Meghan Markle and Prince Harry still have a friend in Netflix.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex mixed business with pleasure while on a date night for the “Beef” Season 2 Montecito Tastemaker event at the home of Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and wife Nicole Avant.

Markle, 44, grasped Avant’s hand in one image of the group from the star-studded party amid a reported rift with the streaming giant after Netflix decided to part ways with the “As ever” lifestyle brand.

The former royals were in good company at the Southern California soiree, which also included Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau, Perry’s ex Orlando Bloom, and “Beef” stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Charles Melton.

Representatives for Archewell and Netflix did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Harry and Meghan first partnered with Netflix in 2020 with a reported $100 million deal, going on to work together on the 2022 series, “Harry & Meghan,” “Live to Lead,” “Heart of Invictus” in 2023, and “Polo” in 2024.

In July 2025, Netflix confirmed they would not be renewing their deal with the royals, but instead opting for a multi-year, “first look” partnership.

Last month, the streamer divested from Markle’s latest business venture.

“Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life,” a spokesperson for Netflix told Fox News Digital last week.

“As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world.”

In their own statement, Markle’s brand, As ever, told People that they are “grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year.”

“We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth, and As ever is now ready to stand on its own. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.”

As ever launched in 2025 as a lifestyle and home goods line, launching its first products in April, just one month after the premiere of her Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” which featured Markle’s celebrity friends visiting as she shared cooking, gardening and hosting tips.

Some items sold by the brand include jams and honey, tea and wine, candles, chocolate and other similar products. Following its first product launch, the brand sold out of stock in less than an hour, despite what some considered to be high prices.

Two seasons of “With Love, Meghan” were released on Netflix in March and August 2025 respectively, as well as a holiday special in December, and while it has not officially been canceled, there has been no news surrounding a third season of the show.

A prolonged delay in the burial of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, signals a deepening crisis inside the Islamic Republic, according to a prominent Iranian strategist.

Dr. Ramesh Sepehrrad’s remarks came as peace talks between the United States and Iran stalled and internal tensions raised questions about the regime’s stability.

Fortieth-day mourning ceremonies for Khamenei began in Iran on April 9, with authorities withholding information about his burial more than 40 days after his killing. A three-day state funeral scheduled for early March 2026 had already been postponed.

“Forty-four days have passed, and the regime does not have the confidence to publicly bury Mojtaba’s dead father,” Sepehrrad of the Organization of Iranian American Communities (OIAC) told Fox News Digital.

“That is an indicator of the fear within this regime from top to bottom,” Sepehrrad added, before describing how, usually, “a religious regime believes that their dead must be buried in 24 hours.”

Khamenei was killed Feb. 28 in a strike targeting a regime compound in central Tehran, with a separate strike affecting his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, who succeeded him.

Mojtaba is said to be still recovering from severe facial and leg injuries, three people close to his inner circle told Reuters on April 11.

Khamenei’s face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader’s compound in central Tehran, and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, three sources told the outlet.

“The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.”

He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues, including the war and negotiations with Washington, two of the sources say, according to reports.

The report came as Iran navigated diplomatic efforts with the U.S. in Islamabad aimed at easing tensions amid a two-week ceasefire, which ultimately failed to produce a breakthrough.

“Mojtaba input in the broad red lines of negotiations, even if he is not the public face,” Sepehrrad claimed. “At the end of the day, for more than 10 years, he served as his father’s right-hand man and as a conduit to the IRGC.”

“Mojtaba may be less rhetorical, less publicly ideological, and more operational because his primary focus is survival of the regime.”

Iran also confirmed Sunday it had no plans for further peace talks after the marathon summit, where Pakistan mediated.

“No plan has yet been announced for the time, place, or next round of negotiations,” Iranian state news agency Nour reported Saturday, citing the country’s Supreme National Security Council, with no statement from the new Supreme Leader.

IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER MOJTABA KHAMENEI ‘MISFUNCTIONING,’ NOT CONTROLLING REGIME: SOURCES

“Mojtaba is less the supreme leader in the traditional sense and more the coordinator of a security-led system,” Sepehrrad explained before describing him as “more like a security-backed coordinator.”

“This regime does not communicate with one unified voice. It communicates by function,” Sepehrrad said.

“One channel negotiates, another threatens, another punishes, and another tries to maintain ideological continuity. It is now a mafia,” the strategist claimed.

“The key point is not harmony but division of labor. What holds them together is regime survival, not trust.”

“What we are seeing now is deeper: a leader who lacks organic authority and therefore governs through the institution that controls force,” Sepehrrad said.

On the Iranian side, negotiations, the analyst said, also did involve “diplomats,” but a wider circle of security-linked figures shaping Tehran’s posture, reflecting the increasing dominance of hardline institutions.

“This was a brittle coalition of security men,” Sepehrrad said, before describing how Mojtaba is “at the top, but is heavily reliant on the Guards, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, SNSC chief Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi, Judiciary chief Mohseni-Ejei, and law enforcement chief Ahmad-Reza Radan.”

“Several of the most important surviving figures are not primarily diplomats,” Sepehrrad said before suggesting that that should “change how we should read everything coming out of Tehran.”

“That is a different system from the one many Western analysts still think they are dealing with,” Sepehrrad explained. “Dual track — tactical flexibility in talks and a harsher repression at home.”

“While the regime negotiates to buy time, reduce pressure on its forces, and prevent broader external escalation, internally, it is likely to intensify arrests, executions, intimidation, and internet controls now,” the strategist warned.

“The regime fears internal unrest more than diplomacy,” Sepehrrad said.

Just days prior, Hurley posted on Instagram featuring her lounging in bed in a pair of red bikini bottoms and a white sweater.

“I don’t personally guzzle weird green juices or take a load of supplements – but I’ve drunk two mugs of warm water first thing every morning for as long as I remember, and I swear by it (and it’s free),” she wrote as the caption for the post.

 In one of the photos, the actress is on her side with one arm over her head as she flashes a smile toward the camera while lounging in bed.

Another photo shows her standing in front of a wall with the same outfit on, smiling at the camera.
