Meghan Markle drew parallels between herself and the former US president and first lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, during a discussion about her latest collaboration with Netflix. Speaking at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington DC, the Duchess of Sussex highlighted the similarities between her and Prince Harry’s new deal with the streaming service and the Obamas’ agreement with Netflix.
At the event, Meghan expressed her gratitude for the partnership, emphasizing its positive impact on her As Ever brand, which offers products like flower sprinkles, baking kits, and jam. She explained that the extended deal provides them with the flexibility to present projects to Netflix first while also exploring opportunities with other platforms.
While the Sussexes view their expanded partnership with Netflix as a creative endeavor, PR expert Mark Borkowski has labeled it a “downgrade,” suggesting that Netflix strategically shifted focus from the high-cost couple. Meghan also hinted at changes in the format of her show, teasing a holiday special that will feature gift wrapping techniques and innovative content delivery methods.
Despite facing criticism for the initial season of her show, Meghan remains focused on refining her content and engaging with her audience in new and exciting ways. The future of “With Love, Meghan” remains uncertain as the couple navigates the evolving landscape of their creative projects and partnerships.
