Nobody watches Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show out of respect for her privacy

Millions of people have chosen to honor Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s well-documented plea for privacy by pointedly refusing to watch the Duchess’s new Netflix show. The series, which critics describe as “probably existing,” has remained unwatched—not due to disinterest, but as a profound gesture of respect for the couple’s deeply held desire to be left alone (on the world’s largest streaming platform). “We didn’t even watch the trailer,” one viewer proudly declared. “That felt invasive.”

Netflix executives, initially concerned about the show’s ratings, have since reframed the situation as a moral victory. “This is the first time in entertainment history that a program has achieved a negative viewership score,” said one baffled analyst. “People aren’t just avoiding it—they’re actively looking away when scrolling past.” Fans have taken it one step further by canceling their subscriptions in Markle’s honor, ensuring they don’t accidentally infringe upon her personal space with their gaze.

Meanwhile, the Sussexes remain characteristically private about the show, promoting it only through exclusive sit-down interviews, op-eds, and a 12-part documentary titled The Struggle for Silence. Some speculate that Meghan will address the issue in a new podcast, Please Stop Looking at Me, But Also Listen to This, but until then, the public remains committed to shielding their eyes from her latest project—out of love, of course.
