Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have begun to "develop a relationship" with broadcasting giants Paramount, it has been claimed.
Showbiz and royal reporter Kinsey Schofield has said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to secure a deal with the company after some of their Netflix projects were dropped.
Following the success of their behind-the-scenes Netflix documentary series, reports claim that the couple are set to release more projects, despite reports of a waning relationship with the streaming company.
Speaking at a recent Netflix event, Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria revealed Harry and Meghan are working on "a couple of unscripted things" as well as a "movie and a TV show".

Bajaria told reporters: "They actually have a bunch of development - all very early development, with a movie, a TV show and a couple of unscripted shows. But yeah, the movie’s great."
The Duke and Duchess have also released an interview series, Live To Lead, and Prince Harry’s Heart of Invictus documentary on Netflix.
Speaking to GBN America, Kinsey Schofield told host Patrick Christys that there was a "connection" between Harry's recent visit to Las Vegas to present an award at the 13th Annual NFL Honours.
Schofield revealed the show was "streamed on Paramount Plus", who's CEO Brian Robbins was also at the premiere of the Bob Marley biopic and pictured with Harry and Meghan.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Schofield revealed: "Prince Harry all of the sudden shows up at the NFL Honours event to give, ironically, the award for Man of the Year, which he knows nothing about.
"But the NFL Honours award show is streamed on Paramount Plus, and we just saw Harry and Meghan on the CEO of Paramount's private jet going to Jamaica and back for the Bob Marley movie premiere, produced by Paramount.
Schofield claimed: "So I do believe that what we're seeing is a real relationship developing between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Paramount.
"Whether that be for safety, maybe it's back up, because there's so much gossip about what's going to happen to their Netflix relationship in 2025."

Detailing the royal couple's previous Netflix success, Schofield said there are "three projects on the horizon", but whether they can successfully execute those in a timely manner is "highly questionable", claiming it took them "two years to produce" the last project.
She added: "The only commercial success they've had with Netflix, which is the Harry and Meghan documentary, went through multiple production teams to produce that, and there's a huge countdown on their Netflix contract that ends in 2025.
"Can they finish these three projects that are on the horizon? And if they fail, are they going to jump ship and head to Paramount, which is another competing streaming platform?
"It's amazing that Paramount would really want them with their track record, isn't it?"
