Meghan Markle’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ Lands on Netflix – But Critics Aren’t Loving It
Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has officially premiered, and critics aren’t holding back.
Marketed as a lifestyle and cooking series, the show follows the 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex as she explores wellness, food, and personal passions—but reviews suggest it misses the mark.

Here’s what critics are saying:
• The Hollywood Reporter: “If this was meant to be Meghan Markle’s answer to Martha Stewart or Joanna Gaines, it lands more as a glossy but ultimately shallow influencer vlog. It’s beautiful to look at, but lacks substance.”
• Variety: “The show seems entirely self-indulgent, focusing more on Meghan’s personal brand than offering anything truly insightful. It’s a missed opportunity to connect with audiences beyond aesthetics.”
• The Guardian: “Toe-curlingly unlovable TV. With Love, Meghan positions itself as a warm and inviting journey into the Duchess’s world, but instead, it’s an overly polished, emotionally distant production that feels more like a PR exercise than genuine entertainment.”
• The Times: “Smug, syrupy, and endlessly spoofable. The show presents an unattainable, hyper-curated lifestyle with little authenticity, making it difficult for most viewers to relate.”
• New York Post: “An exercise in narcissism. Instead of being an engaging lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan feels like watching someone wealthy and out of touch showcase their privileged existence.”
• The Washington Post: “The series is a masterclass in missed opportunities, offering little more than a superficial glimpse into a world that feels both out of touch and insincere.”
Despite the negative reviews, some fans have praised the cinematography and aesthetic, while others have taken to social media to voice their own mixed reactions.
Of note, during episode two, Meghan corrects longtime friend Mindy Kaling, about her name, saying, “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now. You have kids and you go, I share my name with my children. I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name. Our little family now.”
