Meghan Markle has been publicly criticised by Comedian Katherine Ryan, despite the Canadian previously defending her.
Speaking on her podcast “Telling Everybody Everything” yesterday, Ryan accused the Duchess of Sussex of lying about whether she knew who Prince Harry was before they met.
The 41-year-old Canadian-born comedian said: “I liked Meghan Markle. I was rooting for Meghan Markle… though she is very Hollywood – even for me – and I don’t like that in people.”
This marks a significant shift from 2022, when Ryan praised Markle’s “confidence to challenge the norm” within the Royal Family.

Ryan detailed inconsistencies in Meghan’s personal stories on her podcast.
She said: “I see now, it does feel like she has lied about whether she knew who Prince Harry was, and these details about her childhood change and don’t add up.”
The comedian highlighted contradictions in Meghan’s accounts of her upbringing.
“She said on her new Netflix show that they ate TV dinners growing up. But then in an old interview, she was like, ‘we would eat farm fresh’.”

Ryan added: “Her whole act just seems very manicured and very forced.”
She believes Meghan “likes cosying up to celebrities” and enjoys her royal status.
Ryan was particularly critical of Meghan’s Netflix show “With Love, Meghan”.
She said: “I have seen this from chefs – they like to put wild flowers on a meal. And I’m not about it. I also don’t think it constitutes an entire cooking show.”

The comedian described Meghan’s show as “too manicured, too beige”.
Ryan also criticised Meghan’s decision to adopt the Sussex surname, adding: “I think less of women who change their name anyway, to match their husband’s name. Let’s be honest about why you’re choosing Sussex. It’s a way to hang on to the Duchess of Sussex.”
The Duchess of Sussex has since announced a second series of ‘With Love, Meghan’, which will air later this year.
One fan wrote: “Meghan’s Netflix show is hands down one of the best series out there right now. It’s refreshing, beautifully curated, and full of heart.
“What makes it stand out is its intentionality, every detail, every conversation, and every experience she shares feels meaningful. It’s not just a show about aesthetics; it’s about creating moments, fostering connections, and making people feel special.”
