In a surprising twist of public perception and pop culture buzz, Meghan Markle is said to be livid behind the scenes as social media lights up with praise—not for her—but for With Love, a parody series led by conservative pundit Megyn Kelly. The satirical take, which directly mocks Markle’s public image and media pursuits, is being widely applauded online as more genuine, sharp-witted, and entertaining than Meghan’s own Netflix project of the same name.
For someone once hailed as a groundbreaking media voice, the comparison is more than just embarrassing—it’s a reputational blow.
According to several online engagement trackers, Kelly’s With Love surged to the top of digital conversation charts mere hours after its release. Viewers lauded its clever humor and unfiltered critique of celebrity virtue-signaling, with Meghan Markle serving as the not-so-subtle target. On X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #WithLoveTheRealOne and #MegynWinsAgain quickly trended, as users reposted scenes and quotes that hilariously mimicked Markle’s most talked-about moments—from royal confessions to Netflix revelations.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s original With Love show—meant to explore modern love and personal journeys—was slammed online as tone-deaf, overly manufactured, and lacking emotional authenticity.
Criticism of Markle’s Netflix content isn’t new. Despite securing massive multi-million-dollar deals, her projects have repeatedly fallen flat with both audiences and critics. The With Love docu-series was meant to showcase heartfelt stories, but reviewers accused it of being overly staged and devoid of sincerity. In contrast, Kelly’s version leveraged biting satire to expose what many see as Meghan’s contradictions: a public figure who decries media invasiveness while simultaneously monetizing curated vulnerability.
Behind closed doors, sources say Meghan is deeply unsettled by the parody’s success and has even explored legal avenues to have sections removed. However, insiders warn such a move could trigger more backlash—drawing attention to the very thing she’d rather suppress.
In response, Markle’s PR machine has gone into overdrive. Trusted media allies have begun subtly circulating counter-narratives, reiterating her dedication to “authentic storytelling” and “positive media representation.” Yet, the damage may already be done. Even once-neutral viewers are beginning to doubt her creative credibility.
This isn't the first time Meghan has been outperformed in the very industry she’s trying to dominate. Her Spotify deal for Archetypes ended after just one season, with critics accusing the podcast of being more about personal branding than meaningful dialogue. Meanwhile, those who challenge her public persona—like Megyn Kelly—continue to capture attention with sharp, satirical content.
The fact that a parody created by one of Markle’s fiercest critics has garnered more praise than her own work only amplifies public skepticism. As interest fades in celebrity activism that feels more self-promotional than sincere, Meghan’s media brand appears to be losing its grip.
There’s a cruel irony to it all: a Duchess who once prided herself on controlling her own narrative is now the centerpiece of a parody getting more “love” than any of her own content. The shift in public opinion is evident—audiences are craving honesty over image, and it’s a message Meghan Markle can’t afford to ignore.
