The reviews for With Love, Meghan are officially in, and they’re about as pretty as a car crash on the M25. With an abysmal 11% score on Rotten Tomatoes, even reality shows about people living in the woods are faring better. But here’s where it gets juicy: instead of owning up to her spectacular flop, Meghan is reportedly blaming none other than her husband, Prince Harry.
According to some intriguing blind items making the rounds, Meghan is allegedly telling anyone who will listen that Harry is the reason her show tanked. The audacity! This is her show—her name is plastered all over it as the executive producer. Harry barely makes an appearance, shuffling in for about two minutes in the final episode, looking like a man who’s forgotten his own name.
Let’s be real here—I’ve suffered through all eight episodes of this beige nightmare so you don’t have to (you’re welcome). The show is being torn apart by critics. The Irish Times called it “so beige and bland it doesn’t even qualify as a hate watch.” Variety, the Hollywood Bible, labeled it a “monotonous ego trip not worth taking.” Even The Guardian, which usually bends over backward to praise anything progressive, described it as “sensationally absurd.”
And let’s talk about that bath salts episode. Meghan shared a recipe that experts are warning could burn your skin off. Imagine being so desperate to appear relatable that you accidentally tell your audience to harm themselves. You can’t make this stuff up!
What really stands out is how utterly unrelatable the entire show is. Meghan prances around her Montecito mansion, with staff just off-camera, telling us peasants how to be the perfect hostess. Meanwhile, most of us are just trying to make it through the workweek with enough energy to heat up a frozen pizza. Who has time to hand-press flowers into homemade paper?
The numbers don’t lie, either. Netflix posted about the show and garnered over 115,000 views but only 3,500 likes. That ratio speaks volumes—people aren’t just uninterested; they’re actively turning away
While Meghan is busy blaming Harry for her failures and trying to convince us she’s Martha Stewart meets Oprah, we’ve got Catherine, Princess of Wales, quietly battling cancer with dignity and grace. Prince William is standing by her side, supporting her while still carrying out his royal duties. King Charles, also dealing with cancer, is putting the country first, and Queen Camilla is stepping up magnificently. That’s what real royalty looks like—service, dignity, and putting others before yourself.
Compare that to Meghan, who seems to think being royal means being served rather than serving. The contrast couldn’t be more striking.
Poor Harry. Once the fun royal who genuinely connected with people during his military service and charity work, he’s now a shadow of his former self. In the few moments he appears on screen in Meghan’s show, he looks like a shell of the man he used to be. That spark is gone from his eyes, and everything feels forced and rehearsed.
It’s heartbreaking to watch, especially when you remember how beloved he once was. He gave up everything—his family, his country, his purpose—for Meghan, and now he’s being used as the fall guy for her latest disaster.
The Netflix deal is reportedly on shaky ground after this disaster. The Spotify deal has already collapsed, and Harry’s book revenue stream is drying up. Their foundation hasn’t been making headlines for its charitable work, and their brand value seems to be declining by the day. It’s hard to see where they go from here.
Meanwhile, the working royals continue to demonstrate what service really means. They don’t need to tell us they’re making a difference—we can see it in the causes they support, the people they help, and the stability they provide during uncertain times.
As for Harry and Meghan, I genuinely hope they find whatever it is they’re looking for. But I also hope they realize that fame without purpose is hollow, wealth without meaning is empty, and no amount of designer clothes or million-dollar mansions can replace the satisfaction of a life well-lived in service to others.
