Meghan Markle's presence on set was anything but an ordinary Hollywood affair—if reports are to be believed.
Rather than a warm and welcoming visit, she allegedly brought enough drama to make a soap opera seem tame. According to insiders, Meghan treated Drew Barrymore’s staff with the warmth of a Buckingham Palace butler caught serving tea at the wrong temperature. While the public might have expected an atmosphere of mutual admiration, behind the scenes told a different story. Drew Barrymore has long been known for her infectious positivity, but Meghan's arrival reportedly cast a much darker cloud.
Sources claim she was condescending to the crew, making diva-like demands, and carrying herself with an air of entitlement, as if she were still second in line to the throne. Spoiler alert—she isn’t. Allegedly, much of the tension stemmed from Meghan’s belief that she outranked Drew in importance, despite the latter's decades of success in Hollywood.
Drew Barrymore has spent her life navigating show business with charm, resilience, and undeniable talent. Meghan, however, seems to believe that a brief association with the late Queen grants her Hollywood royalty status. One can only imagine Meghan’s shock when she realized Drew, an accomplished actress, producer, and talk show host, had no intention of bowing to her. Even worse, Drew refused to address her as "Duchess," as if recognizing that titles alone do not make someone superior to hardworking professionals.
Behind-the-scenes whispers suggest Meghan’s latest rebranding effort is falling flat. Her insistence on being known as “Meghan Sussex” instead of using her actual surname has reportedly left many confused—including herself. A gentle reminder: Sussex is a title, not a last name. Even her husband, Prince Harry, doesn’t go around calling himself “Harry Sussex.” Yet Meghan, ever the marketing strategist, appears determined to reshape her public persona.
According to the same sources, Meghan’s attitude toward Drew’s staff was less than gracious. She allegedly treated them dismissively, as if they were beneath her, and in what may be the least shocking revelation, she reportedly made the entire production revolve around herself—despite being the guest. This comes at a time when speculation about her personal and professional struggles is reaching new heights. Reports suggest that behind closed doors, her relationship with Prince Harry may not be as picture-perfect as their PR machine suggests. Public backlash, failed projects, and a constantly shifting persona all point to a desperate attempt to maintain relevance.
The reported tension between Meghan and Drew has seemingly led to one inevitable outcome—Meghan Markle will not be invited back to The Drew Barrymore Show. If true, Drew and her team likely breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Meghan made her dramatic exit, leaving behind a trail of exasperated staffers.
So, what’s next for Meghan? A new identity, fresh grievances, or perhaps another tell-all memoir—this time titled How I Was Bullied by Drew Barrymore’s Staff? Whatever her next move, one thing remains clear: Meghan Markle can keep reinventing herself, but the world isn’t buying it. And it seems Drew Barrymore isn’t either.
