Meghan Markle 'sends very telling message' as Netflix show branded 'bitter pill to swallow'

The Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series With Love, Meghan will return for a second season

Meghan Markle is said to be sending a very telling message to the world, according to a royal expert.

The former Suits actress has seen her Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, hit the streamer's top 10 chart - and it's even returning for a second season later this year.

The Duchess of Sussex is also launching her new podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder' which will see her have 'candid conversations' with 'amazing women' about their businesses.

The podcast has been created as part of a deal Meghan signed last year with Lemonada Media.

She said listeners would hear 'unfiltered stories behind the successes of notable female founders'.

According to royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop, Meghan has had the last laugh - despite the brutal criticism launched at her.

She said: "How the world has loved to hate on Meghan for her serialised version of perfection - With Love Meghan.

"It has even inspired a new verb – to hate-watch.

"The Duchess of Sussex has become the catch-all for our own feelings of inadequacy and jealousy.

"How. Dare. She, sighs millions of viewers, before settling down to another episode of yet more hate-watching.

"There is something deliciously ironic about the fact that Meghan has devised a creative strategy (including an Instagram account with 2.5million followers) that weaponises all those haters and turns their clicks into profits.

"Well done her. Cue a giant algorithm that has brought the Duchess international success and abundant wealth."

"With Love Meghan sits proudly in Netflix’s global top ten.

"A second With Love, Meghan series has already been commissioned and filmed. More perfection is in the pipeline.

"And the beginning of April will see the launch of another podcast series - Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan."

Tessa said Meghan is sending a very telling message to the world with all of her projects, Mirror reports.

She added: "Lest the haters are in any doubt as to the company they keep – it was US President Donald Trump who announced he will leave Harry alone during his beleaguered American visa application because "he’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible".

"As for viewers back in Britain, Meghan’s media triumph will be a bitter pill for some to swallow.

"Secretly too many of us wanted Meghan to fail: she stole our prince and dissed our first family and ran away with titles and tittle-tattle to the States where she has made a go of it.

"Proof that there really is life after the Royal Family."
