Another former Meghan Markle enthusiast finally seeing the light! Comedian Katherine Ryan, who once passionately defended the Duchess of Sussex, has now done a complete 180—and the irony is absolutely delicious.
Ryan, once a self-proclaimed Meghan fan, has now joined the growing ranks of those who have seen past the carefully orchestrated PR machine, the never-ending victim narrative, and the flawlessly curated "humble" act. Recently, on her podcast Telling Everybody Everything, she aired her grievances and took aim at Meghan’s latest Netflix venture, *With Love, Meghan* —and let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly a glowing review.
“I liked Meghan Markle. I was rooting for Meghan Markle,” Ryan admitted, before making it abundantly clear that she has since wised up. *“I see now, and maybe it’s just the projects she’s choosing, but it does feel like she has lied about whether she knew who Prince Harry was. And these details about her childhood change and don’t add up.”
Oh really, Katherine? You mean the same Meghan Markle who claimed she had no clue who Prince Harry was, despite being photographed outside Buckingham Palace as a teenager and writing about wanting to be a princess? Say it ain't so!
One of Ryan’s biggest issues? Meghan’s ever-changing backstory. On one hand, she reminisces about eating TV dinners like an average struggling girl. On the other, she fondly recalls farm-fresh, organic meals. So, which is it, Meghan? Were you a Whole Foods princess or a Hungry-Man dinner devotee? Pick a lane.
And then there’s the never-ending obsession with celebrity status. Ryan astutely pointed out that for someone who allegedly wanted to escape Hollywood, Meghan sure does love her A-list connections. She wants the royal title, the red carpet treatment, and the $100 million Netflix deal—but also wants the world to believe she’s just a down-to-earth, relatable "girl next door."
Give us a break.
Another key observation? Meghan’s strategic use of the Sussex name. Ryan didn’t hold back, saying, “I think less of women who change their name anyway, but let’s be honest about why you’re choosing Sussex. It’s a way to hang on to the Duchess of Sussex.” Ding, ding, ding! While Meghan may have officially kept "Markle," let’s not pretend she isn’t milking the royal association for all it’s worth.
Because, let’s face it—"Duchess" just hits differently when you’re trying to sell a lifestyle brand.
The real kicker here is that it took a Netflix flop for Katherine Ryan to finally throw in the towel. Meghan has been spinning inconsistent stories, playing the victim, and monetizing her "woe is me" narrative for years. But it seems *With Love, Meghan* was the last straw for Ryan—and likely many others.
Better late than never, I suppose.
And as some online commentators have pointed out, Meghan’s Netflix series isn’t even her biggest offense. That honor belongs to the endless legal threats, the taxpayer-funded complaints, and the blatant hypocrisy of preaching about compassion while living like a one-percenter.
The Netflix show? Just the cherry on top of a cake that’s been baking for years.
Ultimately, Katherine Ryan’s change of heart proves one thing: the Meghan Markle brand is wearing thin. Even former defenders are growing weary of the meticulously crafted, ever-changing sob stories. The jig is up. And as more and more people wake up to the carefully constructed illusion, one thing is clear:
With Love, Meghan might just be her final act.
