With Love, Meghan: Royal Expert Tina Brown’s opinion on Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix show
Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers, has delivered her verdict on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex‘s new venture, the Netflix show With Love, Meghan – and she didn’t mince her words.
Writing in the latest edition of her Substack Fresh Hell, she told her subscribers, “With her unerring instinct for getting it wrong, Meghan has come out with a show about fake perfection just when the Zeitgeist has turned raucously against it.
“[She] has never figured out a convincing persona. Masquerading as an influencer, she’s the ultimate follower, which inevitably means she is behind the curve.

“[The show] is a testament to how far the beleaguered Duchess of Sussex has rowed herself backward in time since she first burst into the public consciousness more than eight years ago.”
Brown added commentary about her and Prince Harry’s decision to leave the royal family five years ago, believing that they jumped the gun.
The 71-year-old said it would have made more sense to wait until the death of Queen Elizabeth II for them to leave their roles as senior royals.

“All Meghan had to do was shut up and wait. Go quiet for a couple of years, start a family, keep her eyes trained on the splendid royal real estate that would soon come up for grabs,” Brown said.
“The moment [Prince] William ascended to his role as Prince of Wales, there would have been new global gigs and red carpet roll-outs raining down on the Sussexes’ heads.”
Brown added that the Duchess of Sussex is ”just too damn impatient”, seemingly taking every chance to separate themselves from the British royal family “for good”.

“Her ravenous quest for prestige and a super-sized Hollywood halo means she is in an endless boot camp for reputation rehab.”
Brown’s opinion remains the same as it was even before the launch of the Nteflix show and her brand As Ever, which was previously meant to be launched as American Riviera Orchard
On The Ankler podcast last October, the royal expert said, “The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong. She really is.

“She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn’t follow it,” claims Brown.
“She does what she wants to do. And all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.”
Brown was also a former editor of Tatler and The New Yorker and famously had lunch with Diana, Princess of Wales, at the Four Seasons in Manhattan two months before her death in 1997.
