英國哈利王子與妻子梅根正式脫離已有 5 個月，日前就宣布跟 Netflix 簽約合作，未來會拍攝一系列紀錄片、電影、劇集及兒童節目。

有傳兩人的酬勞估計有機會達到 1 億 5000 萬美元（約新台幣 44 億元）。日前有外媒報導，哈利已經向王室償還了 240 萬英鎊（約新台幣 9 千萬元）的 Frogmore Cottage 裝修費用，並停止接受父親威爾斯親王查爾斯提供的財政支援。

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

根據《衛報》、《每日郵報》等英國媒體報導，哈利和梅根的發言人已經確認 Frogmore Cottage 的裝修費用已全數償還給王室，而英女王也同意將該處繼續用作兩人在英國的住所。

有消息指兩人能夠償還債務的原因多虧日前跟 Netflix 簽下的天價合約，有指哈利一直都想盡快還債給王室，更認為還債後再沒有人能夠控制他。

知情人士透露，跟 Netflix 簽下的合約可能仍讓哈利感到困擾，因為業界對天價酬勞反應兩極，也會因而再度受到批評：「但如果他認為這樣做（償還債務）能免於受到公眾和媒體的監督，他就錯了。因為他現正身處美國，成為引人注目的公眾人物，比起生活在英國更加多人留意其一舉一動。」
