Meghan Markle has recently been labeled the “Most Disappointing” celebrity of the year, as reported by the Toronto Star. The Duchess of Sussex, who is 44 years old, has a strong connection to Canada, having lived there during her time filming the popular series, Suits.
This year was expected to be significant for Meghan, with the launch of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever. However, events took an unexpected turn.
In a recent opinion piece published on December 30, Patricia Treble highlighted that Meghan’s aspirations for the year “slowly deflated as each project failed to deliver as expected.” This assessment suggests that despite high expectations, her endeavors did not resonate well with the audience or meet anticipated success.
Treble noted that “there’s no sign of a second season” for Meghan’s podcast, and Netflix has yet to confirm the renewal of her show, especially on the eve of a holiday special that did little to boost viewership. Additionally, Netflix made a notable shift by ending its exclusive deal with the Sussexes, transitioning to a more modest ‘first peek’ arrangement without any newly greenlit projects as of now.
Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry stepped back as senior members of the British Royal family in January 2020, moving to California to create a new life and raise their family. Nearly six years later, Treble argues that Meghan appears to desire recognition of her royal status while evading the traditional duties associated with royal engagements, which often involve charitable causes and public appearances.
This ongoing narrative reflects a broader public discourse surrounding Meghan’s evolving role post-royalty. As new projects emerge and previous ones trail off, fans and critics alike continue to wonder how Meghan Markle will navigate her future endeavors in the public eye.
