In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry is releasing a new Invictus Games documentary on Disney’s Hulu, despite his five-year deal with Netflix. The documentary features the Duke of Sussex talking about his love for the Games and his family.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s relationship with Netflix has reportedly been turbulent, particularly over funding. The couple hasn’t delivered many projects with the streaming giant, just their hit documentaries and a film about the Invictus games. However, they reportedly have several projects in the works, including a film adaptation of a romance novel.
Prince Harry’s New Documentary Debuts On Hulu

Harry released a new documentary on Hulu, in which he talks about the Invictus Games, his passion project, and the royal family. The documentary is titled “Prince Harry’s Mission: Life, Family, and the Invictus Games.” It was compiled from several interviews Harry gave to ABC during his recent visit to Canada.
Harry traveled with Meghan to Whistler, Canada, to prepare for the 2025 Invictus Games. This included his interview on “Good Morning America” earlier this February, where he talked about traveling to the UK to see his father, King Charles III, after his diagnosis the cancer.
Amidst the release, sources at Netflix spoke to Every day Mail and expressed surprise at the news. This is because Harry and Meghan are currently under a $100 million contract with the streaming giant.
A senior TV news producer further said the broadcast could not have been a mistake, as Harry had to sign a release form for interviews and documentaries.
Its Relationship With Netflix Has Been Effective

Harry and Meghan’s relationship with Netflix has been a controversial topic, with many saying it was inevitable. This was heightened when the couple launched their new Sussex website, which included details of their various businesses and charitable endeavors but failed to mention Netflix under the section for Archewell productions.
Sources told Daily Mail that there was dissatisfaction with the deal, both on Harry and Meghan’s part and on the part of Netflix executives. At the time of signing in late 2020, reports claimed the deal was worth $100 million, but this has been debated recently.
Funding for Harry and Meghan’s project with Netflix is also a hot topic, as rumors say the company is only covering overhead costs. This is reportedly only about $3 million, and any additional income for the couple depends on them delivering a successful project.

Since the deal began, Harry and Meghan have not released many projects on Netflix. So far, they have included their hit documentary “Harry & Meghan” and the movie “Heart of Invictus.”
However, they have teased several projects in the works, including a film adaptation of the popular romance novel “Meet Me At The Lake.”
Harry and Meghan are also working on a TV show, which is still untitled, and another documentary. The second documentary was teased by Netflix executive Bela Bajaria, who said it was in the “early early stages” of development.
So far, there are claims that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only got about $20 million from Netflix for their project, which is minimal compared to the alleged value of the deal. One source even called the Sussexes’ Netflix deal a “dead duck.”

The Hulu documentary includes Harry’s recent interview with Will Reeve for ABC News. Meanwhile, Harry spoke about his quick trip to the UK to see his father, King Charles, after he heard the news of his cancer diagnosis.
He said, “I jumped on a plane and went to see him as soon as possible. Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go see him and spend time with him, I’m grateful for that.”
Harry didn’t say much about the diagnosis but added that he plans to see his father again soon. The Duke said: “I’ve got another trip planned which will take me through the UK or back to the UK, so I’ll stop by and see my family as much as I can.”
During the interview, Harry was also asked about Charles’ illness bringing the royal family closer together. He responded positively and said he saw how “any illness, any disease, brings families together,” in the case of the Invictus athletes he has worked with.
