NETFLIXGATE: Meghan “Takes Control” of As Ever as Critics Say She Was Dumped

Meghan Markle has reportedly ended Netflix’s involvement in her lifestyle brand As Ever, with both sides insisting the split is amicable. The Duchess is said to want full control as the company expands, but critics are not buying the idea that this was her decision. One industry source bluntly told Page Six, “Her show did not go on so it did not make sense to continue the partnership.”We break down the dueling narratives, the rising web traffic figures, the harsh reaction from social media, and why even The Hollywood Reporter was mocking the split. Plus, reputation expert Eric Schiffer calls the move “celebrity brand suicide in a cashmere apron,” and argues Meghan now carries “the scent of high-maintenance disappointment.”Also in this episode: a look back at the Sussexes’ string of stalled or underperforming ventures, from The Bench to Spotify to Meet Me at the Lake, Meghan’s awkwardly timed “mood boosting daily rituals” email, and fresh questions after an As Ever bookmark sold out in under a minute.TUESDA Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.
