Netflix is already calling Meghan Markle’s upcoming show a flop, and it seems like Candace Owens is voicing exactly what we've all been thinking.
Let’s talk about this wildfire situation for a second. While real people are losing their homes and struggling with tragedy, what is Meghan doing? She's there for the camera crew, lifting plastic bin lids—yes, you heard that right. This whole scene has been described as nothing short of a staged setup. And it’s moments like this that have made the public lose patience. While Princess Catherine is quietly visiting hospitals, supporting early childhood development, and making real changes, Meghan is busy creating what Candace perfectly described as a "rom-com."
Now, let's shift gears and talk about Meghan’s Netflix show. It’s already facing delays, and it seems like Meghan’s been playing the role of a Martha Stewart-style character, cooking in a mansion. It's unbelievable. Everything about it feels like it’s been meticulously choreographed, even when she's trying to appear casual. Who can show up at a children’s center and make it seem like a performance? Probably only Catherine.
The wildfire crisis shows everything that’s wrong with Meghan's approach. And remember Uvalde? It’s the same playbook. They’ve got a checklist for every “royal-looking” activity. And here's the thing that bothers me, and I know you feel the same way—the victim narrative. If this Netflix show fails, don’t be surprised if it turns into another tale about how she’s being targeted. Look at how the real royals handle things. Charles is dedicated to causes like literacy and domestic violence prevention, and the others are doing their part, too.
When Catherine does something, like baking with kids for a charity event, it feels natural. She’s not trying to create content for a streaming platform or build a lifestyle brand. She’s just doing the work—day in and day out. The difference between the two approaches couldn’t be clearer. On one side, we have William and Catherine, who represent everything that’s right about modern monarchy—dignity, service, and genuine connection with people. On the other side, we have Harry and Meghan, who seem to treat every tragedy or event as content for the next big project.
And speaking of Harry—it’s heartbreaking to see what’s happened to him. The transformation from the prince we all knew and loved to the person who now feels disconnected is evident. But that’s what happens when you fall under the influence of someone who’s always seeking the next PR opportunity. That’s why Catherine’s popularity continues to grow, while Meghan’s projects keep failing.
So, when Netflix is already calling her show a flop in waiting, it’s not some vast conspiracy against Meghan. It’s because people are tired of performances and manufactured moments. You know what would be genuinely refreshing? If Meghan would just be real. Stop trying to be Martha Stewart meets Princess Diana meets Oprah. Stop turning everything into a photo op.
Candace Owens hit the nail on the head when she said Meghan is "physically incapable of just being genuine." Relatability doesn’t come easy for her. Meghan has missed the opportunity to be something truly authentic, which is what the role of royalty should be all about—service, not creating content.
The wildfire situation is just the latest example of this disconnect. While people are losing their homes, Meghan’s lifting plastic bin lids for the cameras.
I want to wrap this up by saying something important—this isn’t about hate. This is about calling out behavior that goes against everything the monarchy is supposed to represent. When William and Catherine quietly visit hospitals without fanfare, or Charles champions environmental causes, that’s true service.
So yes, Netflix might be right about the show being a flop in waiting, but the real flop is the entire approach of treating royal duties like content creation opportunities.
