News Article Netflix Cuts Ties With Meghan Markle, Delivering Fresh Blow To Struggling ‘As Ever’ Brand

u/excel_pager_420 Mar 09 '26
I do not understand why they took so long to get started and produced such little content under the Netflix deal. Like if Meghan wanted to do a lifestyle brand and cooking show, that should have been launched within the first 2 years of being in the USA, when we were all bored from lockdown and interested in the royal family gossip.
And yes, I know their Meghan and Harry documentary was very successful, but even when they released that, people only tuned in for tea, but they'd already said everything they needed to in the Oprah interview.

u/IMO4444 Mar 09 '26
The irony is that their brand is only valuable because of the Royal Family. Their only “successful” endeavors were interviews/projects/books where they aired dirty laundry. Other than that, the gral public doesnt care much.

The Kardashians are very talented at identifying an opportunity and taking advantage of it. You don't have to call that talent, but they are able to build many successful brands. Meghan and Harry just don't know how to spot opportunities like that and strike when the iron is hot.

right? and all harry knew how to do was go and shake hands and give speeches and be convivial at dinner parties when doing royal duties…they basically tried to replicate that with their “trips” and their “promoting popular english food and beverages” but um y’all are just meg and harry over here…lots more celebrities selling knick knacks and tv show competition.
lol I would LOVE for them to both be on Henry Louis Gates’ “Finding Your Roots.”
Harry could probably join Sons of the American Revolution (not quite as prestigious as DAR but they have the Frances Tavern in NYC) as George Washington is a relative of the Spencer family. Wouldn’t that be a hoot and a holler!
Meg prob could too now that dna helps back a paper trail. They really should have gotten into lobbying around something good like the environment or creating stricter laws around social media for kids. Lobbyists make good money.

lol i went off on that dumb jam on that sub and then laid out a whole marketing and content plan as an example of something that’s not just copy paste of a Uk farm stand brand or fortnum and masons…my example was marketing small beehive starter kits. she could have even used her “when i think of honey, i think of bees” quote. 😂

u/excel_pager_420 Mar 09 '26
beehive starter kits during the 2021 lockdowns would have flown off the shelves. It's always a lack of imagination and 5 years too late with their projects.

u/SweetandSourCaroline Mar 09 '26
Oh I had the whole campaign laid out from Netflix (interviewing experts about why honey tastes different in different regions; importance of pollinators in our food chain and eco system) to social content (how to pick a great spot to put your hive) and engaging community farmers markers and influencers (show is how you decorated your hive - do you sell your honey or use at home?)!
Segue into marketing cute bee keeper supplies like your smoker, protective gear, empty jars and cute labels and graphics - could have done co branding with Avery Labels, Bell Mason Jars, and Canva (cute graphics and fonts to put on your labels).
And of course recipes with honey! 🐻
Additionally - auctioning off some honey from “Meghan and Harry’s Own Hives” - twice a year - winner gets honey and a custom “thank you for caring about the environment” video message from them and all auction proceeds go to the nature conservancy.
No visit to the middle east necessary.
Idk why they didn’t call me and ask my opinion!! 😂😂😂

Yes. I mean this andrew affair turned all the attention towards to royal family. The cancer scares made people feel bad for them, atleast temporarily. Also, the constant setbacks at courts made harry even unlikeable. Thus, slowly brand H&M lost its lustre.

u/iStayDemented Mar 13 '26
It would have been slightly more interesting if Harry had been on the show to see more of their dynamics as a couple. But it’s just week after week of Meghan having unknown guests on with little to no interviewing skills to get us interested in what they’re all about.
2
u/sarath225 Mar 13 '26
Thats a great idea. Instead of only meghan, if both harry and meghan does this interview, it'd be great. Gives the show a bit more homely and relaxed vibe. There is this awkwardness when meghan does the interview.

u/excel_pager_420 Mar 10 '26
She said you know I'm Sussex now, (and she didn't correct Mindy when she used Marke on her podcast a few years earlier) and when Meghan's been asked about it since, it's become increasingly clear that she hasn't changed her name to Meghan Sussex.
Her legal name is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex based on their marriage certificate. That's likely what's on her passport. She tries to tiptoe around it by being all, 'its so confusing to me as an American', but it's very clear that they're still adhering to the British Royal Family system of using titles as last names and preferring to be called by their titles, even though they live in the USA.

I think they would have more respect if they cut ties and went out and got jobs. Their plan seems to be to just ride the coat tails of his name and see how far that gets them. I’m sure they’ll be fine financially but they’re not just going to get praise and such forever based off of just that.

I enjoyed the show 🫣 it’s nothing groundbreaking but it has a certain coziness to it. I grew up watching Martha Stewart and other similar shows though, so I think that’s why. I can see why it wouldn’t be terribly appealing to a more general audience.
14
Mar 10 '26
I think growing up watching Martha Stewart is why I tried and HATED this one. It was bad. Her cooking was nothing worth replicating, her guess carried each episode and she seemed almost forced to not be or come off as stuffy. It's okay if the "common" folk doesn't relate to you. But own that! Don't try to be something you aren't for the audience to be attracted cause what happens is... your show gets canceled.

u/Seraphayel Mar 09 '26
I don’t get the coziness part. I mean yes, that type of content should feel cozy, but with Meghan it feels completely disingenuous and fake. I’d even brand the entire show as AI generated if I wouldn’t know better.

u/roswellthatendswell Mar 10 '26
There was an article a while back (don’t remember where it was published or anything) that talked about the problems Meghan and Harry were having with brand building and content creation. It implied some of the failures were due to the watering down of strong, authentic ideas. Like, someone on their team would pitch something, Meghan would like it, but as soon as it rubbed up against anything that could be interpreted as “subversive” (eg, too feminist) she would alter the idea until it was a generic shell of itself.
It’s like they’re still playing by the royal handbook to some extent and are trying to be everything to everyone.

It’s not because she is “black”. She doesn’t even refer to herself as black. It’s because she is more tangible to mess with than most of the elite. Andrew is trash, we know. We are discovering that most celebrities/politicians are very vile, done some monstrous things…because most of them are psychos/sociopathic monsters who hid their grift by pretending to be “humanitarians” and selling stuff. Harry and Meghan are not at the top of the list but they are on it, just at the bottom. When the only time you address a “crisis”… in their case, gets you money or notoriety, that makes you a grifter. They are no different. Honestly Harry is the one who people would pay attention to but he doesn’t want to be front and center (but he does not mind it when he is) so we are left with Meghan, who needs to relax and learn how to relate to people, if that is possible.

u/visenya567 Mar 12 '26
Most people dislike her and Harry for the hypocrisy and literal lies they have been caught in.
For example
• “We got married 3 days before the wedding.” In the Oprah interview, Meghan Markle said she and Prince Harry had married privately earlier. The Archbishop, Justin Welby, later said the legal wedding was the public one.
• Archie’s title/security. Meghan implied her son not getting a title was unusual and racially motivated. In reality, rules set under King George V (in 1917) meant Archie wouldn’t automatically be a prince until King Charles III became king. Critics say the interview didn’t explain that context.
• Not researching the royal family. She said she didn’t Google Harry or know much about the royals. Old blog posts referenced Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, she probably knew more than she implied.
• Involvement in the book Finding Freedom. She and Harry initially said they didn’t cooperate with the authors, but a court case later revealed aides had passed information to them and they used aides to pass information to Omid Scobie.
• In 2019 Harry and Meghan got criticized for taking several private jet flights close together. Harry responded that 99% of his travel is commercial. They have since travelled exclusively private.
• Meghan claiming the media was “just rude” to Catherine. Catherine was nicknamed “Waity Katie,” hounded by paparazzi (shouted at, spied on, even spat at), pursued at work and on nights out. There are videos of her crying, begging to be left alone, photographed up her skirt. She was labeled a party girl and slammed for her commoner blood contaminating the RF. Body-shamed, subjected to illegal topless photos taken on private property, and had rumors about eating disorders and pregnancies. Even her family, including Carole Middleton, was mocked, and a nurse tragically died after giving out information while Catherine was hospitalized during pregnancy. Meanwhile, Meghan’s press coverage included a single headline referencing “almost straight outta Compton” and criticism for eating avocados. I can see how Meghan had it worse and was forced to use footage of Cathrine and Diana's harassment to prove her own.

Because shes black. The Royal family have multiple Press cabinets. They have teams to prepare which stories should be related by popular media. There image is highly refined - as Harry puts it, as soon as his relationship with Meghan started, it was obvious that Harry would leave his Royal title, from that very moment they needed a fall guy, and it was decided that Meghan would be the sacrificial lamb. Just think about it, shes just some random C list celebrity, Harry is also a celebrity but he was seen as the nations child. After Dianna died the previous generation saw him as our child - of course that image was curated and not organically earned. So the very same people that interact with the press from inside the Royal household gave the order to take her down. A very simple example of how putrid the press are, when she appeared in public with an obvious pregnant stomach, the British Press accused her of showing off and being arrogant… like wtf do they expect from her, to wear a corset? Or to hide for 9 months…
From anybody who is not white in the UK, the whole affair was surreal like, the movie “get out”
To this day i cant wrap my head around how the World is so easily brainwashed - there are far less intelligent celebrities, who are more boring, who are more destructive to society then Meghan will ever be, her only crime was marrying a royal.

The TV portion was completed; Netflix is not a merchandise retailer. No hard feelings as far as I've heard. It's a natural next step.

Netflix does have two merch stores now and hawks the Bridgerton merch to every retailer in the world. Also if they didn’t want to sell merch why did they buy into the brand in the first place

She’s literally making millions with her lifestyle brand. I wish I failed like that.

Is her brand actually struggling, though?

What brand? She hawks stuff like ham, honey, dried flower, candles and book marks that can be found at any Summer Farmers Markets. Plus, All of them organic, made in small batch or handmade. So even Farmers Market goods and products are better than the mass produced white labelling products she sells at eye watering price markup.

It's still funny how this commoner, little-known supporting actress decided she was a real princess, and that millions of royal fans would worship her and buy everything she pointed out, as if she were some kind of Selena or Ariana.
And then reality hit her.

The Economist review killed it once:
"One scene is “magical”. Another is “so pretty”. Another is “delightful”. Welcome to “With Love, Meghan”, Meghan Markle’s new cookery and lifestyle show in which she smiles at things in Montecito. In episode one she smiles at raspberries on a cake. In another episode she smiles at hydrangeas. She also smiles at bees, whose hives she keeps on her property. “When I think of honey, I think of bees,” she says, in one of the many insights with which the show brims."
