The reception of Meghan Markle's Netflix show shows mixed feedback from American viewers.

Poll reveals American opinions on Meghan Markle's Netflix series

Meghan Markle's Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," debuted in March and has gathered attention since. The series aimed to showcase Markle’s interest in hosting and cooking, but it has faced criticism. Recent findings from a YouGov poll indicate that less than half of American adults are aware of the show, with only 19% expressing positive opinions. Meanwhile, 11% of respondents reported negative feelings about it. Although the show is confirmed for a second season, its release date remains unannounced, and details about its format are limited.

The lukewarm response to Meghan Markle’s show reflects broader sentiments towards her public image. With less than one in five viewers praising the series, the findings suggest that despite her celebrity status, Markle struggles to capture an American audience. The show’s overlap with celebrity culture, including appearances by figures like Mindy Kaling, may not be enough to attract wider interest. This divide may indicate a deeper tension between Markle’s royal heritage and her current public persona, and could influence the show's future and viewership effectiveness.
