Meghan Markle completely distancing herself from Prince Harry to prove 'all those naysayers wrong'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle is reportedly looking forward to making it a point with her upcoming Netflix show that she can be an unstoppable force all by herself without the help of Prince Harry.
A source recently told Women’s Day that after the success of the Duchess of Sussex’s 'With Love, Meghan' trailer, she is reportedly determined to "make it work" without her husband.
Meghan Markle determined to prove all those naysayers wrong
A month after Netflix dropped the trailer for Meghan Markle’s show, it has gained over 1.9 million views, whereas Prince Harry's 'Polo' trailer is still languishing at just a little over 200,000 views.
The disparity between the views made the Duchess of Sussex apparently feel like "she's an unstoppable force."
"She’s determined this is going to be the year that she proves all those naysayers wrong, especially Harry," shared the insider.
They added, "She does blame his family for everything that’s gone wrong in her world, and if she can make a success out of her lifestyle brand and TV show – on her own, without Harry – it will prove it’s not her that’s the problem."
The insider claimed that though there have been criticisms regarding the show, which is scheduled to drop next week on March 4, with many calling it "tone deaf," Meghan isn't bothered at all.
"Meghan’s blithely ignoring the haters of her trailer. In her mind, these are simply Kate and William’s extreme loyalists who will troll her no matter what," the tipster noted.
That’s the reason why "she’s determined to be the highest-rating Netflix show of the year and is already working on more lifestyle content."
Meghan Markle plans to use her Instagram as a 'surrogate' TV channel
The source also shed light on Meghan Markle's comeback to Instagram after a hiatus of five years.
While the former actress ran a joint Instagram channel with her husband before stepping down from their royal roles, she largely kept herself away from social media for years.

The 43-year-old made a comeback on Instagram at the beginning of this year and has since been posting teasers of her upcoming show, along with giving snippets of her family life with her husband and their two children - Archie and Lilibet.
Reflecting on her account, the insider noted, "Meghan’s going to use Instagram as her surrogate TV channel. She knows she’s on thin ice with Netflix, so she needs to build up a following on there."
They noted that the As Ever founder would also use it to relaunch her podcast 'Archetypes'.
"She’s considering other platforms, but she likes the control you get from Instagram. It’s the home of influencers – but she prefers the term 'tastemaker,'" added the mole.
