Meghan Markle smiles as she leaves lunch despite fears her Netflix deal will be axed

THE Duchess of Sussex is all smiles as she leaves a lunch — despite fears her Netflix deal will be canned.

Meghan, 42, wore an oversized brown coat in Beverly Hills as she met with Clare Waight Keller, who designed her silk wedding gown in 2018.

The Sun on Sunday has been told that Harry and Meghan’s superagent Ari Emanuel is searching for new deals for the pair.

Their £80million Netflix deal will wind to an end next year after just two streaming projects.

A source said: “Ari is actively holding meetings with TV companies.

“His strength is signing huge deals for significant sums of cash.”

Their much-heralded streaming deal now hangs in the balance, a series of PR disasters have hit their reputation overseas, and a mass exodus of staff has led to a "revolving door" of executives attempting to salvage a PR strategy dubbed "catastrophic" by industry insiders.

In a shock move this week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared to sideline the Archewell brand - named after their four-year-old son, Archie - and relaunched their website under the name Sussex.com.

The new domain comes with slick bios entitled Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, which crow about their philanthropic achievements and awards, including being named in the list of TIME Magazine’s Most Influential People. 

It also resurrects their rarely-seen royal coat of arms, which was first revealed after their 2018 wedding and has been little used since.
