"And this is news?" is the question we often see in the comments of news stories about tabloids and pop culture. And, obviously, these aren't news stories that make the front pages of newspapers, but they are issues we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar. And this is what we do in this podcast: we go to a venue to review some news from the social chronicle that serves not only to keep up with the most important gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship, and breakups.

One of Netflix's biggest blunders is the new, mock-documentary series starring Meghan Markle. It's part of the agreements the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed with the platform when the couple seemed to be at the height of their popularity, standing up to the British royal family. It's now obvious that Prince Harry and his wife not only lack any audiovisual criteria, but that everything they can contribute is contrived, vulgar, and offensively classist. Each of the eight episodes of With love, Meghan They could perfectly be Tik Tok videos of anyone tradwife American. Meghan is playing hostess in a grotesque farce. In a house that isn't hers, in a garden that doesn't belong to her, and in a kitchen that looks like a set for a furniture magazine, she pretends to receive some of her friends with great elegance and artificial enthusiasm. Friends trained to suck up to her and behave as Mrs. Sussex expects. She even has the nerve to correct a friend who dares to mention her by name: "No one would have imagined that Meghan Markle once ate at this fast-food..." and the protagonist, with the repulsion of someone claiming a status, makes a clarification: "I find it funny that you call me Meghan Markle. You know that now I am Sussex..." and makes a kind of argument about the importance of sharing the surname with her children and claiming the value of the family.

When the Sussexes decided to flee to the spirit of Buckingham, public opinion was sharply divided. There was no common ground between those in favor of the runaway marriage and those in favor of the rest of Windsor. Both inside and outside the United Kingdom, the weight of both sides was very evenly matched, something that never usually happens because the British royal family always plays with a significant advantage. But the susexito –as the farewell of Enric and Meghan Markle was then called– had been very erosive for the royal family in terms of public opinion. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had suddenly created so many opponents of the Windsors that there were even people who thought it was the biggest crisis in the British monarchy since King Edward VIII abdicated for love, married Wallis Simpson and he went away to live in Paris.

After the media storm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been involved in in recent years, with the revelation of Buckingham Palace's secrets, in 2025 the couple has decided to turn the page and start making money from another source: Meghan Markle's domestic life. This is how the actress and Enric's partner wanted to announce it to the four winds, with the reactivation of her Instagram account, the announcement of the premiere of a new series on Netflix and also the promise of launching a new company. However, her business plan is running into some setbacks. The latest has been the change of name of her future brand, renamed As Ever.
