Still, it framed her response as focused on celebration rather than retreat. The timing followed her recent visit to Highgrove with Prince Harry and their children.
Meghan Markle determined to celebrate Emmy nod irrespective of the result, per source
According to a HeatWorld report, Meghan Markle received a Daytime Emmy nod. The nod was for “With Love, Meghan,” her lifestyle show. The outlet said it came six months after Netflix dropped the series.
A source claimed she was “beyond excited” and felt “pretty vindicated.” The insider said the show “struck a chord” with “the people that matter.” The source also claimed ratings were “unfairly judged” and “nowhere near as bad.”
Meanwhile, the report said criticism around the nomination had already started in Hollywood. HeatWorld cited the show’s Rotten Tomatoes score as 26%. It also said reviews called the show “queasy,” “exhausting,” and “painfully contrived.”
One PR expert said, “In any normal boardroom, a drop-off that severe means failure.” However, an insider said Meghan saw the complaints as familiar. The source said critics were “simply looking to find fault” with her.
Still, the source claimed the duchess would celebrate either way. The insider said, “She knows the backlash is only going to intensify” before the awards. However, she was “determined not to let it rattle her.”
The source said Meghan had “earned the right to celebrate this moment.” Another line said, “If she takes home the prize on Emmy night, even better.” The insider added she would “make the most of this.” For Meghan Markle, the Emmy nomination became a win she planned to enjoy.
