Meghan Markle in the most ironic way possible! Her highly anticipated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has officially premiered, and let’s just say the reviews are rolling in fast—and they aren’t pretty. The woman who turned her back on the royal family, trashed them on TV, and expected everyone to bow down to her Californian wisdom is now facing some serious backlash.
So, what exactly does this groundbreaking content entail after four years of that multi-million-dollar Netflix deal? Get ready for this—she’s arranging fruit on a plate and calling it a ‘rainbow platter.’ No joke, folks. That’s the level of ‘inspiration’ we’re getting. Not to mention, she’s sprinkling lavender on guest towels as if that’s some revolutionary act of hospitality. Can you imagine Catherine, Princess of Wales, doing something this trivial? Absolutely not. Meghan’s latest venture is being dismissed as nothing more than artificial, staged lifestyle content—a far cry from the impactful work she claims to champion.
The audacity to present herself as a domestic goddess is laughable, especially considering her history. And let’s not even get started on her cringeworthy third-person references to herself as ‘Mama.’ Pretending that this is some wholesome, personal endeavor when it’s clearly just another attempt to stay relevant? It’s beyond transparent.
What makes this entire situation even more absurd is how desperately Meghan is trying to make this show a success. This is the life-changing content she left royal duties behind for? Meanwhile, Prince William and Catherine are out there tackling homelessness, mental health issues, and real-world problems—actual causes that make a difference.
Adding to the spectacle, Prince Harry left a rather questionable comment on one of Meghan’s promotional posts, saying, ‘Congratulations, Mama! We love your show!’ It’s hard to believe that the same man who once served in the military, dedicating himself to duty and country, has now been reduced to writing fluffy social media comments for his wife’s fruit-arranging show.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the sudden name change of her lifestyle brand—from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever—right before launch. Why? You guessed it, trademark issues! It seems even her branding struggles to hold up under scrutiny.
Meanwhile, across the pond, the royal family continues to show what true service and dedication look like. Catherine, despite dealing with personal health challenges, has carried herself with remarkable dignity. Prince William has seamlessly balanced his royal duties with his role as a devoted father and husband. King Charles and Queen Camilla, too, remain committed to their responsibilities despite Charles’ own health concerns. These are individuals who do not abandon their posts—they have real integrity and a deep sense of duty.
In a world grappling with economic struggles, environmental crises, and global challenges, Meghan genuinely thought that what people needed was a fruit platter? The absurdity writes itself. Critics and audiences alike are calling out the inauthenticity of it all. You simply can’t package and sell a lifestyle you don’t actually live. Unlike Meghan, Catherine doesn’t need a Netflix show to prove she’s a royal—she simply is one.
And let’s talk about that As Ever logo—many are comparing it to a temporary tattoo rather than a legitimate luxury brand. It’s possibly one of the saddest attempts at rebranding we’ve ever seen.
So here we are, folks. Another desperate attempt by the Sussexes to salvage their Netflix deal with hollow lifestyle content. But the bigger question remains—does Harry truly believe in all of this? Deep down, is he actually proud of what they’ve become? He went from serving his country to standing in the background while his wife teaches people how to arrange fruit.
This show marks what many believe to be the beginning of the end for the Sussex brand. It didn’t have to be this way—Harry and Meghan could have found a balance, used their platform for meaningful work, and still respected the institution that gave them global recognition in the first place. Instead, they chose to burn bridges and alienate the very people who once supported them.
Meanwhile, William and Catherine continue to set an example of what it means to be working royals. Their children are growing up with a deep understanding of duty and service—something that Harry and Meghan’s children may never fully grasp. The contrast is clear as day.
