Backlash for Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series exposed.
Meghan Markle is facing a viral backlash just days before the premiere of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
Meghan’s new Netflix series unveiled.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share the trailer for her long-awaited lifestyle show, but the reaction was far from what she expected.
Meghan, 43, had gushed about her excitement to share the show, which focuses on cooking, gardening, and crafting, saying, “I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.”
The premise of With Love, Meghan revolves around the Duchess hosting guests like Mindy Kaling, cooking in her Montecito kitchen, and sharing personal tips on simple pleasures.
Netflix’s official synopsis paints the series as a celebration of “life’s little joys” and the value of connecting with loved ones.
Meghan herself emphasizes that the show isn’t about achieving perfection but about finding happiness in life’s simplest moments.
In a preview, Meghan explains, “We’re not in the pursuit of perfection, we’re in the pursuit of joy.”
The series also delves into Meghan’s personal growth, including her newfound interest in beekeeping.
Meghan, never one to shy away from new experiences, embraces the hands-on hobby in full beekeeping gear during a segment of the show.
Guests in Meghan’s new series profiled.
The Duchess invites stars like Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, Alice Waters, and even her husband Prince Harry to share tips and anecdotes.
In one clip, Kaling remarks, “This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life,” as Meghan serves her a slice of Victoria Sponge cake.
The show’s guest list features more than just famous names; Meghan’s closest friends like Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and polo wife Delfina Blaquier make appearances.
Among those joining the Duchess in her kitchen or garden are longtime pals like her makeup artist Daniel Martin, who has known Meghan for over a decade.
Daniel played a significant role in Meghan’s life, even helping with her makeup on her wedding day to Prince Harry.
The series also highlights Meghan’s connections to the wider world, including literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and beauty mogul Vicky Tsai, founder of Tatcha.
These guests lend a touch of glamour and gravitas to the show, offering their own expert advice while enjoying Meghan’s hospitality.
Meanwhile, the series is expected to delve into the emotional bonds Meghan has forged with her inner circle, including her best friend Kelly McKee Zajfen.
Kelly, co-founder of Alliance of Moms, has praised Meghan for providing invaluable support after a personal tragedy.
Support for Meghan’s project highlighted.
Meghan’s show has found some supporters, with some calling it “the perfect escape” from the mundane.
Some fans expressed their excitement, calling the announcement “the best news” they had received this year.
“We are being fed so much since the New Year,” one fan gushed. “Can’t wait for Meghan’s cooking and gardening show!”
Another fan even declared they would re-subscribe to Netflix just to watch With Love, Meghan.
Response to Meghan’s new series revealed.
However, the negative comments flooded social media as viewers expressed their concerns over the show’s tone.
With the comments disabled on her Instagram post, disgruntled fans took their frustrations to X (formerly Twitter).
One user bluntly wrote, “Uh no thanks,” while another said, “Oh god this looks terrible.”
“Rather watch paint dry,” someone else added, echoing the growing disappointment.
Many users labeled the Duchess as a “privileged individual” for presenting recipes and crafts that seem out of touch with current economic realities.
One particularly critical commenter questioned the target audience, asking if it was meant for “women with tons of money and time on their hands making extremely fussy treats.”
The backlash didn’t stop there, with more fans slamming the “entitled” nature of the show’s content, like ice cubes with flowers and expensive craft ideas.
Some royal fans weren’t shy about voicing their displeasure, calling the upcoming series “terrible” and “entitled.”
The conflicting opinions highlight the tension surrounding the series, as it seems to draw equal measures of disdain and anticipation.
As the premiere of With Love, Meghan looms on January 15, fans and critics alike are bracing themselves for what could be one of the most talked-about Netflix shows of the year.
