The Sussexes announced yesterday they signed a new “multi-year, first look deal” with Netflix to produce “film and television projects”.
However, broadcaster and journalist Esther Krakue told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show how the Duke will be at the mercy of his wife.
In harsh comments, she claimed Harry has “no value in terms of entertainment”.
“Harry is in the attic, he’s a hostage, and thankfully he chewed through his leash just in time to make an appearance in the season two trailer,” she told The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson.
“But he is nowhere to be seen. Yes, obviously, he’s dealing with the fallout from his charity and trying to find his own thing.
Harry was a ‘darling’ when I worked there – ‘thank God’ I don’t anymore
“But the man is lost. I mean, he’s really trying to find his feet.
“He has a kind of brown Midas touch, which I’m sure the viewers can infer what I mean by that.
“And really, this creative side of this endeavor has really been Meghan’s push.”
The expert added that she’s interested to see how the Duchess handles directing – having remained in front of the camera on previous projects.
Ms Krakue claimed the actress is used to being a “b-list presence in Hollywood”, who remained in the “background”.
“If I was a Netflix executive and I was negotiating this new non-deal with Harry and Meghan,” she continued
“I’d probably want to throw my shoe at Harry because at least Meghan is entertaining in the sense that she’s so vacuous, it’s almost like you marvel at it.
“But Harry’s not a creative and he’s never had anything in this industry.
“And I think because he’s come from a world where everyone fawns at everything that he does because he’s Prince Harry.
Ms Krakue highlighted Harry’s Polo documentary flop “that really just didn’t connect”.

“Even though she’s not entertaining the way that she thinks she is,” Ms Krakue added.
“Harry just has, there’s just nothing to him in terms of entertainment value.
“And I think this is probably why Netflix are like, yeah, let’s deal with the wife.”
It was previously thought that the Sussexes’ £74million deal with the streamer was not going to be renewed.
Harry’s vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people.
But it was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority.
