When you thought things couldn’t get any crazier, Megan Markle has reportedly taken her promotional strategies to a whole new level—and not in a good way. According to recent reports, Megan plans to hire individuals to visit two specific Netflix pop-up locations and purchase her products in bulk. Yes, you read that right. This is next-level certifiable behavior. Some are even joking that it’s straightjacket-worthy. “Put her in a straightjacket and throw her in a room because this is absolutely crazy,” one critic exclaimed.
The alleged plan? To create the illusion of high demand for her merchandise by staging a buying frenzy. Essentially, she’s taking the concept of buying bots online and bringing it into the real world. Instead of fake social media engagement, she’s reportedly paying people to buy her products in bulk—likely funded by her husband, Prince Harry’s, deep pockets. Let’s be real: this isn’t Megan’s money she’s spending. As one commentator put it, “Harry has probably spent $5 million—maybe even $10 or $20 million—on Megan’s delusional quest to become a lifestyle brand mogul. And honestly, he deserves it. He chose this.
This orchestrated effort is designed to simulate overwhelming demand, making her products appear irresistible to the public. But let’s be honest: is there anything *less* irresistible than Megan Markle-branded merchandise? Who is even buying this stuff? And who is her target audience? These are questions that remain unanswered, leaving many scratching their heads.
An insider closely involved with the project reportedly described this as a “groundbreaking strategy that redefines celebrity branding.” Groundbreaking? More like ground-shaking for all the wrong reasons. The idea of creating artificial scarcity and excitement by hiring “human bots” to buy your own products is, frankly, baffling. As one critic put it, “This is not unexpected. She does it online with bots, so why not bring it into the real world? It’s the same old playbook, just in a different setting.”
The integration of her products with Netflix’s immersive pop-up experience has been labeled “ingenious” by some industry experts. But let’s call it what it is: a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Megan Markle is many things, but “ingenious” isn’t one of them. This move is being framed as a clever blend of entertainment and retail, but in reality, it’s just another example of Megan trying to buy her way into success.
One critic didn’t hold back, saying, “This is ridiculous. What’s she going to do next? Donate all the purchased products to charity to make herself look good? This whole thing is a sham.” The so-called “buying frenzy” is being touted as a way to blur the lines between commerce and showmanship, but it’s really just a staged PR stunt. It’s not groundbreaking—it’s just another attempt to manipulate public perception.
At the end of the day, this latest move raises more questions than it answers. Is this really the best way to elevate her brand’s image? Or is it just another example of Megan Markle’s relentless pursuit of relevance, no matter the cost? One thing’s for sure: the internet isn’t buying it—literally or figuratively. And neither should you.
