markle is reportedly especially interested in the lifestyle space. 'As a growing business, As ever is continuing to explore growth opportunities that feel aligned with the brand's core values and quality standards,' said a source. 'The brand continues to evolve with new products that align with her vision for quality lifestyle goods at accessible price points.' And that might include even more TV shows.

Revealed: How Prince William supported women's football at crucial moment - and changed the game forever
A former Football Association (FA) boss has revealed the important role Prince William and Kate played in a crucial moment for women's football. Speaking on women's football podcast That's So Offside earlier this month, Kelly Simmons OBE recalled the astonishing moment the Prince of Wales helped change the nature of the game forever. Kelly, who began at the FA in 1991 before becoming Director Of The Women's Professional Game, had been hoping to secure some investment into the Women's Super League (WSL) from the 'all-male' board to move the game from semi-professional to professional. At the time, she explained, the FA was a 'very different organisation' and they 'couldn't really get anybody to believe in' the WSL. Speaking to hosts Cece Kane and Abby Dolbear, she said: 'In that room, of those people, nobody believed that anybody would want to watch it and it couldn't possibly be commercially viable. 'And so we went in for money and I'd already been told that they were going to say no, even though it was a good business case.' But just as she was about to enter the boardroom, the company secretary told her the patron, Prince William, would be there, attending his first board meeting. Kelly said: 'I thought, oh my god, humiliation! Not only am I going to get a custard pie, I'm going to get it in front of the future King of England!' Former FA Director Of The Women's Professional Game Kelly Simmons (pictured) has revealed the crucial role Prince William played in advancing women's football Kelly said she hoped the ground would 'swallow her up' as she went in and presented her pitch. But just before she was about to leave, Prince William had something to say. He said: 'Can I just say - I think this is absolutely fantastic. Kate and I are massively supportive of the women's game and we think this is absolutely brilliant.' Stunned, the chairman then decided to ask the room what they thought and, agreeing with the future King, everyone said it was 'fantastic'. Unable to believe her eyes, Kelly recalled: 'And out we walked with the money! 'Which enabled the WSL to really go to that next stage. A friend of mine on the board said they could hear my colleague and I squealing with laughter all the way down the corridor. 'We would never have got it without Prince William. I'm convinced it wouldn't have happened otherwise. 'We were cackling all the way down the corridor! We were extremely smug. So thank you, Prince William. He probably didn't realise what role he played.' Kelly explained that at the time, the FA was a 'very different organisation' and they 'couldn't really get anybody to believe in' the WSL One person commented: 'Love how prince William and Katherine support the WSL and got you what was needed.' Another added: 'What a fantastic story! William is a great man! Ahead of his time.' 'Prince William is doing a lot behind scenes and it's pity we don't know that part of his work. He's got my full support and respect,' said a third. Putting his summer break on hold, Prince William attended Sunday's final, watching the Lionesses beat Spain on penalties for a second consecutive victory in the European Championships. Joined by Princess Charlotte, 10, he was clearly invested in the game from the start and later handed out the medals to players on the podium. Back in 2023, the Prince of Wales turned down flying to Australia to watch England play Spain in the Women's World Cup final. It was understood that the flight was deemed too long for such a short period of time in attendance. The Lionesses went on to lose that game but the no-show was not a popular move. At the time, Ex-England goalkeeper Pauline Cope told Times Radio: 'I will not have any bad words against the royal family. However, this should have been pencilled in his [William's] diary from day dot, after we won the Euros and qualified for the World Cup. 'Let's be honest, if it was the men's World Cup, they would all be here.' Mandu Reid, the leader of the Women's Equality party, told the Daily Mail it was 'utterly ridiculous that England wasn't and still isn't prepared to celebrate the women's World Cup final.' And Piers Morgan tweeted: 'With respect, YRH (Your Royal Highness), you should have got on a plane. Ridiculous that the Queen of Spain is attending the World Cup final to support her nation's team, and you won't be there despite being president of the FA.' Prince William shared a video on social media instead, wishing the Lionesses luck and apologising for not attending alongside Princess Charlotte. 'Lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow, we're sorry we can't be there in person but we're so proud of everything you've achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world. 'So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.' Prince William and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, have been away from royal duties and spending time with their children, George, Charlotte and Louis - who are all on school holidays. This time around, progress of the Lionesses has been followed closely by Prince William since the start of the tournament. He watched their 4-0 group game win over the Dutch in Switzerland earlier in the competition. And he is familiar with the squad having spent time with them at their training camp at St George's Park prior to the Euros. During that visit, he said: 'The men's team could definitely learn off your camaraderie and your team environment. 'You're brilliant together, you create a very unique unit that is rare in lots of other sports. 'So hold onto that, treasure that, build on it, because it's one of your greatest assets.' Prince William has long been a lover of football - and is an avid supporter of Aston Villa. But William's love for 'The Villans' started long ago, and for a rather strange reason. The Prince of Wales explained to the BBC in 2015: 'A long time ago at school, I got into football, big time. I was looking around for a club to support, and all my friends at school were either Manchester United fans or Chelsea fans.' Determined not to follow a 'run-of-the-mill' team, William opted to support Aston Villa. In a recent interview with The Sun, the prince revealed he had a 'nice connection' with the club as they lifted the European Cup in 1982 - 'the year I was born'. 'I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table, that could give me the more emotional rollercoaster moments,' he explained. 'To be honest, now, looking back, that was a bad idea - I could have had an easier time!' William confirmed that family friends who were 'big Villa fans' took him to one of his first FA cup games at the age of 17. It was the semi-final between the Bolton Wanderers versus Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium on April 2, 2000 - a match that certainly would have set the prince's heart racing. The agonisingly close game went into penalties when Aston Villa thankfully emerged triumphant, winning 4-1. 'It was fantastic,' the prince recalled. 'I sat with all the fans with my red beanie on, and I was sat with all the Brummie fans and had a great time. It was the atmosphere, the camaraderie, and I really felt that there was something I could connect with.' Although Villa did not go on to win the FA cup that year, William was not put off. 'I kept an eye on Villa from then on but didn't get too involved initially,' he told The Sun. 'But Villa being relegated to the Championship in 2016 got me even more interested, strangely.' Since, Prince William has been a regular if anonymous contributor to online discussion sites. One of the eight Villa supporters to meet the prince at Wetherspoon's in Birmingham, Steve Jones revealed: 'He said he keeps abreast of Villa gossip because he is on all the fans' forums. 'He goes under different names and he posts on there because that's how he gets the feeling of what's going on and what's the opinion.' William's favourite villa player? Paul McGrath - a stalwart defender nicknamed 'God' who played for Villa between 1989 and 1996. The Prince of Wales, who now lives between Kensington Palace in London and Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, admitted that getting to Villa Park 'isn't the easiest thing for me'. But he tries his best to attend all the Champions League game - often with childhood friend Thomas Van Straubenzee as well as William and Edward Van Cutsem. Meanwhile Prince George has fulfilled William's dream that he would one day be able to share his passion for the club with one of his children. 'He can support who he wants, but if he supports Villa that would be fantastic,' the prince told Gary Lineker in 2015, when George was just two years old. As Mike Tindall, the former England rugby international who is married to King Charles's niece Zara, confirmed last year, that mission has been accomplished, and this year William has been joined by his eldest son at several games. 'George loves his football,' said Tindall. 'He's passionate about Aston Villa, too. Wherever he is, he'll sit down and watch that game.' Like father, like son.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... One week since his death, tributes continue to flood in for the late Ozzy Osbourne. But many have started petitions looking for more 'permanent' tributes fitting for the Prince of Darkness. Here are some of those petitions on that took our interest, a day before Ozzy's public funeral procession takes place. It's been a week since the music world lost one of its most iconic figures – Ozzy Osbourne. Not two weeks after his celebrated final live performance at Villa Park with Back to the Beginning, 'the Prince of Darkness' died on July 22, surrounded by family and friends, with the musical world still reeling from the news. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad With Osbourne's funeral procession set to take place this week (July 30) and hundreds expected to converge on Birmingham to pay their final farewells to the singer, a number of petitions have been launched moments after the news was announced - calling for tributes to the memory of Birmingham's favourite son. We've taken a look at and pulled some of those petitions that have generated a lot of signatures so far, and a few ideas that – although unconventional – capture the frenetic, wild spirit of the beloved Black Sabbath frontman. The tributes people want to see to Ozzy Osbourne - according to One week on from Ozzy Osbourne's death, fans have taken to to reveal what they think would be fitting tributes to the late Prince of Darkness. | Getty Images/Canva Ozzy Osbourne International Airport (46,544 signatures) In a monumental effort to honour the Godfather of Heavy Metal, a petition to rename Birmingham's international hub the "Ozzy Osbourne International Airport" has rapidly amassed an astonishing 46,544 signatures. Supporters passionately argue that no other figure has so indelibly placed Birmingham on the global cultural map, making this a fitting and grand tribute to the city's most iconic musical export. The sheer volume of support underscores a powerful desire for a permanent, visible monument to the man who truly put the "heavy" in metal. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad If Liverpool can have the Liverpool John Lennon Airport, why can't Birmingham have the Ozzy Osbourne equivalent too? July 22 to become Ozzy Osbourne Day (7,991 signatures) To transform a day of sorrow into an annual celebration, nearly 8,000 signatories (7,991, to be precise) are campaigning for July 22nd to be officially designated "Ozzy Osbourne Day." This heartfelt initiative aims to establish a yearly commemoration of his extraordinary life, revolutionary music, and undeniable impact on generations of artists and fans worldwide. It's a testament to his enduring spirit, proposing that his passing become a fixed point of remembrance and appreciation for all he gave to the world. Ozzy statute outside Birmingham Children's Hospital (1,125 signatures) A more intimate, yet deeply meaningful, tribute gaining traction is the petition for an Ozzy statue to be erected outside Birmingham Children's Hospital. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ozzy's son, Louis, was treated at Birmingham Children's Hospital as a child, an experience Ozzy has publicly stated he "will always remember" due to the excellent care provided by the staff. This personal connection seems to have been a strong motivator for his ongoing support. Most recently, Black Sabbath's "Back to the Beginning" farewell concert at Villa Park, which featured Ozzy's final public performance, chose Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity as one of its primary beneficiaries. This event is reported to have raised a massive amount of money for the charities involved (alongside Cure Parkinson's and Acorns Children's Hospice). With 1,125 signatures and growing, this proposal seeks to honour his connection to his hometown in a profound way, commemorating his legacy not just through his music but through a lasting presence in a place dedicated to care and community, reflecting a quieter, perhaps less public, facet of the beloved star. Rename the Download Festival main stage the 'Ozzy Osbourne Stage' (271 signatures) For the legions of metalheads who gather annually, a spirited campaign is underway to rename the main stage at the UK's iconic Download Festival the 'Ozzy Osbourne Stage'. Ozzy has performed at Download Festival four times (2005, 2012, 2016 and 2018), but his links to the festival and Donington Park go further back; Ozzfest was held at the location in 2002, often cited as a precursor to Live Nation launching Download Festival annually, while back during the era of Monster's of Rock, Ozzy performed in 1997 with Black Sabbath and his first solo appearance at the location back in 1984. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Currently holding 271 signatures, this petition aims to enshrine his name at the very heart of the heavy metal experience, at an event that directly celebrates the genre he pioneered and dominated. It's a call to acknowledge his foundational role in the festival's very existence. Chipotle to make a 'Ozzy Burrito' (5,075 signatures) Perhaps the most unconventional, yet undeniably endearing, tribute is the push for Chipotle to create an 'Ozzy Burrito'. With over 5,000 fans (5,075 signatures) rallying behind it, this petition taps into Ozzy's famously unique personality and documented love for the fast-casual chain - as seen in the classic episodes of The Osbournes. It's a light-hearted but deeply personal way to honour the eccentric charm that made him a household name far beyond his musical prowess, demonstrating the multifaceted connection fans felt with the Prince of Darkness.
