The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s appearance alongside the Paramount CEO looks to be a public warning shot to Netflix.
Meghan and Harry signed a lucrative deal with Netflix after they stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020.
The couple have produced two documentaries for the platform, Harry & Meghan which was a huge streaming success and Heart of Invictus which failed to reach the same heights as their debut project.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s appearance at a rival streaming giants’ premiere looks to be a warning to Netflix that Meghan and Harry will not be short of offers as a decision on whether to renew their contract looms.
The Sussexes are reportedly working on several projects for the platform but none have been given a release date or promoted publicly.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams criticised the couple’s lack of output during an interview with GB News.
Fitzwilliams told GB News: “They can turn it around if they come up with some work.

“The only thing they are doing as far as I can see with Invictus, Prince Harry already had that.
“So they have not done anything, they lost Spotify. Will they lose Netflix? The contract runs out in 2025.”
He added: “It is rather bewildering their silence.”
