Meghan Markle is set to face significant disappointment as fans reveal they’re not excited about her upcoming Netflix cooking series, With Love, Megan, which is set to air on January 15th. The Duchess of Sussex had revealed the show would focus on culinary delights, featuring celebrity friends and offering a glimpse into her cooking skills. However, with just days to go until its debut, many fans have already expressed their lack of enthusiasm, with some even sharing alternative activities they’d rather do instead of tuning in.
In a poll conducted by Express UK, which ran from 11:10 AM on January 3rd to 7:15 AM on January 6th, readers were asked if they were excited about Meghan’s new show. The results were overwhelmingly negative: of the 9,720 votes collected, a staggering 98% (9,489 votes) said they were not interested in watching the show. Only 2% (2011 votes) expressed excitement for the series, while the remaining 30 votes were uncertain.
The comment section saw many fans humorously suggesting they’d prefer to do anything else over watching With Love, Megan. One user wrote, "I’d rather watch paint dry," while another added, "I’d rather stick pins in my eyes or sit and watch paint dry."
Samantha Markle’s Legal Blunder: Prince Harry Mistakenly Called 'Duke of Wales' in Defamation Lawsuit
In a bizarre twist to the ongoing legal drama between Meghan Markle and her estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, a recent defamation lawsuit filed by Samantha contains a significant error. In court papers, Prince Harry was mistakenly referred to as the "Duke of Wales," a title actually held by his brother, Prince William.
Samantha's legal team made the mix-up while pursuing the lawsuit against Meghan, accusing her of defamation. In an interview with Newsweek, Samantha's lawyer, Peter Tickton, seemed unbothered by the error, stating, "To most of us Americans, we couldn’t care less whether the Prince is the Duke of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, or the Duke of Earl."
He further criticized the way American politics might influence Harry's standing in the country, adding that the Duke’s connections could lead to scrutiny over his U.S. immigration records, particularly in light of revelations about his past drug use in his memoir Spare. Political commentator Niles Gardner also pointed out the potential legal complications Harry could face, suggesting that any dishonesty in his immigration application would be a criminal offense that could lead to his removal from the U.S.
Before she and Prince Harry announced their departure from royal duties in 2020, Meghan Markle hinted at her future plans to distance herself from royal tradition during a bombshell interview in 2017. In a conversation with Vanity Fair, Meghan was asked about her relationship with Harry and her role in the royal family. Despite being instructed to keep the details of their relationship private, Meghan shared her feelings openly, confirming their love for each other and expressing how special their bond was.
Meghan said, "We’re a couple, we’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special that it’s just ours." Her candidness reportedly frustrated the Palace, especially given that Harry and Meghan had only just begun their relationship in July 2016.
Meghan Markle recently found herself embroiled in controversy after making a questionable choice in her remembrance attire. During a joint appearance with Prince Harry to discuss children’s safety in the digital world, Meghan wore a poppy that looked noticeably different from the one her husband had chosen. While both were sporting poppies, Meghan’s appeared to be missing the traditional leaves on the stalk, a detail that many observers found to be disrespectful.
Fans were quick to criticize the Duchess for what they perceived as an inconsistency in her display of respect for the Remembrance Day tradition. Despite both Harry and Meghan's public support for various charitable causes, this poppy choice sparked a fresh round of online debate about Meghan’s approach to royal protocols and her public appearances.
