Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to shine brighter than ever, according to a Netflix spokesperson, dispelling any whispers of turbulence within their partnership.
Despite the swirling rumors, the streaming titan is reiterating the strength of its ongoing collaboration with the Sussexes' production company.
"The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value. Harry & Meghan launched as Netflix’s most spectacular documentary debut to date. Our exciting journey with them isn't ending anytime soon. We're currently collaborating on numerous projects, including the much-anticipated documentary series Heart of Invictus," the spokesperson told ET.

Their docuseries Harry & Meghan, released at the tail end of 2022, smashed global records, making it an instant sensation. Despite this phenomenal success, there were murmurings about Netflix pressing the couple to bring forth more projects to secure the rest of their deal.
The next offering on the horizon is Harry's Heart of Invictus, slated for an August premiere.

A spokesperson relayed to HELLO!, "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."
Despite the curtain call on her Spotify venture, Meghan has fond reflections. "I loved delving into the creative process, investing late nights in bed working on the writing and creative aspects. I relished in having deep, meaningful conversations with my diverse and inspiring guests, sharing laughter and lessons. It has been such a labor of love," she shared on the Archewell website.

Surprisingly, the award-winning podcast, which clinched the Top Podcast accolade at the People's Choice Awards in December, will not return for another season.
But Meghan sounded hopeful in the concluding episode, declaring: "We're working on other ways to keep the conversation going, but as we close out this season of Archetypes, I thank you. Thank you for listening and learning with me. This has been liberating, healing, and it's been fun."
