Meghan Markle latest – Prince Harry & Meg's 'PERPLEXING' content could be contributing to Netflix's 'market devaluation'
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle's 'perplexing' content could be contributing to Netflix's recent 'market devaluation, according to expert.
Professor Cele Otnes, a marketing expert specialising in how the Royal Family brands itself, suggested the content the Duke and Duchess are generating for the streaming giant lacks originality.
The reason for the 'disinteresting' content is because viewers will likely already be familiar with the events before the documentary is released.
Professor Otnes told Express she was “perplexed” by the filming of well-reported events to be rehashed in new documentaries.
She said: “I'm perplexed why we are seeing the events in real life (e.g, at the Invictus ceremonies last year), and why there is any ‘content value’ to seeing these edited again in Netflix shows.
“For example, we often don't view the fights or content on the Kardashian programs prior to them airing; we only hear about them.
“I'm not sure how much inherent value Harry and Meghan are bringing to Netflix; there is some discussion that they are in fact contributing to the disinterest in, and market devaluation, of Netflix."

Charles "did not want to meet" with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
PRINCE Charles "did not want to meet" with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during their secret visit to Windsor Castle, claims a royal expert.
Royal expert Robert Jobson slammed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on GB News, and told presenter Dan Wootton: "I think the meeting with the Prince of Wales was a three line whip.
"Charles was not particularly happy about doing it and he only agreed to do the meeting if nothing was said about him whatsoever on American TV."
Mr Jobson continued: "Prince Charles has reached the end of his tether, they haven't been in contact and had they have started blurting about that meeting, that would have been the end of it.
"He [Harry] turned up late for that meeting.
"All families have problems, but you don't go blurting off to your next door neighbour as soon as you've had a meeting.
"Prince Charles thought if these conversations are out in public then I'm not putting up with it and he's drinking at the last chance saloon."

PRINCE Harry left William seething by blindsiding and insulting the Queen when he quit royal life, an expert claimed.
The Duke of Sussex's list of demands for a part-time, commercial-royal future was seen as disrespectful to Her Majesty, Robert Jobson added.
And Prince William was most upset by Harry and Meghan Markle's surprise launch of the Sussex Royal website, featuring the wish list, the Mail On Sunday reported.
After the Queen ruled they could not use the word "Royal", the couple wrote on the site: "While there is not any jurisdiction by the Monarchy over the use of the word “Royal” overseas, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use “Sussex Royal” or Royal”.’
A source close to William told Mr Jobson: "That was it for William.
"He felt they'd blindsided the Queen in such an insulting and disrespectful way."

Sussexes US neighbours are ‘bristling & say couple aren’t part of community’
PRINCE Harry and Markle Meghan's US neighbours say the couple "haven't become part of the community" , despite the duke claiming they have been "welcomed with open arms".
The Sussexes splashed out £11.5million on a beautiful mansion in the Montecito neighbourhood of Santa Barbara, California, months after announcing they were stepping back as senior members of the Royal Family in 2020.
It is where the couple raise their two children Archie and Lilibet – but according to their neighbours, the family are a "no show" in public.
Richard Mineards, who writes a gossip column for the Montecito Journal, claims locals have been left reeling from their reported lack of integration into the community, The Times reports.
"Harry and Meghan haven’t become part of the community, and I think a lot of people are bristling about that really," he said.
"It’s such a lovely place to go out and they’ve been a no show.
"There is this big question of, ‘Where are they?'".

Harry’s ‘signal of deception’ shows how Queen meeting went
A body language expert has analysed Prince Harry’s Today show interveiw with anchor Hoda Kotb while attending the Invictus Games at The Hague.
Body language expert Dr Lillian Glass says that the Duke lacked a “genuine smile” when discussing his reunion with the Queen and claims he “tried too hard to make it seem that all was well with his grandmother and himself”.
Dr Glass also says that Prince Harry “hesitates for way too long” before answering a question about how his visit to the Queen went.
She told Express.co.uk: “He shakes his head no when he says it was great. Then he looks away and changes the subject to her sense of humour.
She adds: “He also doesn’t have a genuine smile when discussing the meeting. In fact, he looks sad.
“When people recall a pleasant meeting they usually show a genuine smile. This was not the case here.”

Almost a decade prior, Mrs Brown claims Harry "vented" about William to his then-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, who he dated for two years from 2012.
Writing in The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor — The Truth And The Turmoil, Mrs Brown claims: "When he wasn’t venting about William, he was pouring out resentments about Charles."
The biographer says the relationship between the two brothers became strained before Meghan Markle came on the scene, as they held a rivalry over their joint interest in conservation.
"Friction between the brothers escalated over their professional alignments," Mrs Brown writes in the book.
"William knew he had to be respectful of hierarchy when it came to his father’s ownership of the environmental platform, but he was less willing to accede to his brother."

Meghan 'concerned' new book will 'damage her image'
A royal expert has claimed that Meghan Markle is "concerned" about a new biography of her that is set to be released later this year.
Royal biographer, Tom Bower, will focus his latest book on meghan Markle – and Mr Bower told the Daily Express last year: "It will tell the truth when it comes out."
Speaking on his YouTube channel, royal expert Neil Sean has since claimed Meghan is "concerned" about its publication.
He claimed: "This time he's now looked into the past life of the now Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
"According to very good sources, Meghan's concerned that this particular book could damage her image.
"Meghan is concerned by who spoke to Mr Bower and as her team have pointed out, how rock solid these claims are.
"Either way, a lot of people's money is simply on Mr Bower's book rather than the forthcoming memoir from Prince Harry."
A source told The Sun last year: "This is the book Meghan will be dreading.
"Tom doesn't pull his punches and is terrifyingly thorough in his research.
"No stone will be left unturned.
"Tom has previously worked with some of his subjects, and even spent time trailing them, but it has been made perfectly clear to him that this will not be an option with Meghan.
"She wants no part of it."

Meghan Markle's half-sister sends harsh message her
On Friday, Samantha Markle was interviewed on LBC by Nick Ferrari and during the interview the host asked Samantha what she would say if she had "the opportunity" to speak to Meghan Markle "face-to-face".
The older half-sister of Meghan Markle said: "There's so much water under the bridge.
"I think when you have PR that suggests you posit positive change in the world and humanitarianism, your actions have to meet those words.
"I think the world, in my opinion, has witnessed just the opposite of that".
She added: "I would suggest a good hard long look in the mirror and really asking if you are true to what your PR is painting you out to be.
"If you are sincere and present in the moment as a human being with a modicum of compassion and dignity and integrity and gratitude.
Samantha concluded: "It's really not there and it's kind of sad because it takes just as much time to be good to people and to be honest as it does to be deceitful and hurtful".

Meghan 'pushes Harry away' after TV kiss
A body language expert has analysed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's kiss during last Saturday's opening ceremony of the Invictus Games.
Body language expert Louise Mahler said that the Duchess of Sussex actually "pushes him [Harry] away and walks off" after the kiss as she "has all the affection of an alley cat – not much".
Speaking on Australia's Sunrise programme, Ms Mahler said that there were some "very public displays of affection – PDAs as the young ones love to call them – between Harry and Meghan".
The body language added: "I don't know what she was doing there at the Invictus Games but when she is on stage, she is so confident as a performer."
She continued: "The kiss, however – she has all the rhetoric but none of the body language of somebody who is actually affectionate.
"When he walked up, you would think you would lean forward and put your hands into a cuddle.
"Instead, she put her hands flat on his chest and stood bolt upright.
"He then kissed her, but she pushes him away and walks off."

Meghan Markle ‘oblivious’ to royal pecking order
Meghan ‘seemed oblivious’ to the pecking order existing within the Royal Family as she joined the Firm as one of its working members, a royal author has claimed.
Royal author Tina Brown has claimed in her new book Meghan and Prince Harry shared the desire, prior to their wedding in May 2018, of “being the instruments of global transformation who, once married, would operate in the celebrity stratosphere once inhabited by Princess Diana”.
However, according to Ms Brown, this wish risked clashing with the pecking order within the Royal Family, an existing hierarchy to which the Duchess appeared to be “oblivious”.
Ms Brown wrote in her new book The Palace Papers: “In the ranking system of the entertainment world, star power — wattage — equals leverage … Alas, she seemed oblivious to the one critical factor that would determine the outcome of her plans for the future: primogeniture.”

Meghan Markle ‘thought the Royal Family needed her more than she needed them’
Tina Brown, the author of a bombshell new book on the Royal Family, sheds light on the alleged row that happened between Harry, Meghan and Angela Kelly – the Queen’s dresser and assistant.
The bickering happened over the choice of the tiara to be worn at Meghan and Harry’s wedding, it’s claimed.
According to Brown, Meghan used Her Majesty’s trusted aide like a Hollywood stylist.
She writes: “Meghan did not — or could not — perceive the difference between the Queen’s personal aide and a contract stylist at NBC Universal.”
The Duchess’ view, according to Brown, was that “the monarchy likely needed her more than she needed them.”
Meghan wanted a “leading-lady status” in the family – since she had starred in the “equivalent of a blockbuster film.”
Meghan and Harry’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
