Meghan Markle has faced intense public scrutiny, especially after the release of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. While many have openly criticized the Duchess, comedian Katherine Ryan’s sudden shift stood out. Once supportive, she has since continuously spoken negatively about Markle. Now, fans believe they have uncovered the reason behind this drastic change, sparking further debate about what may have caused Ryan’s apparent reversal in opinion.

From admiration to apparent resentment, Katherine Ryan’s abrupt shift in opinion on Meghan Markle has left many questioning—what is the untold truth behind this unexpected change in perspective?

A post on X by Benjamin Eley Cannell Parody speculated on Katherine Ryan’s abrupt shift in attitude toward Meghan Markle. He pointed out that Ryan’s sudden criticism might stem from Netflix pulling the plug on her sitcom after only one season. Ironically titled The Duchess, the show flew under the radar for many. Ryan reportedly admitted that it failed to generate sufficient viewership in its initial month, which resulted in its cancellation and could explain her unexpected change in opinion.

The six-episode series premiered in September 2020 but was not renewed. It followed a bold and unconventional single mother in London navigating complex choices, including whether to have another child with her ex, Olive’s father. Katherine Ryan shared on Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To… podcast that Netflix canceled the show due to insufficient viewership, despite 10 million streams in 28 days. She expressed gratitude but felt the show’s conclusion was fitting. Similarly, Meghan Markle has also faced public scrutiny, this time over allegations of name theft for her upcoming podcast. However, unlike Ryan’s show cancellation, Markle has found support in her defense.

Having faced genuine content theft before, she saw no reason to attack Markle. Meanwhile, Markle’s podcast will launch on April 8, alongside her As Ever brand, as speculation continues to swirl.
