Netflix Is 'Not Keen' on Meghan Markle: Ex-Actress Craves 'More and More' as 'Things Go Wrong' With Streamer
Meghan Markle is "trembling for more and more" amid the launch of her new lifestyle brand — and as she "channeled" Princess Diana during a visit to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital last month.
"Lots of things have fallen down — she didn't get a leading star part in a film, she hasn't got Netflix very keen on her anymore, and Spotify is not keen either," royal expert Angela Levin dished to GBN's Nana Akua.
"She couldn't even do that because she was all me, me, me, she was talking about, and not asking interesting people what their lives were, and instead actually telling them about herself," she added. "She didn't let anybody in."
Levin added: "And a lot of things have gone very, very wrong. So she's gone back to the beginning because that's a bit fashionable at the moment, but it's fashionable among different sorts of women. I don't think it will work. Give it six months and she'll be on to the next thing. But she's always trembling for more and more and more and more."
This insight comes amid the ex-actress having been advised to tread carefully with the rollout of her glossy new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, amid Kate, Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis.
"As Meghan is no longer part of the monarchy, she is free to launch her brand whenever she likes," PR expert Lynn Carratt dished. "However, given Kate's ongoing cancer treatments, it would be wise for Meghan to be sensitive to the timing of her brand launch, considering the public support for Kate worldwide."
After claiming that Meghan likely thought being a royal duchess was akin to being a "Disney princess," Akua observed: "I think she realized it's a bit harder work than she's expected. But then why would she want to get back to grifting, which is what she's doing?"
Levin replied: "If it was me, I would have gone to the royal family and thought: 'I need to do two years here to get to know what it's like because it's not how I live. I don't understand the English royal family at all, and after I've got it, I'm going to go zoom because they [the royals] will know that I've really understood it all. I think that's what you have to do.'"
A recent poll conducted by The Evening Standard in Britain found that Meghan scored just 7 percent in a ranking of the royals, which was right under Harry with 11 percent.
Despite this, the former actress' new brand has already amassed over 500,000 Instagram followers in under a month and is said to eventually tie in with a Netflix cooking show, although this could possibly "be scrapped," according to a Hollywood insider.
