Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Dreams Dim as Netflix Turns Its Back

In a surprising twist of fate, appears to be experiencing yet another humbling moment in her quest for Hollywood success, and this time, it's courtesy of Netflix.

While Victoria Beckham is basking in the limelight of executive accolades, Meghan's latest venture seems to have been met with an uncomfortable silence.

Last week, during Netflix's highly anticipated “Next on Netflix” showcase in Los Angeles, Chief Content Officer Bella Bergeria was busy showering praise on various upcoming projects.

She enthusiastically highlighted Eddie Murphy's new documentary, an NFL series centered around the Dallas Cowboys, and Victoria Beckham's exciting new docuseries.

The audience was even treated to an exclusive 90-second teaser of Beckham's project.

And where was Meghan in all this?

Nowhere to be found—her cooking and lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” was conspicuously absent from the conversation.

It's almost as if Netflix has come to the realization that investing $80 million in Meghan might not have been the best decision.

Comedian John Mulaney didn't miss the chance to poke fun at the situation, quipping about Netflix's spending habits, “Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.” Ouch!

That's a burn that calls for some serious aloe.

To make matters worse, the Beckham family seems uninterested in rekindling any friendship with Meghan and .

David Beckham, a long-time confidant of , has reportedly drawn a firm line when it comes to reconciling with the Sussexes.

A source shared with InTouch that David views any potential reconciliation as an act of disloyalty to his close friends, William and Catherine.

It seems the entire Beckham clan is united in their stance, urging Victoria to keep her distance from Meghan, despite Posh being open to moving past the drama.

So, what's behind Netflix's apparent snub of Meghan?

The answer is simple: the Sussexes' track record with the streaming giant has left much to be desired.

While their documentary “Harry and Meghan” garnered impressive viewership numbers, it also came with an eye-watering price tag—the largest in Netflix's history.

Following that, 's polo documentary failed to make any significant impact, not even breaking into the top ten.

“Heart of Invictus,” although well-received, managed only 300,000 views from its August release until the year's end.

Now, Netflix executives are reportedly reconsidering whether their investment in the Sussexes was worthwhile.

Employees are pushing for higher-ups to cut their losses and end the contract when it expires later this year.

According to a Netflix insider, staff members are expressing dissatisfaction over the substantial funds allocated to Harry and Meghan, stating, “It's nothing personal, but pound for pound, they've been a poor investment.” If the Sussexes weren't who they are, it's suggested that Netflix would have moved on long ago.

What's the takeaway from all this?

Victoria Beckham is firmly establishing herself as Hollywood's new sweetheart, while Meghan struggles to maintain her relevance.

Netflix executives couldn't even muster the effort to mention Meghan's project during their own event, signaling a clear shift in priorities.

Meanwhile, the Beckhams have chosen to align themselves with Team William and Catherine, leaving Meghan and Harry out in the cold.

As Netflix employees grow weary of the couple's underwhelming returns, it becomes evident that Meghan's dreams of Hollywood grandeur may be slipping away.
