Netflix has sent Meghan Markle a memo in the final cut of her With Love, Meghan, holiday special which dropped on the streamer today.

The message is, “we are done,” and the medium is a passing shot of her elderly beagle, Guy, padding mournfully through the frame like a ghost of contracts past.

Guy, you see, died last year. This means that this “holiday special,” which has been touted by Meghan as evidence of her strong and productive ongoing relationship with Netflix, was filmed at the same time as Series One, long before the couple were brutally released from their mega-bucks contract in favor of a first refusal clause.
