Bethenny Frankel gave her analysis on Meghan Markle’s business ventures. The Entrepreneur of the Year is arguably, the right person to give her take on the new Netflix deal that the Duchess of Sussex, and her husband, Prince Harry, recently signed. The details of which, indicate a downgrade in the couple’s value to the streaming giant.
However, the Real Housewives of New York alum commends Meghan for the hustle. Bethenny herself made a fortune off her Skinnygirl brand. So just what did the RHONY alum have to say about the Sussex’s business plans?
Bethenny Frankel says it’s “hard” for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry “to land all of those things”
“They didn’t want the fame, but they didn’t want to give up the lifestyle, because it’s expensive. Now they’re living in Montecito, and it’s hard for things to land,” Bethenny told Us Weekly.
The RHONY alum continued, “It’s hard to land all of those things, and they wanted to do it in a timely manner because they realized there was a certain window of opportunity, so they made all these different deals. And business is really hard.”
Perhaps it was too much too soon. But capitalizing on public interest has a finite life span. The couple’s deal with Netflix expired this year. Meghan and Harry were offered a “first look” deal, which gives the streaming giant first dibs to either accept or reject a project. Meghan also changed the name of her lifestyle brand from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever earlier this year.
Despite the minor setbacks, Bethenny commends the couple. She thinks their loving bond is very endearing.
“I respect that relationship and that loyalty to each other, and I just don’t think it’s that easy. If it was so easy, everybody would be good at doing it,” she stated.
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
