BETRAYAL IN THE PALACE! Meghan Markle’s Former Fan Turns Fierce Critic: “The Duchess Deceives!”

Comedian Katherine Ryan, who has been a Meghan Markle supporter, seems to be having a change of heart about the Duchess of Sussex.

Katherine Ryan Reconsiders Support For The Duchess After Watching New Netflix Show
Ryan, who previously voiced her support for Meghan, is now reassessing her stance after watching her latest Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”
She said on her new Netflix show that they ate TV dinners growing up, but then in an old interview, she was like, ‘We would eat farm fresh.’ Her whole act just seems very manicured and very forced,” Ryan explained.
Ryan also shared that while she doesn’t believe Meghan is a “bad person,” she does think the “Suits” star enjoys being part of the celebrity elite.
The comedian claimed that the duchess “likes cozying up to celebrities and she wants the hundred million dollar deal and she likes the fact that she’s married to a prince.”
“Of course. But I would rather someone lean into that and be like, oh my God, I used to be on ‘Suits’ and now I’m married to a prince,” Ryan noted. “I would rather that than this act of: Oh, I’m just so humble.”
The Comedian Believes People Are ‘Hate-Watching’ The Duchess’s Show
People are hate-watching it, though,” Ryan pointed out. “Who knows what Netflix is doing? They are smart — whether they love something or hate something, whatever keeps them watching more episodes.”
She went on to speculate about the platform’s strategy.
“If this was Netflix’s intention, to be like, let’s throw Meghan under the bus where even people who really liked her are turning… not against her, but… she just doesn’t seem to be the kind of gal I would want to be friends with. It’s too manicured, it’s too beige.”
Katherine Ryan Slams Meghan Markle’s Name Change
While she claims the name change was to align with her children’s surname, Ryan shared she isn’t convinced.
“Let’s be honest about why you’re choosing Sussex,” Ryan said bluntly. “It’s a way to hang on to the Duchess of Sussex.”
The comedian also weighed in on the broader topic of name changes after marriage.
She noted, “I think less of women who change their name anyway, to match their husband’s name – unless you have had a chat about it and unless you have approached that decision with equality.”
Netflix’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ Struggles To Attract Viewer
According to the Daily Mail, the streaming giant’s internal figures reveal that viewers are far more engaged when Meghan appears alongside Prince Harry.
Despite the initial buzz, the eight-part cooking series has only attracted a fraction of the audience that tuned in for “Harry & Meghan” in 2022.
In its first five days, “With Love, Meghan” was watched by approximately 526,000 households, according to Samba TV, significantly lower than the 2.1 million who watched “Harry & Meghan” in the same timeframe.
