Meghan Markle’s alleged plan to renew their vows with Prince Harry reportedly drew new backlash before their eighth anniversary. The Duchess of Sussex was said to be considering a reality-style project around the personal milestone. The idea emerged as the couple continued to build media ventures in California after stepping away from their royal duties in 2020. Critics reportedly viewed the concept as “tone-deaf,” especially when a private marital moment was polished into content.
Meghan Markle slammed by critics over turning vow renewal into content, per source
According to a RadarOnline report, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly discussed a vow-renewal project. The couple married on May 19, 2018, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. However, one insider said the idea risked “blurring the line between authenticity and performance.” The source added that a vow renewal was usually intimate. Yet, making it a project centerpiece felt like “a calculated production.”
The report also claimed critics were questioning the commercial angle behind the alleged plan. Another source said the format had struck some as “overly commercial and lacking in sensitivity.” Meanwhile, an insider claimed Markle saw “enormous narrative potential” in the moment. The source said it was not only about renewing vows. Instead, it could help shape her story and show “resilience and unity.” That framing kept Prince Harry close to the brand discussion.
The outlet also tied the idea to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s 2023 vow renewal. Kris Jenner officiated that ceremony, while Brandi Carlile performed. At the time, DeGeneres told de Rossi, “I love you, I adore you.” She added, “You save me every day.”
Separately, Meghan Markle recently joked about a vow renewal during her Australia visit. After receiving an “Aussie Bum” swimsuit, she said it was for “the love of my life.” She then joked that Prince Harry “might renew our vows” wearing it. For now, one TV figure said the issue was intention, not celebration. They said turning something symbolic into content raised questions about the relationship and the brand.
