With Love, Meghan… But Not with Love from Viewers!
Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix venture, With Love, Meghan, was meant to be a heartwarming home and lifestyle show filled with cooking, hosting, and personal touches. But instead of winning over audiences, it seems to have left them with a bad taste.
A Royal Recipe for Success… or a Flop?
The eight-part series, which premiered on March 4, follows Meghan as she shares her tips and tricks for entertaining, offering a glimpse into her Montecito mansion lifestyle. She’s joined by celebrity guests like Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer, and renowned chefs Alice Waters and Roy Choi.

But while Netflix hoped to capitalize on her royal-meets-Hollywood charm, the show has been met with mixed reviews—and even outright criticism. Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks, who has cooked for King Charles, admitted the show was “painful to watch” and even turned down the opportunity to be part of it.

Netflix Regrets That £87M Deal?
With Netflix reportedly regretting their £87 million deal with Meghan and Harry, the question remains—why is With Love, Meghan struggling? Critics argue that the content feels forced, the cooking lacks authenticity, and the series seems more about Meghan than meaningful hosting. Even Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, has joined in the backlash.
Despite the lukewarm reception, Netflix has recommissioned a second season, hoping to turn things around. Whether Meghan can change the narrative remains to be seen, but for now, it seems this royal recipe might need a few tweaks.
