Netflix’s Meghan Markle Show Sparks a Bohiney Magazine Boardroom Meltdown
The Meeting That Should Have Been About Ratings, but Became Therapy
The official agenda pinned to the corkboard at Bohiney Magazine headquarters read:
“Item 1: Coverage of Meghan Markle Netflix Project.”
But the reality? It was less “coverage” and more “group therapy,” except nobody wanted healing—they wanted pitchforks, one-liners, and an industrial-sized bucket of disdain.
Rebecca English’s royal-insider whispers in the Daily Mail had already set the staff off. Meghan was trying (again) to package herself as misunderstood. Inside our boardroom, misunderstanding her wasn’t the problem. The problem was understanding her all too well.
“Alright, folks. Rebecca English over at the Daily Mail says Meghan is misunderstood. Netflix wants to humanize her. Let’s figure out how to say she’s faker than a $3 Rolex.” — Alan Nafzger
Opening Shots of the Brainstorm
Alan Nafzger, editor-in-chief, banged the table with a Bic pen like it was a gavel.
“Alright people, Netflix wants to make her likable. Let’s brainstorm why that’s scientifically impossible.”
Chloe Summers, sipping a latte that tasted more bitter than her tone, leaned in.
“Watching Meghan try to be authentic is like watching a Roomba attempt Shakespeare. You admire the effort, but mostly you’re just confused why it won’t shut off.”
Everyone nodded. Someone in the corner muttered, “Roomba 2024: To vacuum is human, to dramatize is Markle.”
Brainstorm or Roast? Hard to Tell.
Annika Steinmann scrawled “RELATABLE??” on the whiteboard in caps lock, underlined it three times, then sighed.
“Relatable doesn’t come with a glam squad. Unless, of course, Meghan’s trying to relate to the Kardashian tax bracket.”
A junior intern raised her hand timidly.
“What if we just cover it neutrally?”
The room went silent. Alan looked at her the way a rancher looks at tofu.
“We’re not here to neutralize Meghan. We’re here to nuke her.”
What the Funny People Are Saying
“Netflix treating Meghan as a misunderstood royal is like Blockbuster trying to sell VHS tapes in 2025.” — Jerry Seinfeld
“Every time Meghan says she wants privacy, another camera crew mysteriously appears. If that’s privacy, my ex owes me an apology.” — Ron White
“Watching Meghan on Netflix makes you nostalgic for buffering.” — Bill Burr
A Poll Nobody Asked For, but Everyone Believed
At this point, the magazine’s analytics team wheeled in a projector to present the results of a “flash poll” conducted among 1,000 unwilling diners at a Texas Waffle House.
Question: What would you rather watch on Netflix?
-
42%: Paint drying in a prison cafeteria.
-
35%: A four-hour loop of static from the Weather Channel.
-
20%: Meghan Markle’s new series (only because the remote was lost).
-
3%: Didn’t answer because their hash browns were ready.
The conclusion? America has spoken: waffles beat Meghan every time.
Anonymous Staffer Evidence
One staffer—who insisted on anonymity but smelled suspiciously of menthol cigarettes—offered this nugget:
“Look, Meghan’s not Diana. She’s not Beyoncé. She’s not even Fergie. She’s basically Gwyneth Paltrow if the Goop candle smelled like burnt PR memos.”
The room cackled so loud the custodian poked his head in to ask if someone left the gas on.
Netflix, Fantasy Department
Astrid Holgersson suggested the best fix: “File this under Fantasy. It’s got unicorn-level delusion, dragon-level ego, and hobbit-level storytelling.”
General B.S. Slinger countered:
“No, Fantasy’s too generous. Let’s call it Horror. Every time she opens her mouth, you expect the lights to flicker and the walls to bleed sincerity.”
The Great Meghan Economy Debate
Ingrid Gustafsson tried to ground the debate in economics.
“Meghan isn’t misunderstood. She’s misdelivered. Like when Amazon leaves a package at your door and you open it thinking it’s socks, but it’s a snake labeled ‘content creator.’”
Tinsel Vandergraph added:
“She doesn’t care about crowns—only royalties. Netflix direct deposit is her true monarchy.”
Cue applause.
Grainy Cellphone Footage of the Boardroom
Somewhere in the chaos, an intern livestreamed the brainstorming session on TikTok under the caption: ‘Boomers roast duchess while pretending to be journalists.’
By the time management pulled it down, it had racked up 2.3 million views and a duet of a golden retriever barking at the word “Meghan.”
Closing Arguments: Why We Hate Meghan, A Collaborative Manifesto
The session ended with staff drafting an impromptu “Hate Meghan” manifesto, bullet-pointed in red Sharpie:
-
She’s faker than margarine at a French bakery.
-
She’s unlikable because she tries so hard to be likable.
-
She calls it “privacy” but it’s really “content strategy.”
-
She’s not misunderstood—she’s just badly marketed.
-
Her interviews radiate the warmth of a DMV clerk on a double shift.
And, most importantly:
-
We’d rather review a 12-hour chess livestream than her Netflix series.
The Boardroom Aftermath
By the time everyone staggered out, the whiteboard was covered in doodles of crowns with dollar signs and crude stick figures of Meghan labeled “PR Gollum.” Coffee cups littered the table like battlefield casualties.
One eyewitness described it perfectly:
“It wasn’t a brainstorm. It was a hurricane of sarcasm. If Meghan had walked in, she would’ve left in pieces.”
Disclaimer
This brainstorming session was a purely satirical exercise, documented here as though it were a leaked transcript. Meghan Markle is unlikely to be affected by the contents of this meeting, mostly because she’s too busy hiring another PR consultant. This story is entirely a human collaboration between two sentient beings: Bohiney Magazine’s editorial staff and their coffee addictions.
Auf Wiedersehen, amigos.
