Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently accepted a multi-million dollar Netflix deal. The co-CEO of the giant streaming service company, Reed Hastings, recently shared his thought and opinions on the couple's acceptance.

According to Hastings, the couple had multiple offers and had done thorough research before deciding on the huge Netflix deal. This is something that Reed has said he thinks is the best decision the couple could make, for both Netflix and themselves.

"They're smart - they were shopping it around across all of the major companies, and I think we really put together the best complete package, and we're going to do a wide range of entertainment with them,” he said in a CNBC interview.

YEN.com.gh previously reported that the royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have finally been able to pay taxpayers back after using £2.4 million of their money to refurbish their home at Windsor Castle. The couple made the payment after they signed a multi-million dollar deal with streaming service giant, Netflix, their spokesperson said in a statement.

Earlier this year, the couple revealed that they will be denouncing their royal responsibilities and seeking financial independence from the royal family. This meant that the couple had to give up their income, which at the time was funded by taxpayers.

The Duke and Duchess subsequently promised to pay back all the money they used to renovate their home, the Frogmore Cottage. According to their spokesperson, the money given back to the taxpayers fully covered all of the renovation costs.
