BBC host gives bizarre three-word verdict on Meghan Markle’s Netflix show
BBC quiz show host Victoria Coren Mitchell has blasted Meghan Markle critics and said her new Netflix show is going to be “box-office gold”.
The Duchess of Sussex made headlines earlier this month when she appeared in the trailer for her new Netflix show.
With Love, Meghan was due to be released on Wednesday but was postponed until March 4 following the latest wildfires in Los Angeles.
Meghan’s trailer came amidst reports that the Sussexes’s Netflix deal is nearing its end in 2025, with several royal commentators questioning whether the streaming giant would renew it.
But according to the Only Connect host, Netflix cannot be “worried” about its deal with Harry and Meghan, as her latest show is going to be a big hit.
Ms Coren Mitchell wrote in her column for the Telegraph: “Everybody says that Netflix is worried about its deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but I don’t think it can be because Meghan is box-office GOLD.
“I’m not being sarcastic. She absolutely is. I know, I know, you haven’t.
“You haven’t watched the trailer and you’re not interested in her cookery show and you thought it was all a ridiculous fuss when Princess Diana died and you much prefer the Duchess of Gloucester who can walk all the way round a room without anybody noticing and that’s much better.”
But she hit back at Meghan’s critics and claimed she is “astonishingly interesting”.
