You've probably heard about Meghan Markle's new Netflix cooking show, which is supposedly going to revolutionize the industry. But let's be honest—we've seen this before. Yet another attempt to cash in on royal connections. However, what’s really making waves today isn’t just another vanity project from Meghan. It’s the scathing criticism from someone with real royal connections—Tamara Beckwith.
For those who don’t know, Beckwith isn’t just any commentator. She’s a close friend of the York family—yes, that includes Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie. And let’s just say she didn’t hold back. In fact, when asked about Meghan’s new show, her response was brutally direct: “I won’t be watching any of it.” Short, sharp, and straight to the point. Why waste precious time on something like this?
Now, let’s not forget who Tamara Beckwith is. She co-founded The Lady Garden Foundation alongside Sarah Ferguson, which means she moves in the same circles as the working royals—the ones who actually serve the British public without constantly complaining. Beckwith’s criticism carries weight, and her frustration with Meghan isn’t new.
What really struck a chord with me was Beckwith’s sheer disgust over that infamous moment from Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries. You know the one I’m talking about. That blatant display of disrespect left so many of us stunned. I remember watching it and feeling physically sick. And Beckwith didn’t mince words: “I don’t understand how you can disrespect my Queen.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. That moment exposed Meghan’s true attitude toward the royal family, and frankly, it was appalling.
But Beckwith didn’t stop there. She landed another brutal blow: “It’s just dreadful. And she’s dreadful.” Ouch. When someone starts with, “I don’t want to be mean, but...” you know they’re about to drop some serious truth. And she certainly did.
Meanwhile, let’s take a moment to appreciate the stark contrast between Meghan and the real royals. Catherine, Princess of Wales, has handled her recent health struggles with grace and dignity, while Prince William continues to support his wife, fulfill his royal duties, and raise their children. That’s what real character looks like. On the other hand, Harry and Meghan seem to be permanently chasing the spotlight, selling family secrets, and somehow still playing the victims. It’s exhausting to watch.
Isn’t it telling that even Princess Eugenie, who has remained on good terms with the Sussexes, hasn’t publicly acknowledged Meghan’s new show? That silence speaks volumes.
And let’s not forget the biggest tragedy in all of this: what’s happened to Prince Harry. Once the fun-loving prince who charmed the nation and founded the Invictus Games, he now seems a shadow of his former self—constantly tense, caught up in endless grievances, and fully immersed in the Hollywood bubble. It’s painful to see.
What makes Beckwith’s comments particularly significant is that they come from someone who understands the royal world from the inside. She’s not just another random critic—she’s deeply connected to the monarchy and knows these people personally. That’s why her words carry so much weight.
Unsurprisingly, the early reactions to With Love, Meghan have been lukewarm at best. The British public sees through the façade. We recognize authenticity when we see it—and this? It just doesn’t pass the test.
King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William are reportedly unimpressed, and honestly, can you blame them?
