The bombshell claims were reported by Variety who allege "the Sussexes' perceived pattern of selling repackaged versions of the same story about their exit from royal life has exhausted Netflix."
The magazine continued: "Their partnership may continue to taper off, and with it will Meghan and Harry's remaining showbusiness lifeline."
It quotes a source as saying: "The mood in the building is 'We're done.'"

Meghan's style and approach to business deals has also been explored in the report — and the ex-Suits star does not come out of it well.
The publication states: "In virtual and in person meetings with partners, she tends to talk over or recast Prince Harry's thoughts, sometimes while he is in mid-sentence, sources say (usually preceded by a touch to the arm or thigh)."

The magazine says that after her second series of With Love, Meghan "cratered", sources told them that "Netflix was losing faith in the former royals."
It concludes: "After half a decade of inconsistent shows, strategic shifts, false starts and a diminished hold on the popular imagination, are the Sussexes really living the Hollywood dream they imagined?"
The revelations come less than a fortnight after it emerged Netflix was parting ways with Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever.
