Meghan Markle Netflix Show Ranks 383rd Globally With Low Viewership

Meghan Markle's Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, failed to gain traction and did not rank within the top 300 programs globally, peaking at 383rd with only 5.3 million views. PR expert Renae Smith criticized the show as 'doomed from the start,' arguing that cooking shows succeed only if viewers are drawn to either the food or the host, and claiming Markle failed on both counts, describing the show as featuring 'average food' and an unappealing host presence. Critics largely deemed the series out of touch and inauthentic, contributing to its lack of sustained viewer interest despite initial curiosity. Meanwhile, Markle's multimillion-dollar Netflix deal with Prince Harry is reportedly set to expire in September without renewal, with insiders suggesting she is worried about fading into irrelevance and is seeking new projects. Reports indicate Netflix was displeased with Markle prioritizing her personal brand over the streaming partnership. The situation underscores challenges Markle faces in maintaining media relevance post-royal life through entertainment ventures.
