Meghan Markle's Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan' fails to crack streamer's top 300
Meghan Markle's Netflix show has failed to rank among the platform's top 300 most-watched titles between January and June 2025, The Post can confirm. The Duchess of Sussex's eight-part series, titled 'With Love, Meghan,' ranked 383rd with just 5.3 million views since its debut earlier this year — unprecedented numbers for a Netflix original that has been renewed. Newly released figures from the streaming giant show that Markle's series came in at a similar ranking to BBC's 'Peaky Blinders' — which was released in 2014. 6 Meghan Markle's Netflix show has failed to rank among the platform's top 300 most-watched titles between January and June 2025.

While its initial release seemed promising in terms of stats after it shot into Netflix's global top 10 within 24 hours, latest figures show that interest in the series quickly waned after its hype died down. Not to mention, the series was filmed at an $8 million farmhouse not belonging to Markle, has since been bashed by critics and earned lower viewership numbers than her and her husband's 2022 series 'Harry & Meghan' — with IMDB giving it just 3.2 out of 10. 6 The Duchess of Sussex's eight-part series, titled 'With Love, Meghan,' ranked 383rd with just 5.3 million views since its March 4 debut.

Elsewhere, Radio Times columnist Caroline Frost wrote that Markle failed to 'reimagine the genre of lifestyle programming' with her series, while the Telegraph editor Anita Singh said the show is 'an exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs.' The negative reviews were echoed by the Independent's writer Katie Rosseinsky, who gave 'With Love, Meghan' a one-star review and called the series 'queasy and exhausting.' Additionally, the series was slammed by Markle's estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., who took aim at the alleged 'malarkey stories' the duchess shared about her childhood.

'Don't they know my life hasn't always been like this?' she said at the TIME100 Summit in NYC in April, reminding New York Times food writer Julia Moskin in an interview that she was not always married to a prince. 6 Netflix greenlit the series for Season 2 and already filmed the episodes.

‘Blue Bloods' star Bridget Moynahan to appear on premiere of spinoff ‘Boston Blue'
Bridget Moynahan is set to reprise her role as Erin Reagan in the premiere episode of 'Boston Blue', the much-anticipated spinoff of the long-running CBS police drama 'Blue Bloods'. The network confirmed Friday that Moynahan will also direct an episode later in the first season, continuing her behind-the-camera work from the original series. The news was also shared by the lead actor Donnie Wahlberg via his Instagram, who wrote, 'So excited to have my dear friend, and TV sister @bridgetmoynahan, join me for a special guest appearance in the premiere episode of #BostonBlue! (sic).' Her guest appearance will reunite her with Donnie Wahlberg, who returns in the lead role as Detective Danny Reagan. The spinoff series shifts the franchise's setting from New York City to Boston and focuses on Danny's transition to the Boston Police Department, alongside a new cast of characters. 'Boston Blue' will also introduce Sean Reagan, Danny's son, as a new patrol officer in Boston. However, in a surprising move, the role of Sean — played by Andrew Terraciano across nearly the entirety of Blue Bloods' 14-season run — has been recast. Mika Amonsen, known for roles in 'Suits' and 'Reacher', will take over the character. No reason has been given for the casting change, and both CBS and Terraciano have remained silent on the matter. The actor's only public comment was a farewell message shared after filming wrapped in 2024. Joining Wahlberg and Amonsen in 'Boston Blue' are Sonequa Martin-Green as Lena Silver, Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver, Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver, Gloria Reuben as Mae Silver, and Ernie Hudson as Reverend Peters. The Silver family appears set to play a central role in the new drama. Bridget Moynahan's dual contribution — both in front of and behind the camera — underscores CBS's effort to keep a strong link to the original 'Blue Bloods' legacy while introducing fresh stories and perspectives in a new city.

Canadians are using weak passwords at work. You're a hacker's dream target if yours is on this 2025 worst offenders list
Corporate workers can't seem to shake off those Sesame Street songs from the 1990s and it's showing in their passwords. A new study by cybersecurity company Nord Security has found that Canadian corporate employees continue to use weak passwords such as '123456,' 'password' and even 'hockey.' Weak passwords expose individuals and organizations to a host of cybercrimes, since these are easy to guess using brute force attack methods . The report shows alarmingly poor password hygiene by corporate employees, including those in the banking industry. According to the report, ABCDEF is the No. 1 'not-so-secret' password used by employees in the financial sector globally, including those working for financial service providers, fintech platforms, and banks. Dave Lewis, global advisory chief information security officer at Canadian identity security These weak passwords were found being used by finance sector employees for their banking dashboards, accounting systems and corporate email logins among others, the report said. 'Finance is one of the most targeted industries for cybercrime — and yet many of the passwords we found wouldn't pass a basic security audit,' Nordpass said, adding with sensitive financial data on the line, outdated password practices are a major liability. The research has found people's troubling reliance on simple numeric or alphabetical sequences. Here are the top 10 weakest passwords used in the financial sector around the world: In Canada, 12345 still reigns supreme followed by password and qwerty. Passwords 'hockey' and 'welcome' made the list. The lists were compiled by the company's password security team NordPass, in partnership with Nord Security's threat management team NordStellar, from a 2.5 TB database. The information was extracted from various public sources, including those from the dark web, according to the report. Breached and leaked passwords are often collected and posted on the dark web as part of large databases. The data was divided into 11 sectors representing passwords by those working in health care, finance, education and tech. This, according to the researchers, gave them a clearer picture of how organizations from different industries are securing their data. Numerical passwords still top the list of the weakest passwords across different industries all over the world, according to the study. Predictable number sequences like 123456 have topped the list for years and are the easiest passwords to crack, with cybercriminals able to penetrate accounts using this in under one second, according to the report. In every industry, researchers also found users using their email addresses as their passwords. The list also includes other more creative choices like Mikeross69, which according to NordPass is a nod to fans of the 'Suits' TV show. 'Unfortunately, cybercriminals don't need to pass the bar to crack that one,' the company said in a news release. The tech giant's latest security advise urges its users to use passkeys instead that the company The company recommends changing passwords to strong, unique ones using a password manager, enabling multifactor authentication wherever possible, and avoiding password reuse across different accounts. Those looking for a more secure option can switch to passwordless authentication which uses things like fingerprint scans, facial recognition, security keys, or passkeys, said Karolis Arbaciauskas, head of product at NordPass, in an email to Metroland Media. 'By removing passwords from the equation, companies and individuals can drastically reduce the risks of breaches caused by weak or reused passwords. It's a simpler, more secure future and one that's already accessible to everyday users on most major platforms,' he said. Consumers can also go passwordless by enabling biometric logins like Face ID or fingerprint unlock and adopting passkeys that are now widely supported on Apple, Google, and Microsoft platforms.

Prince Harry arranges peace summit with King Charles within weeks – but has no plans to see William
Prince Harry is ready to speak to his estranged father, King Charles, after approving a so-called peace summit between their aides, according to insiders. The Duke of Sussex's press team was seen meeting up with the monarch's communications secretary for a top-secret meeting in London last week. And according to insiders, the 'Spare' author was the one who gave his press reps, Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire, the go-ahead to meet with the cancer-stricken king's secretary, Tobyn Andreae. Advertisement 4 Prince Harry is reportedly ready to speak to his estranged father, King Charles. AP The meeting, which took place at the Royal Over-Seas League — a private members' club just minutes from Clarence House — reportedly saw the trio discuss best steps to mending bridges between both camps, The Sun reports. However, sources told the outlet that a proposal for the Invictus Games founder, 40, to return to the royal fold was not on the agenda. Advertisement Still, it seems as though a royal reconciliation may well be on the cards as Harry is plotting a return to the UK in September for the annual WellChild Awards. His impending arrival on British soil has opened up the prospect of a potential meeting between the pair, which would mark their first in 18 months. 4 The King's communications secretary was seen meeting up with the Duke of Sussex's press team last week. Darren Staples/PA Images/INSTARimages The Post has reached out to Prince Harry's reps for comment. Advertisement Last week's meeting also underscored another element to the rift as the Prince and Princess of Wales's communications team was not in attendance. It was revealed earlier this week that not only Prince William and Princess Catherine's camp were absent, they weren't even told that the meeting was taking place at all. 4 Harry reportedly has no plans to see his estranged brother, Prince William. REUTERS The Post understands that Maines' London dash was officially part of her routine duties. Advertisement Maines, who is the Sussexes' chief of staff and communications director, met with the UK-based communications team, media, stakeholders and senior figures connected to Harry's patronages. The trans-Atlantic trip was part of ongoing planning and engagement. However, sources told The Telegraph that Harry and the 'Suits' alum, 43, were 'frustrated' that the meeting was leaked to the press. The meeting came just weeks after Harry told the BBC that he would 'love a reconciliation' with his estranged father, though he claimed the king 'won't speak' to him. 'There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,' he told the outlet. 4 Prince William and Princess Catherine's team was not told that a meeting was taking place. AP 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious,' the Invictus Games founder said, adding that he has since 'forgiven' them for their many 'disagreements.' While a September meet-up between the father-son duo hasn't been confirmed just yet, it may put the King in a tricky position as he's set to welcome President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle for his upcoming state visit, slated for September 17.
