I Watched Meghan Markle’s Bizarre New Show So You Don’t Have To

I'm not entirely sure exactly what Meghan Markle is going for with her new show, “With Love, Meghan,” but I’m pretty sure few people understand it for the true comedic genius Netflix has graced us with. Styled as part cooking show, part lifestyle show, it’s jampacked with unoriginal ideas and tips you’ve definitely seen on Pinterest before.

Don’t get me wrong — as a living, moving Pinterest board, “With Love, Meghan” delivers a fabulous aesthetic. But much like a Pinterest board, actually replicating any bit of said coastal California aesthetic is likely impossible, without first tracking down actual recipes, more detailed instructions, and someone to bankroll it all while keeping those pesky young children and husband away.


Meghan’s main theme, “with love,” forcefully oozes in every scene. Meghan will show you how much she loves you, like it or not, by creating hamfisted “moments” with random factoids she assuredly had her guests fill out on a questionnaire beforehand.

As a way to launch “the real Meghan” and celebrate a sort of coming out to her real, post-royal life, the series is shot at a rented house, not her sprawling Montecito estate. None of the recipes she does make are her own (they are sourced from Pinterest or blogs whose names we will never know.) She changes outfits no less than 20 times in eight “days” — sometimes three outfits in one morning. We’re treated to lots of stories from Meghan’s past, and life at home, though most are completely nonsensical, and many completely contradictory.
