Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix cooking show *With Love, Meghan* has already become a social media sensation, receiving a major boost just days before its official release. The trailer for the show has amassed impressive viewership numbers, significantly outperforming Prince Harry's recent solo projects.
Since its release, the trailer for Meghan's eight-part lifestyle series has garnered over 1.1 million views on YouTube and 47 million views on X (formerly Twitter) within just four days. These figures easily surpass those of Harry's recent ventures, with his *Polo* series trailer receiving just 195,000 YouTube views and *Heart of Invictus* drawing 214,000 views.
The trailer for *With Love, Meghan* has also generated substantial engagement, receiving 14,000 likes and 38,600 comments on YouTube, although many of the responses have been negative. On X, the show’s trailer accumulated 47 million views and 65,000 likes, while Harry's *Polo* trailer received only 684,000 views, and *Heart of Invictus* managed 1 million views.
Meghan's cooking show has also surpassed many recent Netflix releases in terms of YouTube performance, though it still trails behind *The Night Agent* season 2, which achieved 1.5 million views in 12 days. However, it has already become the most-viewed trailer among the couple's Netflix projects, behind only their original documentary *Harry & Meghan*, which garnered 3.4 million views.
The show’s trailer comes at a pivotal moment for the Sussexes, following several Netflix projects that failed to generate large audiences. The upcoming lifestyle series, set to launch on January 15, promises to offer viewers a fresh take on cooking and entertainment. It has been described as "an inspiring series" where Meghan shares practical tips and personal stories, offering insights into her approach to everyday life.
In a related note, Meghan's poppy choice during a recent joint appearance with Prince Harry has sparked controversy. Meghan's poppy, which lacked the usual leaf design and resembled Canadian poppies, was noted as different from the one Harry wore. This led to criticism, with some calling her choice disrespectful, especially since poppies are traditionally worn in the UK for Remembrance Day. The Sussexes, who stepped down from royal duties in 2020, have not attended the Remembrance Day service since their move to the US.
Additionally, Meghan’s role in Harry’s life continues to be a subject of discussion. A former classmate of Harry’s suggested that Meghan is the perfect partner for him, as Harry always thrived when guided by others. Some speculate that their relationship has changed his perspective, with one biographer suggesting that Harry’s desire to change the world might be more about changing his own world.
As the Sussexes carve out a new life in California, the success of Meghan's show could signal a shift in the dynamics of their public image. Whether it's through *With Love, Meghan* or their ongoing personal journey, the couple continues to capture attention.
