The Cut Criticizes Meghan Markle's Ventures

The Cut, a magazine once supportive of Meghan Markle, has published a critical article titled 'Harry and Meghan’s Projects Can’t Stop Flopping', marking a significant shift in tone. Written by Danielle Cohen, the piece scrutinizes the couple's latest Netflix series, Polo, which has received poor reviews, with critics labeling it tedious and lacking appeal. The series, which focuses on wealthy athletes, features minimal appearances from the Duke and Duchess and has been compared unfavorably to Markle's previous ventures, including her jam company. This negative coverage reflects a broader trend among U.S. media outlets that have soured on the couple following their earlier high-profile projects. Cohen notes that despite the glamorous premise, Polo is failing to capture viewers' interest and suggests it may jeopardize their Netflix deal. This shift in reception comes after The Cut previously featured a favorable cover story with Meghan in 2022, showcasing her and Harry's new life in California.
