Meghan Markle and her husband hope to keep the year-end celebration rolling with two significant victories.
The former actress launched her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and was promoting her venture with a fresh Instagram page.
A teaser was released to wet the audience’s appetite. While it was received with mockery and ridicule, millions watched it, revealing they were eager for the show’s premiere.
Even if they planned to watch it ironically, it meant significant viewership numbers for Markle and Netflix, and that is all that matters in the streaming and business worlds.
The show was pushed back until early March because of the California fires, but interest remains high. Prince Harry had a significant reason to celebrate.
King Charles III‘s youngest son brought Rupert Murdoch‘s media empire from its billion-dollar pedestal.
The former soldier settled his six-year lawsuit over the accusation that his privacy was invaded for decades by the media group via hacking.
Not only did Prince Harry receive a substantial amount of money, but he also received a spectacular apology. However, the wins could not have come at a worse period in their lives.
The power couple has been accused by former staff members, ex-aides, and current colleagues and neighbors of being mean, unappreciative, rude, media-hungry, cold, and aggressive.
A staff member revealed in a Vanity Fair piece: “You can be yelled at even if somebody doesn’t raise their voice. Tominey Meghan has a habit of using a whispered shout, so when Harry is in the room, he hears her talking normally and doesn’t understand why people describe her as aggressive. His default response is always ‘Meghan is misunderstood.”
The former employee claimed: “She’d throw around phrases like ‘lack of accountability’, ‘disappointment’ or ‘we know what you did, and yet we still decided to support you’. But when staff tried to get clarity, asking what exactly they had done wrong, she’d dismiss them with lines like, ‘I think it’s best we keep it to ourselves and not advertise it in front of the team,’ ‘We’re here to protect you, not throw you under the bus.”
Dozens of current and former staff members went on and on, sharing the same sentiments that Markle is a villain and a bully in the workplace.
The torching accusations dampened the mood, and Prince Harry and Markle could not savor the moment. Sources told royal commentator Kinsey Schofield that they are upset and desperately trying to find ways to move forward.
She shared: “It is my understanding that they are upset over it [and] I’m being told that things aren’t good for them right now, between Meghan’s show being postponed, which I’ve heard was Netflix’s idea, and just the idea that she has worked so hard to rebrand herself and here comes a very respected publication reiterating some of the nastiest claims about her.”
Schofield added: “So I think they are bruised, and they’re sitting back trying to figure out how to process going forward.”
Prince Harry and his wife are hoping to put all of the drama behind.
