The latest murmurs from behind the neatly trimmed hedges suggest that things may be far from idyllic inside Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's lavish $14 million mansion.
According to a blind item from Deuxmoi, Meghan is reportedly in full meltdown mode over the disappointing reception of her latest culinary venture on Netflix. In classic Meghan fashion, rather than taking accountability for its lackluster performance, she has placed the blame squarely on Harry—despite having banned him from being involved in the first place.
Meghan, who seemingly envisions herself as the modern-day Martha Stewart—minus the expertise and charm—was convinced that her cooking and homemaking show With Love, Meghan would be a runaway success. Instead, it faded into streaming obscurity, receiving about as much enthusiasm from viewers as a cold, overcooked meal. Yet rather than acknowledging any personal missteps, she has allegedly decided that Harry is at fault for not stepping in to salvage the project. The irony is impossible to ignore—Meghan was the one who insisted Harry stay off camera, reportedly believing that he sounded unintelligent and would detract from the show’s appeal. But when it failed to gain traction, his absence suddenly became the scapegoat for its downfall.
Adding another layer of absurdity, Netflix has technically approved a second season. Despite the show being ridiculed by critics—some comparing it to a hostage video—and holding a dismal 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s getting another round. However, this so-called renewal isn’t actually new content. The additional episodes were filmed alongside the original batch, meaning Netflix is simply repackaging the same uninspired material in the hope that audiences will care this time around.
Meanwhile, Harry seems to be embracing a laid-back lifestyle, appearing more like an unemployed surf enthusiast than a media mogul. His days reportedly consist of school runs, dog walks, and perfecting his California beach aesthetic while Meghan throws herself into yet another rebrand. Her latest venture? A new podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder, where she plans to host female entrepreneurs to discuss their triumphs, challenges, and strategies for success. Notably, just like her cooking show, this podcast will be an all-Meghan affair—no Harry, no Archie, no Lilibet—just Meghan speaking at guests while expecting applause for her efforts. After all, nothing says female empowerment quite like leveraging a royal title she claims to despise.
Speculation about tension in their marriage continues to swirl, despite their PR team’s relentless efforts to paint a picture of unwavering support and harmony. Insiders suggest that their relationship is under strain, though public statements insist they are fully committed to one another’s careers. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Harry appears to have been relegated to the role of a glorified dog walker while Meghan pursues any media opportunity that will still entertain her.
The bigger question remains: where does this leave Harry? He has transitioned from a working royal to little more than a bystander in his wife’s increasingly desperate attempts to maintain relevance. If Meghan continues to push him to the sidelines while simultaneously blaming him for her missteps, one has to wonder how much longer he will tolerate it. After all, even a self-proclaimed feminist might struggle to justify building a brand on marginalizing the very man who helped elevate her in the first place.
