Meghan Markle Mocked Over Netflix Show
Meghan Markle mocked relentlessly by late-night hosts and critics, as her Netflix show With Love, Meghan becomes a source of widespread ridicule. The Duchess of Sussex hoped to present a lifestyle series filled with personal touches, but instead, it has become the subject of public mockery.
During The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon took a dig at Meghanโs pretzel bag segment. When asked about โthe number one question that mystifies scientists,โ Fallon joked, โIs there life on another planet?โ His co-host Steve Higgins responded, โNo. Why does Meghan Markle make her own pretzel bags?โ The audience erupted in laughter as Fallon doubled down, calling it โconfusing.โ
The joke referred to a moment in With Love, Meghan, where Markle emptied store-bought pretzels into her own bag before offering them to guests. Critics labeled the move unnecessary and out of touch, fueling even more mockery online.
Celebrities and TV Stars Join the Meghan Markle Mockery
Meghan Markle mocked not only by comedians but also by fellow celebrities. Actress Justine Bateman slammed Meghan and Prince Harry, accusing them of turning victimhood into an โOlympic sport.โ Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith added to the criticism, saying she was โnot a Meghan Markle fanโ and dismissed the Duchessโs obsession with appearance and social perception.
Netflix stars have also spoken out. Whitney Cummings called With Love, Meghan a massive โf*** youโ to the Royal Family. Katherine Ryan, once a supporter, said Meghanโs attempts to appear humble felt forced. Christina Pazsitzky went further, calling both Meghan and her show โhighly inauthenticโ and โphony.โ
Vogue Williams, sister-in-law to Kate Middletonโs sister Pippa, mocked Meghanโs colorful fruit platter and laughed at one of her outfits, describing it as โdisgusting.โ
Critics Call With Love, Meghan a Flop
The harsh reviews did not stop there. TV critics slammed the series, with the Guardian calling it โgormless lifestyle fillerโ and suggesting it could be Meghanโs final Netflix project. The Telegraph branded it โinsaneโ and โan exercise in narcissism.โ
Despite this backlash, Netflix has already completed filming a second season, set to premiere in the fall.
Meghan Markleโs Hollywood Struggles Continue
Meghan Markle mocked across multiple platforms highlights her struggles in Hollywood. Since stepping back from royal duties, her efforts to carve out a media empire have been met with mixed reactions. Following the controversial Harry & Meghan documentary and the short-lived Archetypes podcast, many hoped With Love, Meghan would be her redemption. Instead, it has intensified criticism.
Prince Harry made a brief appearance at the end of the showโs final episode, joining Meghan, her mother Doria Ragland, and friends for a celebratory brunch. His presence, however, did little to salvage the series. The Sussexes, who signed a $100 million deal with Netflix in 2020, have yet to produce a hit that resonates with audiences.
Whatโs Next for Meghan?
The public scrutiny will likely continue. A second season of With Love, Meghan is already in the works, and the Duchess recently announced a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. This latest venture, launching in April, will feature conversations with female entrepreneurs about their challenges and successes.
However, with growing backlash and her latest Netflix project widely panned, Meghan Markle mocked on such a large scale could make it difficult for her to rebrand as a media mogul. Whether she can turn public perception around remains to be seen.
