Meghan Markle was 'used' by Netflix to drum up publicity for Guy Ritchie's series 'The Gentlemen', her friends claim

Friends of the Duchess of Sussex have turned on Netflix, accusing the streaming giant of exploiting her name to sell a show. Their target is 'The Gentlemen', the series from director Guy Ritchie. The row follows a day of speculation linking Meghan Markle to the programme. Her camp insists the buzz served Netflix's marketing push, not her.

Speculation about the Duchess of Sussex and 'The Gentlemen' began circulating a day earlier.

Her friends say the streamer exploited that chatter to promote Ritchie's series.
