Meghan Markle makes 'subtle digs' at royals in new Netflix TV series

ok.co.uk:

The Duchess of Sussex ’s new Netflix series might have instantly become one of the most-watched new series of the year, but speculation about “subtle messages” about and to her British royal in-laws appear to have become the biggest takeaway.

With Love, Meghan dropped on the streaming service last week and millions of intrigued viewers tuned in to see her swap lifestyle tips with celebrity friends such as actors Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, and make-up artist Daniel Martin.

A source tells us this week that Meghan, 43, will be fully aware of the impact of the show’s talking points – including comments about having “been through something” and healing from it, and things that have been “missing” from her life. “She knows exactly what she’s doing,” the source claims. “She’ll say just enough to get the subtle messages across, but not so much that she could actually be accused of saying anything unkind or coming across as bitter or ungrateful. “This is all about Meghan wanting people to see her as the woman she was before Harry came along, but it’s hard to do that without looking like you’re trying to erase or be negative about what came after – it’s not an easy task.

She wants people to see that she’s likeable, as normal as a famous actress can be, but also that she doesn’t feel she’s been broken by anything that’s happened.” In the fifth episode of the wholesome show, with her best friend and former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, Abigail says, “We’ve all been through a lot,” before turning to Meghan, in what‘s been perceived by some as another dig at Meghan’s time with the royal family.
