Meghan Markle is out as she splits from Netflix and will take complete control of her As Ever jam brand.
This comes months after the streaming giant dropped her lifestyle show amid savage reviews from critics.
The 44-year-old announced a partnership with the company a year ago when it commissioned a new season of her show, With Love, Meghan.
The deal gave Netflix a stake in her As Ever brand, which includes her jam, rosé wine and flower sprinkles.
Insiders claim the Duchess of Sussex thought Netflix was being too ‘cautious’ and wants to ‘go global’, trusting her brand to ‘stand on its own’.
But the abrupt split comes just two months after the streaming giant axed With Love, Meghan, which ran for two series.
The Christmas special attracted scathing reviews from critics, who accused Meghan of being ‘out of touch’ in the ‘tectonically tacky’ show.
Giving ‘With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration’ zero stars out of five, the Daily Mail’s reviewer Annabel Fenwick Elliott called the show ‘unlikeable.’
‘If only she could lean into her waspish, Type A personality – poke a little fun at herself, even – she could just about be endearing, in a Monica-from-Friends sort of way.’
According to DailyMail: ‘As Ever is grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year.
‘We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own.
‘We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.’
