Meghan Markle Would Reportedly ‘Disappear’ During Zoom Meetings With Netflix

Meghan Markle reportedly earned a reputation of going MIA during virtual meetings.

After news broke that Netflix had ended its partnership with Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, Variety released a report claiming that there was “poor communication” and Markle would “disappear” from Zoom meetings when she was unhappy or bothered by things that were said.

“The mood in the building is ‘We’re done,’” a Netflix source told the outlet on Tuesday, March 17. According to the insider, Markle, 44, and her husband, Prince Harry “ruffled feathers in meetings.”

Markle’s attorney, Michael J. Kump, claimed in a letter to Variety that the mom of two — who shares Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, with Harry, 41 — “works from home, is the mother of young children aged 4 and 6, and often encounters (as many parents who work from home do) children who enter the space unexpectedly during a meeting.”

He added, “Independent of being a parent who works from home, Meghan is also conscious of shielding her team from the distraction of children. Nearly all professionals can attest to needing to turn off the audio or camera during a virtual meeting at some point during many hours of virtual business calls.”

In addition to her “poor communication” skills, Daily Mail reported last week that Netflix executives were “not happy with the fact that no one really cared about [Meghan’s] brand.”

“So when they were looking to create As Ever areas in Netflix House there was no appetite for it,” a source told the outlet on March 10. “It just didn’t fit with Squid Game or Stranger Things or Bridgerton like they had hoped.”

According to Variety sources, Netflix’s “divestment” in As Ever has been in the works since the fall.
