Meghan Markle’s Netflix show has failed to rank among the platform’s top 300 most-watched titles between January and June 2025, The Post can confirm.
The Duchess of Sussex’s eight-part series, titled “With Love, Meghan,” ranked 383rd with just 5.3 million views since its debut earlier this year — unprecedented numbers for a Netflix original that has been renewed.
Newly released figures from the streaming giant show that Markle’s series came in at a similar ranking to BBC’s “Peaky Blinders” — which was released in 2014.
The “Suits” alum, 43, released her series, which boasts eight episodes roughly 30 minutes long, on March 4.
The program showed the former actress offer up a how-to guide for entertaining as she shared her tips and tricks for hosting at home with appearances from several of her celebrity pals, including Abigail Spencer and Mindy Kaling.
While its initial release seemed promising in terms of stats after it shot into Netflix’s global top 10 within 24 hours, latest figures show that interest in the series quickly waned after its hype died down.
Not to mention, the series was filmed at an $8 million farmhouse not belonging to Markle, has since been bashed by critics and earned lower viewership numbers than her and her husband’s 2022 series “Harry & Meghan” — with IMDB giving it just 3.2 out of 10.
Still, Netflix greenlit the series for Season 2 and already filmed the episodes.
The negative feedback was echoed by a slew of critics from both US and UK publications, with the Guardian‘s TV writer Stuart Heritage calling the series “pointless,” adding that it should be the couple’s “last TV show.”
The Sussexes signed a lucrative $100 million deal with the streamer in 2020.
They came out with their five-part “Harry & Meghan” docuseries in 2022, while Prince Harry’s “Polo” doc — which also got a scathing reception from critics — dropped in December 2024.
Elsewhere, Radio Times columnist Caroline Frost wrote that Markle failed to “reimagine the genre of lifestyle programming” with her series, while the Telegraph editor Anita Singh said the show is “an exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs.”
The negative reviews were echoed by the Independent‘s writer Katie Rosseinsky, who gave “With Love, Meghan” a one-star review and called the series “queasy and exhausting.”
Additionally, the series was slammed by Markle’s estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., who took aim at the alleged “malarkey stories” the duchess shared about her childhood.
Many critics also slammed the duchess for not being relatable — feedback she has since responded to.
“Don’t they know my life hasn’t always been like this?” she said at the TIME100 Summit in NYC in April, reminding New York Times food writer Julia Moskin in an interview that she was not always married to a prince.
The As Ever founder and her husband have also executive-produced Netflix’s docuseries “Live to Lead,” which focused on trailblazers around the world.
The project was closely followed by “Heart of Invictus,” a documentary following athletes preparing for the Harry-founded Invictus Games, which aired in August 2023.
