Meghan Markle reacted explosively after Harry omitted her Netflix show.
During the event, the Duke of Sussex engaged with attendees and shared details about his viewing habits at home in Montecito, California. When 13-year-old Grace Tutt inquired about his Netflix recommendations, Harry mentioned the political thriller Hostage and the dating series Love Is Blind as favorites he enjoys with Markle.
However, sources indicate that Meghan was less than pleased with his selective memory. âShe feels With Love, Meghan is one of her most significant projects since stepping away from royalty, and she expected Harry to acknowledge it,â one insider shared. âInstead, he listed other shows and excluded hers, which she perceived as a major slight.â

Harry recommended âHostageâ and âLove Is Blindâ to a young admirer.
The second season of With Love, Meghan, which spotlights culinary pursuits and familial stories, premiered last month as part of the Sussexesâ lucrative Netflix deal.

Insiders claim that Meghanâs furious response to Harryâs blunder was swift. âShe told him directly that forgetting to mention her show was unacceptable,â another source revealed. âTo her, every time Harry discusses Netflix, he should be promoting their collaborative projects or her work. She accused him of being inconsiderate and said it made her look irrelevant.â

Critics have criticized Markleâs cooking show as staged and insipid.
Harryâs comments at the WellChild Awards were otherwise received positively. During his conversation with Grace, who uses a wheelchair after a bus accident, he said, âMy wife and I just finished watching Hostage. Itâs fantastic; it was filmed here. If you havenât seen it, you absolutely should.â He humorously added afterward, âOf course, if itâs inappropriate, it wasnât my recommendation!â
Yet, the fallout from his comments has created significant tension at home. âMeghan desires to be recognized as a serious creator,â a friend commented. âTo her, leaving out With Love, Meghan signified Harry dismissing months of hard work. She reminded him that he has one responsibility regarding Netflix â promoting their initiatives.â
