Meghan's latest Netflix project, With Love, Meghan, has finally dropped, and, as expected, it’s another blatant attempt to rebrand herself—this time as some sort of Martha Stewart-meets-royalty hybrid. But the most talked-about moment isn’t her so-called cooking skills or flower-arranging expertise. No, what’s really causing a stir is the awkward and embarrassing way she treated her guest, Mindy Kaling.
Royal expert Neil Sean wasted no time tearing into the show, and rightfully so. He highlighted a moment that left viewers absolutely stunned—the instant when Meghan, on camera, essentially turned on her friend Mindy Kaling. Can you believe the nerve? Mindy, whom Meghan invited onto her show, referred to her as "Meghan Markle"—which, you know, is her actual name. But instead of letting it slide, Meghan immediately pounced on her, correcting her with a smug remark: “It’s so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know, I’m Sussex now.” Then, she launched into a nauseating explanation about how meaningful it is for her to share a name with her children: “This is our family name, our little family name.”
I almost fell off my chair when I heard that. First of all, "Sussex" isn’t her surname—it’s a title, not a family name. If she truly wanted to use the royal family name, it would be Mountbatten-Windsor. But, of course, that doesn’t quite have the same branding appeal, does it? No, she clings to "Sussex" because, without that royal connection, what does she have? Just another former actress from a cable TV show who happened to marry a prince. A prince whom she has systematically isolated from his family and country.
Susan Holder brilliantly pointed out on GB News that Meghan seems confused about her own identity, and she’s right. Meghan is so obsessed with controlling her image that she’s lost touch with reality. And poor Mindy? Her reaction was so telling. She meekly replied, “Oh, I didn’t know that. But now I know.” You could see the discomfort in her eyes. As Susan said, “I think Mindy is out, isn’t she? She had fear in her eyes.” Can you imagine being invited onto someone’s show only to be publicly humiliated like that? It’s cruel, unnecessary, and completely revealing of Meghan’s character.
Neil Sean didn’t hold back either, pointing out how Meghan has gone from having Oprah Winfrey singing her praises to now—well, correcting Mindy Kaling about her name on a poorly received Netflix show. Ouch. But he’s absolutely right. Meghan once had Hollywood’s elite at her beck and call. Now? Not so much.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on what this incident truly says about Meghan’s character. This is someone who constantly preaches about kindness and authenticity, yet she has a long history of mistreating those around her. Remember how she cut off her own father once he no longer fit her narrative? Or how former friends mysteriously vanished from her life once she became royal? Or the reports of her alleged behavior towards palace staff? This latest Sussex saga is just another example of how Meghan treats people once they’re no longer useful to her—or if they dare step out of line.
And let’s not ignore her blatant hypocrisy regarding the Sussex name. She rejected royal duties, ran off to America claiming she wanted privacy, and yet she refuses to let go of the title. She wants the prestige but none of the responsibility. Meanwhile, look at Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Here is a woman who has faced real challenges, including serious health concerns, yet she continues to carry herself with grace, dignity, and true class. Catherine doesn’t need to remind people of her title or correct them on how to address her. She simply is royal—because royalty isn’t about a name, it’s about how you conduct yourself.
Can you imagine Catherine ever humiliating a friend on camera the way Meghan did to Mindy? Of course not. Because Catherine understands that being royal isn’t about titles—it’s about respect, humility, and service to others. Meghan, on the other hand, treats royalty as a brand to be marketed rather than a duty to be upheld.
And where is Harry in all of this? Once beloved for his charm and warmth, he’s now just a background character in The Meghan Show. The same prince who was once his brother William’s closest confidant, the devoted grandson of Queen Elizabeth, the fun-loving uncle to George, Charlotte, and Louis—now reduced to a shadow of his former self.
Neil Sean nailed it when he said that Meghan is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to finding famous friends. This is what happens when you burn bridges the way she and Harry have. This is what happens when you air out your family drama on Oprah, release tell-all books trashing those who once embraced you, and build a brand around grievances rather than genuine talent. People see through it, and they distance themselves.
Just think back to Meghan and Harry’s wedding—celebrities like the Clooneys, the Beckhams, Oprah, and Serena Williams were all in attendance. Where are they now? Conspicuously absent from Meghan’s Netflix show. Instead, she’s left with Mindy Kaling—a talented, accomplished woman in her own right—whom Meghan then proceeded to humiliate on camera. It’s almost pitiful to watch.
And speaking of pitiful, let’s talk about the reviews for With Love, Meghan. They’ve been brutal. Critics have slammed the show as self-indulgent, inauthentic, and downright boring. One reviewer even called it “the most expensive CV ever filmed.” And honestly? That’s spot on. This entire show is Meghan’s desperate attempt to rebrand herself—to distance herself from the Markle name, which has become synonymous with royal drama, and instead push herself as Sussex. As if that somehow makes her more special or important.
What makes all of this even more infuriating is the timing. While King Charles is courageously battling cancer and Catherine is handling her own health challenges with grace, Meghan is out here arranging flowers and correcting people about her name. The contrast couldn’t be more striking. While real royals focus on duty, service, and perseverance, Meghan remains fixated on branding and self-promotion.
Neil Sean’s commentary isn’t just about a minor social faux pas—it’s about a pattern of behavior that speaks volumes about Meghan’s character. She uses people, then discards them. Relationships aren’t meaningful connections to her; they’re strategic stepping stones to fame and fortune. And the saddest part? Harry has allowed himself to become complicit in all of it.
So, as we wrap up, I want to give a big shoutout to Neil Sean for having the courage to call this out. The British public sees through the act. We value authenticity over carefully curated PR stunts.
