Katherine Ryan Clarifies Meghan Markle Comments After Claiming She’d Been ‘Weaponised’ Online

Comedian Katherine Ryan, previously a vocal supporter of Meghan Markle, has recently expressed doubts about the Duchess’s authenticity, particularly in her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.” In a recent episode of her podcast, “Telling Everybody Everything,” Ryan described Meghan’s portrayal as “manicured and very forced,” highlighting inconsistencies in her narratives about her past and initial acquaintance with Prince Harry.

Ryan, who once defended Meghan against public criticism, now questions the sincerity of her public persona. She pointed out contradictions in Meghan’s accounts of her upbringing and challenged the claim that she was unaware of Prince Harry’s identity before their meeting. Ryan also criticized the polished nature of the Netflix series, suggesting it lacks genuine authenticity.

Despite her critiques, Ryan acknowledged Meghan’s success, speculating that Netflix might be leveraging her polarizing image to boost viewership. She emphasized that while she doesn’t view Meghan as a bad person, the overly curated portrayal makes it challenging for audiences to connect with her on a personal level.

This shift in perspective from a former ally adds to the ongoing public discourse surrounding Meghan Markle’s media presence and the authenticity of her narratives.
