A royal commentator has said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "need to start singing for their supper" after they announced that they will be producing two new non-fiction series as a part of their deal with Netflix.
Meghan's Netflix series will "celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship", whilst Prince Harry will delve into the behind-the-scenes world of professional polo, and discover "what it takes to compete in the sport at the highest level".
Discussing the new documentaries on GB News, Michael Cole said: "Prince Harry and his lovely wife are going to have to start singing for their supper. They've got a five-year contract worth $100million with Netflix.
"Netflix wants their pound of flesh. So she's going to be doing a lifestyle and cookery streaming service.

GETTY"He's going to do a program all about polo. Not water polo, but polo with ponies on horseback, except for ocean-going racing in yachts which was once described as standing under a cold shower, ripping up £550 notes, must be the most expensive sport and hobby in the world."
Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, will have a star-studded lineup on their team, including Leah Hariton as showrunner alongside Michael Steed.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The Duchess of Sussex and Chanel Pysnik will serve as executive producers for Archewell Productions alongside Hariton, Aaron Saidman, and Eli Holzman.
It comes after Meghan launched her new business venture American Riviera Orchard last month.
Meghan also teased big new projects for 2024 when she appeared on the red carpet at the Variety Gala last November.
The duchess said: "We have so many exciting things on the slate. I can't wait until we can announce them, but I'm just really proud of what we're creating. My husband is loving it too which is fun."
