The Royal Family Sends Well-Wishes for Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Debut
As wildfires continue to threaten Montecito, the California home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, King Charles and other senior royals have reportedly sent a surprising message of support to the Sussexes.
According to Daily Mail and royal expert Richard Eden, the royal family has expressed well-wishes for Meghan ahead of the release of her Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan. During a discussion on Palace Confidential, Eden shared, “The royal family hopes the show is a success—not because they’ll be tuning in, but because it might mean Harry and Meghan no longer need to rely on exploiting their royal connections.”
The stakes are high for the Sussexes as their lucrative Netflix deal, set to expire in 2025, depends on the success of their upcoming projects. Eden noted, “If Meghan’s show doesn’t deliver a hit, Netflix may not renew the deal. This could pressure the couple to produce content that revisits royal controversies.”
The royal family’s positive reaction to Meghan’s show reflects a pragmatic hope to avoid further strain between the Sussexes and the monarchy. Meanwhile, the ongoing wildfires in California add another layer of difficulty for Harry and Meghan, highlighting their personal challenges amidst professional pressures.
As Meghan prepares for the release of her show, this rare gesture from Buckingham Palace underscores the complex relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family. It also signifies a shared desire for stability and a more independent future for the couple.
