Meghan Markle has once again found herself in the spotlight—this time, from the sleek and luxurious setting of her high-end kitchen. Equipped with a £15,000 cooker, 600 pans, and 60 chopping boards, it’s the perfect backdrop for her latest Netflix project, With Love, Meghan.
In this new venture, Meghan takes center stage to share a so-called culinary revelation that has left viewers intrigued (and amused): fruit can be arranged in a rainbow. Groundbreaking, right?
Who knew that a simple fruit platter could spark such a reaction? Yet, here we are.
In one of the episodes, Meghan takes on the seemingly Herculean task of assembling a fruit platter. The woman who once graced royal engagements now shares her wisdom on arranging blueberries and strawberries into an artful display. Standing in her lavish kitchen, she explains to viewers, "You don’t have to do a big platter of this. You could do this with one small row for your kids for breakfast." Ah, what a relief! For a moment, the world trembled under the misconception that fruit platters had to be extravagant.
But Meghan doesn’t stop there. She elevates her creation with a dollop of yogurt on the side, representing clouds—because what’s breakfast without a touch of whimsical luxury? She even sprinkles flower petals on top, because, naturally, children everywhere have been begging for edible florals with their morning fruit. Meghan declares that "finding the fun in those moments makes for a really sweet start to the weekend." Of course, this advice comes from a woman whose weekends likely look very different from those of the average working parent, who’s frantically trying to get their kids dressed, fed, and out the door. But sure, let’s all take a moment to find the fun in prepping a rainbow fruit salad on a $60 chopping board.
The internet wasted no time reacting. Chef Cory Vitiello, Meghan’s ex-boyfriend and an actual culinary professional, is reportedly howling with laughter. And who can blame him? Watching someone treat sliced fruit like a revolutionary concept is pure entertainment. Meanwhile, viewers are baffled. "How does she even deserve a show?" one commenter wonders. "This is so basic; I’m getting secondhand embarrassment," says another. Others have pointed out that this is Toast 2.0—a tragic sequel to the time Meghan proudly made avocado toast as if she had reinvented breakfast.
And then there’s Netflix, proudly marketing this as must-see TV. If a fruit platter is the highlight, one can only imagine the mind-numbing content in the full episodes. Hate-watchers may tune in for the cringe factor, but even they might struggle to get through an entire season of Meghan discovering that food comes in different shapes and colors.
At its core, this cooking show isn’t about actual culinary skill. It’s about Meghan’s never-ending quest for admiration. She’s not just making a fruit platter; she’s curating a narrative about how thoughtful and present she is as a parent. And frankly, it’s exhausting. But hey, at least we learned something today: fruit can be colorful, yogurt can look like clouds, and breakfast can be luxurious—if you happen to have a $15,000 stove. What would we do without Meghan Markle?
