Meghan Markle Is 'Underestimated' and 'Overly Dismissed' as a Cultural Influencer, Says Netflix CEO
People ^ | March 19, 2025 | Stephanie Petit

Netflix's CEO Ted Sarandos isn't underestimating Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex's solo endeavor With Love, Meghan premiered earlier in the month, debuting in the global top 10. A second season has already been filmed and will debut in the fall.

While other series produced by the couple's Archewell Productions company — including Polo and Heart of Invictus — didn't produce as large of audiences for Netflix, Sarandos recognizes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's touch goes beyond numbers.

"I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture," he said. "When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days. The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world."

"People are fascinated with Meghan Markle," he continued. "She and Harry are overly dismissed."

Netflix also has a stake in her new lifestyle brand, As ever, marking its foray into e-commerce as teas, jams and more are set to be available for sale in the U.S. this spring.

Sarandos said, "We’re a passive partner in Meghan’s company, and it’s a big discovery model for us right now."

Not gonna lie, some of her content is growing on me. But to be honest neither her husband nor her exit from the monarchy bothered me, it was their woke political drivel. The less political, the better.

Actually, I think Harry is more like his grandmother, and less woke than his dumb father.

Ultimately, it will be up to William to save what's left of Britain. Maybe the crown prince will be up for the task, maybe he won't.

Britain is quickly approaching a do-or-die Meiji moment, like Japan in the mid-1800s.

Her figures were mostly done by HATE WATCHERS and this guy is out of his itty butty mind!

There is NO "second series" at all! The supposed "second series" is OUT TAKES from the FIRST and ONLY series!

From the USA to the UK, to Canada, and Australia..."LOVE MEGHAN" has been trashed, dashed, crushed, sliced & diced, and SHREDDED TO PIECES; as it should have been, as it is utter GARBAGE and phony as HELL! Not to mention the fact that she is being SUED by many people, because she purloined their product name, show name, actual shows.

Hmmm, pray tell, Netflix, why do we require an "influencer"?

I'm pretty good all right without any Netflix "influencer".
In fact, I'm good without any Netflix at all.

The American people aren’t going to eat the dog food that the Duchess of Succoutash and Netflix are dishing up.

The bizarre couple are unrelenting in their compulsion to seek publicity--good or bad.

Her Netflix dump, “LOVE MEGHAN” has been trashed, dashed, crushed,
sliced & diced, and SHREDDED TO PIECES; it is utter GARBAGE.

Plus——she is being SUED by many people, because she
purloined their product name, show name, actual shows.

This is head of Netflix who said. He needs his product to be watched; otherwise, his investment is not back. So, of course he said glowing opinion about her.

I suggest that Billy Windsor will do fine. Harry is an idiot and not related to the rest of the family.

I don’t understand all the hate for these two.

I thought she was quite a good actress in the TV show Suits.

If she was a Golddigger she would’ve wanted to stay in the royalty, wouldnt she?

They’re definitely not worse than any other Liberal couple.

Did anyone else watch " Suits"? We did and liked the first couple of seasons,

however, we Never liked her from the minute she stepped on screen.

IDK why, Call it intuition, she gives me the creeps. SHE is a terrible actress and dragged the show down.

I agree. But I watched Suits for one reason — Shots of Donna walking:

You cool with taxpayer money going to the Harkles?

With his visa status being covered up?

With him here on a visa that allows the Harkles to dodge income taxes?

See my reply #16.

And then ask yourself why multiple Deep States have an intetest in these two.

"I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture,"

Says the man who bet $100m Meghan will influence the culture. Sit this one out pal, and let Netflix viewership decide the issue.
