Meghan Markle Deletes An Instagram Video Seconds After Posting It — For a Reason Not Many Saw Coming

Just days before the release of With Love, Meghan on Netflix, Meghan Markle uploaded a teaser of the behind-the-scenes action—only to delete it immediately. The Duchess shared a 14-second Instagram clip of her eight-episode series, where she cooks, gardens, and entertains A-lister friends. Although the video was taken down in under a minute, eagle-eyed netizens were quick to spot Prince Harry in one of the frames.

As reported by Irish Star, in the caption of her post, Markle had written, "Six more days until our show launches on @netflix! Celebrating the crew and everyone who helped make this happen! The countdown begins." Given Harry doesn't really feature in the series, royal watchers were sure the clip was a deliberate statement from the couple, subtly silencing the rumors of a potential split. Speculation about a rift between the two was rife for months, fueled by their separate public outings and individual business pursuits, Irish Star reported.

Harry had previously also responded to these rumors during an interview with Andrew Sorkin. He quipped, "Apparently we've bought or moved house maybe 10-12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10-12 times as well." He further remarked, "So it's just like, what?" He acknowledged that keeping track of such gossip is exhausting, so he prefers to just ignore it. He added that he pities the trolls—watching them build up their expectations, only for reality to disappoint them repeatedly.

It wasn’t just Harry’s cameo that had fans buzzing. Despite Markle swiftly taking the post down, the footage found new life when an X (formerly Twitter) user reshared it. Netizens spotted uncanny similarities between With Love, Meghan, and Pamela Anderson’s Cooking With Love. A person remarked, "She’s no Marchioness of Bath. She’s no Pamela Anderson. She’s no Martha Stewart. They are all originals." Another slammed, "I bet she added the apron after seeing Pamela's clip." Meanwhile, others made fun of Markle's dance moves, calling it cringe. A person opined, "She is just awful…Maybe she should try another profession but influencer and chef is not her forte. Off the charts cringe."

Similarly, another chimed, "Somebody, please tell Meghan to stop dancing! She gives a major cringe, like nails on a chalkboard." Was the video just an innocent slip-up, or a calculated move to stir interest? I guess we'll never know! Either way, the clip fueled unparalleled curiosity about the Netflix series, which is now set to be renewed for a second season. The series features a star-studded lineup, Mindy Kaling, celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin, and Suits alum Abigail Spencer. Announced last April, the show was introduced as a heartfelt tribute to life’s simple pleasures—cooking, gardening, hosting, and the magic of good company.
