With Love, Meghan: Unanswered Questions Surrounding the Royal Couple’s New Life and the Success of Their Show | UK News
Watching Meghan “With Love” was like scrolling through social media reels showcasing all those delightful activities you’ve always wanted to do but never have time for, such as baking, decorating, and making handmade gifts. She truly embodied the role of a devoted hostess.
In just the first episode, she was busy crafting bath salts for a friend, frosting a cake, cooking pasta, and making candles. By 8:30 a.m., I was already feeling worn out.
This was the Duchess of Sussex‘s opportunity to give us a glimpse into her new life… well, at least partly, as we saw her apiaries, though not her home.
Watching from across the ocean, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the presentation seemed tailored more for an American audience.

The immaculate presentation of the food and floral designs, coupled with the overly sweet delivery, isn’t typically our style.
However, that doesn’t mean it won’t resonate. Just take a look at the success of social media profiles dedicated to this aspirational way of life.
And let’s not forget that regardless of public opinion, there will be a strong audience for a project that has garnered so much publicity.
Throughout the eight 30-minute episodes featuring a range of friends and celebrity chefs, Meghan appeared happier and more vibrant than ever.

This is no Oprah interview
It certainly feels worlds apart from other significant TV moments the couple has experienced in recent years, such as the Oprah interview and the somber tone of their Netflix documentary discussing their departure from royal life.
Gentle questions from her friends about her previous lifestyle blog, The Tig, or her upbringing, seem designed to help Meghan reflect on her past, while references to Harry and their children allow her to share about family life today.

Don’t call her Meghan Markle
Despite the lingering negativity surrounding her royal past, don’t refer to her as Meghan Markle anymore. She lightly admonishes a friend for that, stating, “you know I’m Sussex now”.
Interestingly, this week marks five years since they last performed their official royal duties before departing for Canada.
Nonetheless, we are left pondering how their new chapter is unfolding, especially as this Netflix collaboration is crucial for their financial success.
