A Divisive Netflix Series
The holiday special is part of Markle’s larger Netflix project, “With Love, Meghan,” where she welcomes celebrity friends while showing off her cooking and gardening life in Montecito, California.
Guests in past episodes have included Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, and Mindy Kaling. Despite the star power, the show—now in its second season—has been widely criticized.
Anita Singh of The Telegraph called it “an exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs.”
Katie Rosseinsky of The Independent gave it a one-star review, describing the series as “queasy and exhausting.”
One viewer on X wrote: “‘With Love, Meghan’ is a masterclass in how to waste Netflix money. What do we get? Her pretending to be relatable, and trades banalities with B-list guests like Mindy Kaling. This isn’t a lifestyle show, it’s a 40 minute infomercial for her ego!”
