Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s extravagant $14 million Montecito estate may be masking rising tensions behind the scenes.
According to a recent blind item from Deuxmoi, Meghan is reportedly facing a significant crisis following the lukewarm reception of her latest Netflix culinary project. However, rather than taking responsibility for the show's failure, she is allegedly placing the blame on Harry, despite having intentionally excluded him from the production from the outset.
Meghan has long aspired to be a modern-day Martha Stewart, though she lacks the expertise, charisma, or natural rapport with an audience required for such a role. Her lifestyle and cooking series, With Love, Meghan, was envisioned as a major success. However, instead of capturing the public’s interest, it flopped spectacularly, met with as much enthusiasm as a burnt soufflé. Rather than acknowledging any shortcomings in its execution, she has reportedly turned her frustration on Harry, criticizing him for not being supportive—despite her previous insistence that his involvement would make him look foolish.
The irony is striking. Meghan deliberately chose to sideline Harry, convinced that her brand would flourish on its own. Now that the show has underperformed, she seems to be rewriting the narrative, suggesting that his absence contributed to its failure. This inconsistency has not gone unnoticed, raising further questions about her willingness to take accountability for her own ventures.
Despite the harsh criticism surrounding With Love, Meghan, including unfavorable comparisons to a hostage video and a dismal 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix has unexpectedly greenlit a second season. However, industry insiders speculate that this isn’t a true renewal but rather a strategic repackaging of pre-recorded content from the initial production. It appears to be a last-ditch effort by Netflix to salvage some level of interest in a show that failed to leave a lasting impression.
Meanwhile, Harry seems to be embracing a more low-key lifestyle, dedicating his time to school drop-offs, dog walks, and refining his relaxed California persona. As Meghan embarks on yet another reinvention, she is reportedly shifting her focus to a new podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder. This latest venture aims to highlight female entrepreneurs and their journeys, though, unsurprisingly, it will be a solo project with no involvement from Harry, Archie, or Lilibet. Once again, Meghan is positioning herself as the center of attention, seeking praise for her supposed hard work.
The irony of this move is undeniable. Her entire post-royalty career has been built on leveraging a title she claims to resent. Whether Confessions of a Female Founder will resonate with audiences or follow the same fate as her previous missteps remains to be seen. One thing is certain—Meghan’s relentless pursuit of relevance shows no signs of slowing down.
