Our spotlight-hungry friend decided it was time to film her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan (yes, her name had to be in the title). Now, you’d think someone living in a $14 million mansion in Montecito might film their cooking show in their own kitchen, right? But no—far too logical and not extravagant enough for our diva.

Instead, Meghan rented a $4 million per night villa for the shoot. That’s right: $4 million a night. Let that sink in.Now, here’s the twist—Netflix, reportedly, is refusing to reimburse her for this extravagant expense. I mean, can you blame them? It’s almost hard to imagine being so disconnected from reality that you’d think spending that kind of money on a rental property for a cooking show is reasonable.

This is the same person who claims to be relatable, cares about charitable causes, and says she understands “regular people.” Well, there are charities that could run for years on what she spent for just one night of filming.

And here’s where it gets even better—or worse, depending on how you look at it—Meghan is reportedly furious about Netflix’s refusal to foot the bill. Of course, she is! Heaven forbid she face the consequences of her actions or pay for her own extravagant choices. This is exactly the entitled behavior we’ve come to expect from someone who thought she could waltz into the British royal family and turn it into her personal Hollywood set.

But wait, there’s more! Even her usually compliant husband, our dear Prince Harry, has reportedly been caught yelling at her over this financial mess. When Harry’s questioning your decisions, you know things have really gone south. This is the same man who stood by her through every controversy, defended her every questionable move, and even let her stop him from reconciling with his brother. But apparently, even he has limits when it comes to financial recklessness.

Now, let’s break down this show for a moment, shall we? The trailer shows Meghan wandering around this enormous borrowed mansion, playing the role of Martha Stewart with her celebrity friends like Mindy Kaling, pretending to be a lifestyle guru. But here’s the real kicker—she couldn’t even film this vanity project in her own home. What is she hiding? What’s wrong with her own multi-million-dollar mansion that she needed to rent another one? It reminds me of what my grandmother used to say about people living beyond their means just to keep up appearances. She’d call them “all hat and no cattle,” but in Meghan’s case, it’s more like “all designer clothes and borrowed mansions.”

Meghan has become so obsessed with maintaining this perfect, curated image that she’s willing to blow millions of dollars—money she apparently doesn’t even have—just to create the right aesthetic for her show. Let’s talk about Netflix for a second. This is the same company that reportedly signed the couple to a $100 million deal, and even they are drawing the line. When Netflix, a platform known for throwing money at content, is saying “No,” you know things have gone too far.

This whole situation perfectly illustrates the difference between Meghan and Catherine, Princess of Wales. Catherine, who comes from a working-class family, has always maintained her grace and dignity. She doesn’t need to rent multi-million-dollar mansions for public appearances. She’s comfortable in her own skin—and in her own home. When Catherine does public engagements, they’re about the causes she supports, not about creating the perfect Instagram moment.

And the timing couldn’t be more glaring. While Meghan is throwing millions around for a rented property, King Charles is battling cancer, and Catherine is recovering from surgery. The contrast couldn’t be starker. While some members of the royal family are dealing with serious issues with dignity and grace, others are throwing tantrums because Netflix won’t pay for their luxury rental properties.

This situation raises some serious questions about the Sussexes’ financial state, doesn’t it? We’ve been hearing rumors for a while now about their lavish spending habits and the strain it’s putting on their finances. This latest debacle seems to confirm those concerns. If you’re financially secure, you don’t get into screaming matches over rejected reimbursements. Remember when they left the royal family, claiming they wanted to be financially independent? Well, this sure seems like an odd way of showing it—expecting Netflix to foot the bill for your ridiculous filming location choices. It’s almost as if they’ve just traded one form of dependency for another—now they’re answering to streaming executives instead of the royal family.

And as for the show, With Love, Meghan—really? Could the title be any more self-absorbed? This is supposed to be a cooking and lifestyle show, but from the trailer, it looks like just another vehicle for Meghan to promote herself. It’s all about Meghan in the kitchen, Meghan in the garden, Meghan with her celebrity friends—it’s like she’s creating her own reality show with a thin layer of sophistication to make it seem more elevated. The irony is delicious.

This is a woman who supposedly left the royal family because she wanted privacy and authenticity, yet here she is, filming a show in someone else’s house, presenting a carefully curated version of her life that’s about as authentic as a $3 bill. What really gets me is the sheer wastefulness of it all. In today’s world, when so many people are struggling with the cost of living, here’s Meghan Markle throwing millions around for a vanity project and then getting angry when she’s told to pay for it herself. She preaches about compassion and giving back to the community, yet spends money that could have helped so many charitable causes. But no—having the perfect backdrop for her cooking show was more important.

Poor Harry. Or, should I say, not poor—given their spending habits. Can you imagine being in his shoes, dealing with this kind of financial drama after growing up in the royal family? No wonder he’s been caught screaming about it. This must be a real wake-up call for someone who’s probably never had to worry about money before.

This whole situation shows the difference between having class and having cash. Meghan may have money, but she’s proving time and time again that you can’t buy class. No amount of expensive rental properties or celebrity friends can give you the natural grace and dignity that Catherine possesses in spades. Catherine connects with people without expensive production value, and when she does engagements or appears in videos, it’s about the cause—not about creating the perfect aesthetic.

And let’s not forget, the show hasn’t even aired yet and it’s already surrounded by controversy. It seems like every project the Sussexes touch ends in drama and negative headlines. At what point do they stop and realize maybe they’re the problem?

Let’s talk about the celebrity friends involved—Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, and others. I wonder if they knew about the $4 million per night rental fee when they agreed to appear. How do they feel about being part of a project that’s already a symbol of excess and poor financial judgment?

The timing of this revelation is also interesting. While King Charles is facing health issues and Catherine is recovering from surgery, here comes Meghan, with yet another headline-grabbing drama. It’s almost as if she can’t stand not being the center of attention, even during a family health crisis.

This whole situation would be comical if it weren’t so sad. It shows just how far removed from reality Meghan has become and how Harry is dragged into these embarrassing situations. Meanwhile, the real Royals are dealing with serious matters, while these two are creating drama over luxury rental properties.

And you know what’s telling? The contrast between how this news is received in the UK versus in Hollywood. In the UK, people are shaking their heads in disbelief, seeing it as just another example of what they’ve always said about Meghan. In Hollywood? Even they think $4 million per night for a cooking show location is excessive.

This is just the latest in a long line of financial decisions raising eyebrows. Remember the baby shower in New York, the private jets, the designer wardrobes? It’s like they’re living in a fantasy world where money is no object—except now reality is starting to bite back.

The reaction from Netflix says it all. They’re a company known for spending big on production, but even they drew the line here. What was Meghan thinking? Did she really think they’d pay whatever bill she handed them?
