Meghan’s Career Setbacks
Meghan Markle recently released the second season of her cooking show, With Love, Meghan. The first season was a huge hit, drawing 2.6 million viewers in its opening week. But the second season did not even appear in Netflix’s top weekly rankings. Now royal watchers have questioned her ongoing career in television and lifestyle ventures. The drop in viewership has been a huge setback for her.
Royal biographer Tom Bower, who is also the author of Revenge, told GB News that Meghan’s projects are not doing well. He claimed Harry had separated himself from her business. He says that Meghan wanted to build a profile as a media figure. But she has faced many challenges in her attempt.
The couple had previously also suffered in their business. Their Spotify deal ended in 2023, reportedly due to a lack of content. Meghan’s luxury lifestyle brand also suffered. It first faced some trademark issues under the name American Riviera Orchard before being relaunched as As Ever.
Several reports claim that high staff turnover and a difficult working environment are issues. However, Meghan continues with her ventures. But Harry is expected to step back from any role in her career.
