Meghan Markle’s Netflix Lifestyle Show Faces Polarized Reactions

The Duchess of Sussex’s series 'With Love, Meghan' receives harsh criticism from UK outlets but finds a warmer reception in the US, with a second season already confirmed.

Meghan Markle's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan,' which debuted on March 4, 2025, has been renewed for a second season despite mixed reviews.
UK critics have been particularly harsh, describing the show as disconnected from current economic realities and overly polished, while US outlets praised its approachable tone and personal charm.
The series blends cooking, lifestyle tips, and glimpses into Meghan's personal life, with Markle emphasizing a 'communal' and imperfect approach to its production.
Online criticism of Meghan continues, with some attributing it to broader societal biases and others pointing to perceived disconnects between her lifestyle and average viewers' realities.
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Markle has pursued various ventures, with 'With Love, Meghan' marking her return to lifestyle content after other projects like Archetypes and The Bench.
