Meghan Markle’s latest venture has sparked intense frustration among the public, leaving many questioning the true value of her brand. The backlash surrounding her new cooking show has led experts to reconsider whether she and Prince Harry were ever a worthwhile investment.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast, addressed this controversy in a recent interview with Sky News Australia, shedding light on the growing concerns within Netflix. She noted that executives at the streaming giant must be exasperated over the substantial sums they invested in the Sussexes.
Schofield questioned what Netflix has truly gained from this partnership, pointing out that instead of generating positive engagement, the couple has been at the center of relentless criticism. She highlighted how their choices have distanced them from working members of the Royal Family, who are actively involved in impactful projects such as Queen Camilla’s domestic violence initiatives and Prince William’s efforts to combat homelessness.
She further suggested that Netflix may have miscalculated by backing Meghan and Harry, believing they had chosen the wrong figures to lead high-profile content.
This backlash also reignites the debate about the couple’s commercial ventures, particularly given their initial claims that stepping away from royal duties was about seeking privacy. Many now see their latest projects as a contradiction to that narrative.
