Not long after Meghan Markle posted news of her Netflix series on Instagram, some royal fans seemed to issue the same complaint: ‘This looks terrible.’ The Duchess of Sussex, 43, said she was ‘so excited’ to tell her followers about the show, With Love, Meghan – but some took to X to call the former actress ‘entitled’ for cooking meals that ‘nobody can afford right now’. The long-awaited lifestyle series, which fans were promised when lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard was first teased last March, will launch on January 15.
The trailer shows the Duchess cooking in a Montecito kitchen, picking produce from her garden, and chatting with famous friends including Mindy Kaling, while The Lovin’ Spoonful’s Do You Believe in Magic plays over the top. Posting the trailer on her Instagram account, Meghan wrote: ‘I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.’
As the comments have been turned off on her Instagram post, fans have taken to X to share their hesitation about the upcoming Netflix series. ‘Uh no thanks,’ one user put rather bluntly. Another wrote on the social media platform: ‘Oh god this looks terrible.’
A third commented: ‘Hard pass’ with a laughing face emoji. ‘Rather watch paint dry’, someone else added. Others described the Duchess as a ‘privileged individual’ for making food that ‘nobody can afford right now’. One particularly disgruntled X user said: ‘Who is the target audience?? Women with tons of money and time on their hands making extremely fussy treats and crafts?’
While some royal fans questioned the point of the series and slammed Meghan’s lack of self-awareness, others could not hide their excitement. Some even went as far to say that the announcement had ‘made their day’. ‘We are being fed so much since the New Year,’ one said. ‘Such great news! I cannot wait to watch Meghan’s cooking and gardening / lifetime show!’
The same Sussex fan added that they could not wait ‘for subsequent seasons’ of the show. ‘You have made my day,’ another person wrote on the social media platform. ‘2025 can only get better.’
One superfan said they would be re-subscribing to Netflix thanks to Meghan’s new series. Describing the series in an official synopsis, Netflix says: ‘In With Love, Meghan, we join Meghan in the kitchen, garden — and even at the beehive — as she prepares to host friends both old and new.’
Sharing some of her favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, crafting, and more, Meghan reveals how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together. Whether it’s preparing take-home gifts for guests or adding a sprinkle of edible flowers to breakfast, it’s truly the thought that counts.’
Speaking in the trailer, Meghan says: ‘I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.’
One of the Duchess’s first guests is long-time friend and recipient of American Riviera Orchard jam, Mindy Kaling, who appears in a snippet in the trailer, saying: ‘What! This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.’
Meghan also speaks about ‘making new friends’ and learning new skills – such as beekeeping. In each episode, Meghan invites friends old and new to roll up their sleeves and join her in the kitchen, or garden, as they share candid conversations and top tips.
As well as Mindy, Prince Harry and chefs Roy Choi and Alice Waters also make appearances. Meghan also welcomes some of her closest friends, from Suits co-star Abigail Spencer to her ‘sister’ and ‘fellow polo wife’, Delfina Blaquier, wife to the Duke of Sussex’s pal Nacho Figueras.
Meghan, 43, also speaks about learning new skills, including beekeeping, and dons the full gear in a clip. Professional polo player Nacho was the first of the Figueras family to feature in a Netflix series from the Sussexes, after starring in Netflix’s Harry & Meghan, as well as the Duke’s Polo show.
Meghan’s make-up artist Daniel Martin, who is often described as the mother-of-two’s best friend, also featured in the trailer for the Duchess’ new programme. Daniel is believed to have known Meghan for over a decade, having met her while the former actress worked on Suits.
The series also features celebrated literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Harry and Meghan’s multi-millionaire neighbor Vicky Tsai, who sold her beauty brand Tatcha to Unilever in 2019 for a reported $500 million. They’re joined on the show by Tracy Robbins. Mrs. Robbins and her husband Paramount boss Brian Robbins are friends with the Sussexes and invited them to the Bob Marley film premiere in Jamaica in January.
Conclusion:
Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has sparked a mixed reaction from royal fans, with some expressing excitement and others criticizing the Duchess for what they see as an entitled attitude. The series, which launches on January 15, promises to showcase Meghan’s favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, and more, as well as her special guests, including Mindy Kaling and Prince Harry.
