'Utterly tone deaf': Meghan McCain slams ex-royal Meghan Markle for Netflix trailer

Meghan McCain is slamming Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, for releasing the "highly curated, produced and out of touch" trailer to her new Netflix show during a time of turmoil.

Markle and husband Prince Harry, who famously quit British royal duties to live in the United States, have a $100 million deal with Netflix to produce programs through their company, Archwell Productions. Their current offering, called simply "Polo," received poor reviews and was dubbed "unintentionally hilarious" by the UK's The Guardian.

The aspirational show, called "With Love, Meghan," is set to be released Jan. 15.

According to Forbes, "The nearly two-minute-long trailer released by Netflix on Thursday shows Markle wandering the rows of a meticulously kept garden, choosing fresh flowers, harvesting honey, kneading homemade bread and working in the kitchen with a lineup of famous friends."

McCain posted to X on Friday:

"I was originally a Meghan Markle supporter, I thought she was cool, stylish and refreshing. Like the rest of the world my opinion changed when she disrespected the royal family. Now that she wants to be American again instead of British aristocracy what she seems to forget is Americans want real, raw, uncensored. All of this even in the trailer is highly curated, produced and out of touch. There have been 2 terror attacks in 2 days, major wars raging and Americans can’t pay for groceries. We are a country in rage, uncertainty and intensity right now. This concept is ill advised. I would have told her to do a show helping bring fresh food to food deserts in low income neighborhoods. Do something to help people instead of your ego. This is why the world doesn’t like you, nothing else. Just completely and utterly tone deaf to the moment."

The "lifestyle series" was first announced by Netflix in April. It followed the launch of Markle's lifestyle brand called "American Riviera Orchard," which, according to Forbes, "has yet to produce any content or products."
