Meghan Markle began promoting her new series, With Love, Meghan, on Thursday, January 2, but the Duchess of Sussex was instantly criticized for not filming the lifestyle show at her California mansion.
“It is a load of nonsense. I mean, because it’s all totally fake, isn’t it?” GB News presenter Stephen Dixon asked.
“It’s not her house, it’s not her kitchen,” he pointed out. “She clearly doesn’t spend her days picking strawberries and collecting honey from bees. I mean, the whole thing is just a fabrication, it’s Netflix fantasy, isn’t it?”
Despite Dixon’s criticisms, Meghan has a documented history of sharing her love of food with fans. She ran The Tig for several years before marrying Prince Harry. One of Meghan’s first projects as a royal was working with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen on a 2018 cookbook.
“But this is Meghan’s dream come true, isn’t it?” correspondent Cameron Walker explained to Dixon.
“Before she even met Prince Harry, her passion was sharing recipe tips, lifestyle wellness techniques because she had a blog. Quite a successful blog actually called The Tig,” Walker continued.
Due to becoming a working royal, Meghan stepped away from her personal Instagram, The Tig, Suits and other aspects of her life. Though she retired from acting in 2017, the mom-of-two returned to Instagram on Wednesday, January 1, and released the trailer for With Love, Meghan the following day.
“Of course, that had to be shut down when she became a working member of the royal family,” Walker stated, referring to how Meghan left behind social media.
“We all know the turmoil that happened with ‘Megxit,’ now that her and Harry have come out the other side of that and have signed multi-million-pound deals with Netflix and others, this is the proof in the pudding, pardon the pun,” he added.

previously reported Meghan celebrated the project in an Instagram post.
“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it,” the Duchess of Sussex wrote in an Instagram caption on Thursday, January 2. “Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support — and fun! As ever, Meghan.”
Meghan’s comments section is currently disabled, but fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their excitement.
“I can’t wait!! I loved her blog so much so this feels so nostalgic I can’t wait to see what else she does this year,” one X user wrote.
