Meghan Markle's Netflix trailer ignites fierce clash

Netflix on Tuesday released the first trailer for season two of With Love, Meghan, sparking a flurry of debate across social media platforms.

The streaming giant, which boasts more than 31 million subscribers on YouTube, posted the video to its channel, where it received fewer than 150,000 views in its first 24 hours. 

Despite the modest numbers, thousands weighed in through the comment section, where critics of Meghan Markle, dominated the discussion.

Many detractors voiced long-held resentment toward the Duchess of Sussex. 

Some accused Netflix of giving a platform to a series they claimed failed to draw significant audiences in its first season.

The tone of the backlash was often scathing, with commenters questioning both Meghan’s public image and the show’s relevance. 

Defenders of the Duchess attempted to counter the criticism, but their replies were quickly drowned out by her opponents.

Netflix has not publicly responded to the criticism. The series, which mixes celebrity interviews, cooking segments and lifestyle features, will return with eight new episodes.

Season two of With Love, Meghan premieres August 26, continuing the Duchess’s partnership with the streaming platform under a multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects.
