Critics Are Ready to Hate On Meghan Markle’s New Netflix Show Before the First Episode, But DoThey Have a Point?

The Duchess of Sussex is getting lots of heat about her new lifestyle show.

Critics are Calling Meghan Markle's New Lifestyle Show Fake

Meghan Markle is coming back to television later this month with her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

But while the eight-episode series, which premieres on January 15, is billed as a lifestyle show in which Markle shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips with her celeb pals, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, some critics are already calling out the Duchess of Sussex and the show for being fake and boring.

Meg knows a thing or two about lifestyle content. After all, she did run her own lifestyle blog, The Tig, before marrying a British prince. But most are zeroing in on the fact that “With Love, Meghan” wasn’t taped in her home but is instead set in a rented house with a garden someone else already cultivated.

“What’s authentic about pretending it’s your house (it isn’t), this is your garden (it isn’t), and you have elevated a dish of jam and ice cream by perching a leaf on it (nope). Very strange woman with zero self awareness,” wrote someone in the comments on the Netflix post of the official trailer.

With Love, Meghan' Has Clear Merits, So Why the Hate?

Don’t get us wrong, the trailer scenes of Markle’s dishes look delicious and she is chopping veggies, frosting cakes and getting up close and personal with bees. But a show that features the Duchess in her own kitchen with flour on the countertop and kids running around in the background might be a little more interesting to the masses. After all, the Harry & Meghan docuseries, which went behind the scenes of the couple’s love story and how they eventually dumped their royal duties for life in the United States was the most watched series in the UK in 2022 and one of the most successful projects that came out of their Netflix deal.

“I don’t think anyone is excited by this,” one entertainment executive told The Post. “Everybody in entertainment is sending that ridiculous trailer back and forth, being like … ‘What is this show about? I don’t get it.’”
