What did Katherine Ryan say?
Ryan talked about the dutchess on her podcast Telling Everybody Everything. “I liked Meghan Markle. I was rooting for Meghan Markle… though she is very Hollywood — even for me — and I don’t like that in people.”
“I see now, and maybe it’s just the projects she’s choosing, it does feel like she has lied about whether she knew who Prince Harry was, and these details about her childhood change and don’t add up,” she added.

Ryan said that she doesn’t think of the former actress as a “bad person,” reported the New York Post. However, she said that she thinks Markle, “likes cozying up to celebrities and she wants the hundred-million-dollar deal and she likes the fact that she’s married to a prince.”
She also talked about the renewal of With Love, Meghan for a second season. “People are hate-watching it, though,” Ryan said.
“Who knows what Netflix are doing? They are smart — whether they love something or hate something, whatever keeps them watching more episodes,” Ryan continued.
