Prince Harry ‘can count on a record deal’ for ‘Spare’ film rights: report
spare change.Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle are reportedly “hopeful” they can sell the film rights to the Duke of Sussex’s popular memoir “Spare.”Markle, 41, and Harry, 38, “are in a win-win position,” a “senior source” told the Daily Express.“He will command a top-dollar fee for the rights, while involving [their foundation] Archewell would mean a more lucrative ‘double dip,’ ” the insider is quoted as saying.Netflix is considered a top contender for the rights, as Harry and Markle, a former actress, in 2020 signed a multi-year deal with the media giant that’s estimated to be worth $100 million.The couple released their docuseries “Harry & Meghan” last year, detailing their fateful introduction in 2016, their wedding in 2018, and their move to Montecito, California, in 2020.The streaming service could be angling to amp up its royal content as the hit series “The Crown” wraps up its sixth and final season later this year.“Given the success of ‘Spare’ and Harry’s cachet, he can count on a record or near-record deal,” the source added to the Daily Express. The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps and Netflix for comment.
