Is "With Love, Meghan" Just Another Glossy Facade?
So, Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight, this time with her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan . The idea? A lifestyle series that gives us a peek into her world of entertaining, cooking, and home decor. But does it really deliver on that promise, or is it just another carefully curated, overly polished version of reality?
First off, let’s talk about the setting. Despite living in a $15 million estate in Montecito—complete with sprawling gardens, a pool, and even a tennis court—Meghan doesn’t actually film in her own home. Instead, the show is shot at a rental property nearby, designed to look just as aesthetically pleasing. She’s been open about this choice, explaining that her home is a “safe haven” for her family, and honestly, that makes sense. But it does add to the ongoing question: how much of Meghan’s brand is truly authentic?

The show itself follows the typical celebrity-in-the-kitchen format, with guests like Mindy Kaling and celebrity chefs dropping by to cook, chat, and praise Meghan’s domestic skills. She whips up dishes, arranges flowers, and even gives tips on making homemade bath salts. It’s all very… polished. The vibe is aspirational, Pinterest-perfect, and, at times, almost too put together. Meghan proudly wears a mix of Zara and high-end brands like Loro Piana, making sure to keep things relatable—but only just enough.
And that’s the issue many people are pointing out. There’s no denying that Meghan is charming and poised, but the show feels more like a controlled PR project than a genuine glimpse into her life. Compared to Martha Stewart’s unfiltered expertise or the raw honesty that made Oprah’s interviews legendary, With Love, Meghan seems to lack depth. It’s pleasant, sure. But does it really tell us anything new about Meghan Markle, beyond her ability to create an aesthetically pleasing brunch?
The irony is that, for a couple who stepped away from the royal family in search of authenticity and freedom, their media projects often feel just as carefully managed as any Buckingham Palace event. Meghan clearly has an eye for beauty, a love for hospitality, and an ambition to build her lifestyle brand. But With Love, Meghan might leave viewers wanting something more real, something more… Meghan.
