Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent Friday night in Montecito, attending a Netflix “BEEF” Season 2 event amid Harry’s lawsuit. The Sussexes posed for photos with top executives and mingled with Hollywood guests. This happened during Harry’s legal troubles connected to Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in 2006. If there is anything this Netflix appearance showed, it was that the Sussexes are keeping up their Hollywood ties.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make appearance at Netflix event after former charity lawsuit
Page Six reported that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended Netflix’s “BEEF” Season 2 Montecito Tastemaker at a private residence amid the Duke of Sussex’s ongoing Sentebale lawsuit.
Photos from the evening showed the couple with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and his wife, Nicole Avant. Moreover, Markle posed with Sarandos and shared a close hug with Avant for another picture. After this, the couple also crossed paths with Katy Perry and her boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton, and Nick Kroll also attended.
Earlier the same day, Page Six confirmed Harry had been sued by Sentebale for libel and slander. This happened after an internal dispute with the charity’s chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka. The lawsuit also names Mark Dyer, a former Sentebale trustee.
In a statement that the outlet cited, Sentebale’s board of trustees and executive director said the charity had “commenced legal proceedings” against Harry and Dyer over a “coordinated adverse media campaign” that began in March 2025.
They alleged the pair “caused operational disruption and reputational harm to the charity, its leadership, and its strategic partners.” This, they claimed, “resulted in significant viral impact.” They also stated that it “triggered an onslaught of cyber-bullying directed at the charity and its leadership.”
A spokesperson for Harry and Dyer rebuffed, saying they “categorically reject” the claims. The spokesperson added, “It is extraordinary that charitable funds are now being used to pursue legal action against the very people who built and supported the organisation for nearly two decades, rather than being directed to the communities the charity was created to serve.”
Prince Harry resigned in March 2025 as the dispute escalated and drew attention from the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
