Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, has just been left humiliated as she’s been named the “most disappointing” celebrity of 2025 by the Toronto Star.
Meghan Humiliated At The End Of 2025
Prior to her marriage, Meghan spent years living in Toronto, where she filmed her TV series Suits.
At the start of 2025, Meghan had high goals for the year. Indeed, 2025 included the premiere of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, and her Martha Stewart-esque brand, As Ever.
Unfortunately for Meghan, however, each of these ventures flopped miserably. Reporter Patricia Treble pointed this out in her Toronto Star opinion piece on Tuesday, saying that Meghan’s year “slowly deflated as each project failed to deliver as expected.”
“There’s no sign of a second season for her podcast,” Patricia wrote. “Netflix hasn’t officially renewed her show on the eve of its one-off holiday special.”
“It also ended the exclusive and very lucrative five-year deal with the Sussexes, instead opting for a frugal ‘first peek’ deal,” she continued. “As of now, no new projects have been greenlit. Her As Ever homewares site has just 15 items for sale, ranging from $12 (U.S.) raspberry spread to a $35 Sauvignon Blanc (to customers only in the continental U.S.).”
Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, stepped down as senior royals in January of 2020. They then moved to Southern California, where Meghan was born and raised.
Nearly six years later, Patricia wrote that “Meghan wants everyone to know and acknowledge that she’s royal, without the obligations of working on behalf of the monarch, including all those endless engagements for worthy causes.”
As for Harry, Patricia pointed out that he has “done little this year” beyond the Invictus Games.
Meghan’s Netflix Downgrade
The label of “most disappointing” celebrity could not come at a worst time for Meghan. Indeed, she is currently struggling to survive in the entertainment world that she’s so desperate to be a part of.
Indeed, this comes four months after Netflix downgraded Meghan and Harry from their $100 million contract. Instead, Netflix gave them a far more modest “first look” deal moving forward.
Meghan and Harry had signed their $100 million Netflix contract back in 2020 after they stepped down as senior royals. That deal is set to expire next month.
On August 11, Netflix announced that it will not be renewing Meghan and Harry’s $100 million contract. Instead, Netflix has given them a “multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects.” This “downgrade” is the same one that Netflix gave to Barack and Michelle Obama.
“In practice, it is a downgrade from the 2020 overall deal that birthed Harry & Meghan, Polo and With Love, Meghan, among other projects,” The Hollywood Reporter reported.
“The overall-to-first-look extension mirrors the move Netflix made recently with the Obamas — as well as others — for their Higher Ground banner,” the publication continued. “In both cases, the exclusivity carried by their respective, splashy original deals has been removed.”
Whether you like Meghan or not, it can’t be denied that 2025 has been a rough year for her. Only time will tell if Meghan can bounce back from these fails in 2026!
