Part 4/8:
Part of the fallout from the emergency meeting has seen the axing of notable celebrity cameos that Markle had originally selected for the show. High-profile appearances planned for the series—including those from Oprah Winfrey and Taylor Swift—have been shelved. This decision reflects Netflix's shift towards a more cautious and minimalistic approach in its marketing strategy as they attempt to control the potential damage to their brand.
In addition to removing celebrity appearances, the board has ordered a significant reduction in promotional efforts, opting to withdraw over 60% of commercials and promotional content related to "With Love, Megan." Meghan Markle’s press tour has also been truncated, diminishing any hopes for a strong promotional push leading up to the premiere.
