The CEO of Netflix has further escalated the ongoing feud he's having with Megan Markle.
Ted Sarandos wasn't always distant from the US-born Royal, as he was one of the first noteworthy names to follow her upon her return to social media at the beginning of 2025.
Markle had agreed a multiple-million pound deal with Netflix to produce a number of programmes for a number of years.
The likes of reality TV show With Love, Meghan hit the air in recent years, though the second series didn't match the viewership that season one brought in.

Following a falling out between Markle and Sarandos though, it looks like a third season is nothing more than a pipe dream.
Sarandos has now unfollowed both her and her lifestyle brand 'As Ever' on Instagram after the brand was purged.
Back in March 2025, the lifestyle business' account went live, with the Netflix CEO adding it to the select few hundred accounts he follows on the app.
But according to the Daily Mail, Sarandos unfollowed the account and Markle's personal one, around one month ago - his creative chief Bela Bajaria followed suit.
In the past, they had spoken highly of the former Suits star, as Sarandos described her as a 'rock star' last year, but whispers coming out of the US this week say the complete opposite.
Apparently, the Netflix chief is 'fed up with the pair', in reference to her and Prince Harry.
Despite this, Sarandos' wife, Nicole Avant, still follows Markle on Instagram, but not As Ever - a Netflix source told the publication: "Nicole and Meghan are still friends."
Just last month, sources claimed that Markle felt that the streaming platform was too cautious with the lifestyle brand, which is known for selling flowers, candles, and jam.
Netflix told Variety this week that the Royals were hard to work with in parts, as one claimed: "The mood in the building is 'we're done'."
Markle has been accused of leaving Zoom calls and speaking over her husband in meetings, though her lawyer has since come forward and denied these claims.
She allegedly only left the screen to take care of her children, Archie and Lilibet.
In recent weeks, Sarandos and Bela Bajaria have been heard saying things about the couple which were 'not complimentary', after Netflix lumped money into her brand, which has struggled.
The plug on the brand was pulled on 6 March, as one source claimed: "There was just all this jam. We had thought that there would be more to it."
Variety reported that Sarandos said he wouldn't sit on a call with Markle 'unless a lawyer was present on the line', though Netflix have said that this is 'absolutely inaccurate'.
Lawyer Michael J Kump, who is representing the Sussexes, said in a letter to the publication that this was 'blatantly false', claiming that the former actress regularly speaks with Sarandos, as she's also 'been to his home, sans lawyers'.
