Meghan Markle Faces Royal Criticism Over Netflix Show Promotion, Privacy Concerns

Meghan Markle's Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, recently released its second season but has faced criticism regarding its promotional strategy and product partnerships. Despite a formal partnership with Netflix for her As Ever brand, products like jam and pancake mix have reportedly seen declining visibility, with doubts about their presence in Netflix's upcoming physical stores. Royal expert Hugo Vickers and others have expressed concerns about Meghan sharing photos of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on the show’s set, suggesting Prince Harry might be annoyed due to their strong stance on privacy and warning the children may feel exploited in the future. Meghan's efforts to reinvent and promote herself through the show and related products have been described as a missed opportunity and potentially less successful than hoped. Additionally, Meghan's interaction with a mixologist guest on the show revealed humorous moments about her prior TV career on Suits, highlighting her connection with fans despite mixed reviews of the show's impact.
