Meghan Markle Named ‘Most Disappointing’ Celebrity of 2025 by Toronto Newspaper, Despite Once Living There

Meghan Markle took the crown as the “Most Disappointing” celebrity of the year, according to the Toronto Star.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, has a long history with the Canadian city where she lived while filming her hit series, Suits.

The former royal was geared up to have a major year with the premiere of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, and her Martha Stewart-esque brand, As Ever.

However, in an opinion piece published on Tuesday, December 30, reporter Patricia Treble claimed Meghan’s year “slowly deflated as each project failed to deliver as expected.”

According to Treble, “There’s no sign of a second season for her podcast. Netflix hasn’t officially renewed her show on the eve of its one-off holiday special. It also ended the exclusive and very lucrative five-year deal with the Sussexes, instead opting for a frugal ‘first peek’ deal. As of now, no new projects have been greenlit. Her As Ever homewares site has just 15 items for sale, ranging from $12 (U.S.) raspberry spread to a $35 Sauvignon Blanc (to customers only in the continental U.S.).”

As the world knows, Meghan and husband Prince Harry stepped down as senior working members of the British Royal family in January 2020 before relocating to California to raise their family.

Now, nearly six years later, Treble claims, “Meghan wants everyone to know and acknowledge that she’s royal, without the obligations of working on behalf of the monarch, including all those endless engagements for worthy causes.”
