Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix series could possibly become a hit for the streamer, but regardless of its ratings, the Duchess of Sussex's "royal backstabbing" seems to be all many can think about.

"I wonder how much they paid these so-called celeb nobodies to fake smile around her?" a Hollywood insider dished. "Where's your Dad, Meghan? What, no more royal backstabbing? GTFOH with this AI-looking claptrap."

Meghan Markle has been accused of being 'fake' by countless commentators and analysts over the years.

The pushback the ex-actress has received from both her New Year's Day Instagram return (minus the comment section) and the trailer drop for With Love, Meghan, "is almost too much even feasibly to write about," the source shared.

"We know the backstory," popular YouTube commentator PDina explained. "This is supposed to be the humanitarian? This is so well-controlled, so very Hollywood, and not very relatable. [This] will be a true indicator of how much people don't approve of her."

"Everything we know about her post-Megxit has been defined by how evil the royals were, and how we all need to give a voice to the voiceless," an X commenter observed.

"Where is that in this pricey, elitist content?" they said in a separate post. "It's in her imagination right along with the so-called royal racists and how her ailing father and sister are the villains out to destroy her. She is a spoiled, self-entitled and incredibly vindictive shrew of a human being, and it's sad to watch. We see you, Meghan"

As the reluctant HRH plans to "reimagine the genre of lifestyle programming," the ex-actress' "tone deaf, woke Hollywood smorgasbord of dullness" is reportedly the "grand finale" of the duo's controversial deal with the streamer," one Sussex critic stated.

"I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it," the Duchess wrote on her new Instagram. "Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support — and fun! As ever, Meghan."

No comments can be made on the new account — her first in nearly seven years — in what one analyst described as "a move to totally silence the trolls right out of the gate."

On X, one commenter countered this assertion by quipping, "More like cowardice and a way to silence dissent right out of the gate."

The eight-part program is set to feature cameos from Mindy Kaling and others, but observers were quick to notice Prince Harry's presence was "so obviously lacking" in the trailer.

"It really does kinda look like they AI'd him in there," the Hollywood onlooker spilled. "The formatting is also way off. You can tell Netflix threw this s--- together in a hurry to try and recoup something before they kick them to the curb they deserve."

Meghan's new series premieres on the streamer on January 15.
