Meghan has been caught spinning yet another narrative—this time about the future of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
While she was gleefully parading around, celebrating what she claimed was a renewal for a second season, Netflix executives were reportedly behind closed doors wondering how they ended up in this $100 million mess.
According to an insider who spoke with The Daily Mail, Meghan conveniently left out one crucial detail—what she’s calling a "second season" isn’t actually a renewal at all. In reality, both parts of the show were filmed back-to-back last year as part of the original deal.
That’s right—there is no new contract, no fresh vote of confidence from Netflix. The so-called second season is just the second half of what was already in the can.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the scale of this deception. Meghan deliberately created the illusion that Netflix was so thrilled with her show that they rushed to extend the deal.
In reality? This was always part of the initial agreement. The only reason Netflix is delaying the second half’s release is to make edits based on audience and press feedback. Translation? They’re desperately trying to salvage what they can before putting out the rest of this disaster.
And what a disaster it’s been. The reviews have been brutal. Even Hollywood’s most lenient critics—The Hollywood Reporter and Variety—haven't held back. When you’ve lost the favor of trade papers that usually prop up celebrity projects, you know you're in serious trouble.
And let’s talk numbers. Meghan’s show dropped out of Netflix’s global Top 10 just six days after its release.
For comparison? When Catherine, Princess of Wales appeared in her beautiful Christmas carol service, it was watched by millions and praised for its warmth, authenticity, and sense of community.
The contrast? Staggering.
One royal bringing people together through a heartfelt celebration. The other… pushing overpriced jam while playing pretend in the Hollywood influencer space.
The Sussex Name Debacle: Rewriting Royal Protocol
Speaking of playing pretend, let’s address the ongoing Sussex surname saga.
Lord Ivar Mountbatten—a cousin of the late Prince Philip—has publicly set the record straight. In a statement to Town & Country magazine, he made it crystal clear:
Meghan’s actual family name is Mountbatten-Windsor, not Sussex. That title is exactly that—a title, not a surname.
Her children, Archie and Lilibet, are legally Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor—not Sussex.
This is basic royal protocol, something every legitimate royal understands. William and Catherine never signed themselves as “the Cambridges” or “the Waleses.” Those are informal references, not legal names.
But, of course, Meghan has to be different—has to create her own rules, even when they fly in the face of centuries of royal tradition.
This Netflix drama is eerily similar to what happened with Meghan’s failed Spotify deal.
Remember how her team tried to convince us that her podcast was beating Joe Rogan on the charts?
Joe Rogan—with his 11 million listeners—versus Meghan, who barely scraped together 200,000-300,000? The numbers never added up.
And now? The same smoke and mirrors game is playing out with Netflix.
And here’s a juicy tidbit—remember that giant billboard in New York City promoting Meghan’s Netflix show?
Guess what? Netflix didn’t even pay for it.
According to insiders, Meghan personally forked out a fortune to put that billboard up, because Netflix refused to fund the promotion.
If that doesn’t scream red flag, I don’t know what does.
Meghan vs. Netflix CEO: The Reported Behind-the-Scenes Drama
Sources also claim that Meghan is refusing to communicate with Netflix CEO Greg Peters—because she believes he doesn’t “get” her vision.
Well… welcome to the club, Greg.
No one seems to understand how someone with so many resources and opportunities has managed to squander it all on a string of underwhelming, cringeworthy projects.
Let’s compare Meghan’s Hollywood hustle to the quiet, consistent work of the British Royal Family:
King Charles has spent decades championing environmental conservation.
Princess Anne completes hundreds of engagements each year—without fanfare.
Queen Camilla has dedicated herself to literacy and domestic abuse survivors.
William and Catherine focus on early childhood development, mental health, and homelessness.
They don’t need PR gimmicks or fake renewals. Their actions speak for themselves.
And Prince Harry? Once a beloved royal, he’s now relegated to making blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearances in Meghan’s vanity projects.
Meghan’s ‘Aspirational’ Brand—A Missed Opportunity
Meghan insists her brand is aspirational.
It’s not awkwardly fumbling through cooking segments while name-dropping celebrities who barely know you. It’s authenticity, service, and impact.
Take Queen Elizabeth—who was aspirational because of her duty, wisdom, and grace.
Or even Catherine, Princess of Wales, whose genuine warmth and dedication make her a global role model.
Even controversial figures like Gwyneth Paltrow succeed because—whether you love or hate her—she owns who she is. Meghan? Still pretending.
So, where do the Sussexes go from here?
Their Netflix deal is floundering. Their trademark filings for their brand are in jeopardy. Their second season isn’t even real.
Meanwhile, the working royals are simply getting on with their duties, representing the UK with dignity and purpose.
It’s a tale of two worlds—one rooted in service and authenticity, the other in PR stunts and vanity projects.
