135 Million Dollars Goes Up in Smoke Overnight: Netflix and Spotify Sue Meghan Markle for Plagiarism

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing a lawsuit from Netflix and Spotify for plagiarism in their documentary series and podcast Archetypes.

If found guilty, Meghan could be required to pay a large sum of money, which could potentially wipe out the $135 million she has earned from her various ventures.

Prince Harry and Meghan have been busy with a host of projects since stepping down as working royals three years ago, including books, movies, television, and podcasts.

However, if any of these products are found to be plagiarized, they may have to pay additional compensation out of their own pockets.

Harry's book, “Spare,” was previously accused of copying the cover of Andre Agassi's autobiography “Open.”

This time, it's Meghan who is facing the heat.

Spotify recently announced an exclusive partnership with Archual Audio, a new audio-first production company founded by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

This deal allows the couple to expand their streaming and media footprint.

It's their latest investment since they announced in January that they were stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family and becoming financially independent.

In September, Harry and Meghan also signed a multi-year production deal with Netflix.

Meghan narrated a documentary, “Elephants,” on Disney+.

The trailer for the six-part Netflix documentary, “Hagerig and Meghan,” has sparked renewed interest in the couple's ongoing feud with Buckingham Palace.

Despite all this, Meghan's announcement that she is set to become a published children's author has been met with widespread praise.

However, some online users have accused her of taking inspiration from another book.

These allegations have been dismissed by sources close to Meghan, who say that the theme of her book is personal to her and Harry's life, and that the accusations of plagiarism are unfounded.

The accusations of plagiarism appear to have arisen after it was noticed that Meghan's upcoming book shares a word in the title with another children's book.

The Duchess of Sussex's debut story is titled “The Bench” and focuses on a father and son relationship.

A book published in 2018 by Corinne Averys is titled “The Boy on the Bench.”

While both stories include a child and a bench, Miss Averys' book diverges significantly from the topic chosen by Meghan.

Miss Averys herself took to Twitter to dismiss claims of plagiarism, stating that she did not see any similarities between the two books.

According to a source close to Meghan, her team has contacted Miss Averys to resolve the matter amicably.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle is facing a lawsuit from Netflix and Spotify for plagiarism in their documentary series and podcast Archetypes.

This could potentially wipe out the $135 million she has earned from her various ventures.

Despite these allegations, Meghan's upcoming book, “The Bench,” has been widely praised, and the accusations of plagiarism have been dismissed as unfounded.

It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out in court, but one thing is certain: the ongoing feud between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Buckingham Palace shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
