Meghan Markle's former ally claims she lied about not knowing Prince Harry: 'Manicured and very forced'

Katherine Ryan believes that Meghan Markle appeared “manicured and very forced” in her latest Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

The 41-year-old Canadian comedian, who previously strongly supported the deposed royal, seems to have shifted her perspective after watching the Duchess of Sussex’s new 8-part cooking series.

On her podcast “Telling Everybody Everything,” the star of “Glitter Room” expressed her change of heart, stating, “I used to admire Meghan Markle. I was on her side… However, she comes across as overly Hollywood – even for my taste – and that’s something I don’t appreciate in individuals.”

She further commented, “It seems to me now, perhaps due to the type of projects she’s involved in, that she may have been untruthful about her prior knowledge of Prince Harry, and her accounts of her upbringing appear inconsistent and questionable.”

Ryan, who released a series of stand-up specials on the streamer throughout her career, noted that there are some discrepancies in Markle’s stories about her childhood.

“She said on her new Netflix show that they ate TV dinners growing up,” she said, referring to the claim Markle made, which was later slammed by her estranged brother as “malarkey.”

“But then in an old interview, she was like, ‘We would eat farm fresh.’ Her whole act just seems very manicured and very forced,” Ryan added.

The “In Trouble” comedian added that while she doesn’t see Markle as a “pad person,” she does think the former actress “likes cozying up to celebrities and she wants the hundred million dollar deal and she likes the fact that she’s married to a prince.”

“Of course. But I would rather someone lean into that and be like, oh my God, I used to be on ‘Suits’ and now I’m married to a prince,” she said. “I would rather that than this act of: Oh, I’m just so humble.”

Despite being released last week, Markle’s series has already been greenlit for Season 2 by Netflix.

“People are hate-watching it though,” Ryan said in response to its streaming success. “Who knows what Netflix are doing? They are smart — whether they love something or hate something, whatever keeps them watching more episodes.”

“If this was Netflix’s intention, to be like, let’s throw Meghan under the bus where even people who really liked her are turning… not against her, but… she just doesn’t seem to be the kind of gal I would want to be friends with. It’s too manicured, it’s too beige.”

In the series, Markle scolded her pal Mindy Kaling for calling her Meghan Markle — revealing that her last name is now “Sussex.”

But despite Markle’s claim of changing her surname to have it match her children’s, Ryan believes there’s another reason.

“Let’s be honest about why you’re choosing Sussex,” Ryan said. “It’s a way to hang on to the Duchess of Sussex.”

The comedian previously defended the former working royal back in 2022 after Markle and her husband released a series of tell-all projects about life in the palace.

“I love Meghan Markle’s voice and her confidence to challenge the norm and what’s expected of her in that role,” Ryan said at the time.
