Shortly after Meghan Markle shared news about her Netflix series on Instagram, some royal fans voiced a similar criticism: “This looks awful.”
The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex expressed her excitement about revealing her new show, With Love, Meghan, but some social media users on X felt she was “entitled” for preparing meals that “nobody can afford right now.”
The highly anticipated lifestyle series, which was first hinted at when the American Riviera Orchard brand was introduced last March, will premiere on January 15.
The trailer features Meghan cooking in her Montecito kitchen, harvesting from her garden, and chatting with celebrity friends like Mindy Kaling, all while Do You Believe in Magic by The Lovin’ Spoonful plays in the background.
On her Instagram post with the trailer, Meghan wrote, “I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.”
Since comments were disabled on her Instagram, fans took to X to express their doubts about the series.
“Uh no thanks,” one user bluntly commented. Another wrote, “Oh god this looks terrible.”
A third said, “Hard pass,” followed by a laughing emoji, and another added, “Rather watch paint dry.”

Some criticized the Duchess of Sussex for her cooking and crafting series, calling her a “privileged individual” making food that is inaccessible to most people. One X user questioned the target audience, remarking that the series seemed aimed at wealthy women with plenty of free time.
They also criticized the idea of flowers in ice cubes as an extravagant and “entitled” concept.
However, not everyone shared this view. Some royal fans expressed excitement, with one saying the announcement “made their day” and eagerly anticipating Meghan’s cooking and gardening show.
