Meghan Markle is at it again! This time, she’s stepping into the kitchen for *With Love, Meghan*, but not everyone is buying the act—especially her father, Thomas Markle. And who better to call out Meghan’s latest performance than dear old dad?
In an interview with 'The Daily Mail', Thomas didn’t hold back, dismissing Meghan’s domestic goddess persona as nothing more than a well-rehearsed show for the cameras. “Unfortunately, Meghan has never been authentic,” he stated bluntly. Ouch. That’s not a critique from the tabloids or public opinion—this time, it’s coming straight from her own father. That has to sting.
Now, let’s talk about the jam-making charade. On-screen, Meghan got sentimental, reminiscing about her late grandmother Doris and expressing her wish for her children, Archie and Lilibet, to associate the scent of simmering fruit with home. How touching—except Thomas isn’t convinced. According to him, his mother would be *rolling in her grave* at the thought of Meghan effectively erasing the Markle name. *“My mom loved Meghan very much, but she would be so disappointed to hear that Meghan no longer wants to use the name Markle,”* Thomas lamented. *“She was proud to be a Markle. So am I. But now I have to say I am ‘Meghan Sussex’s dad.’ Imagine that.”*
You raise a child, support them, fund their private school education, and this is the thanks you get? Not even a name-drop? It’s a level of cold that even the iciest PR spin can’t warm up.
But let’s get to the really juicy part—Meghan’s so-called *cooking skills*. Apparently, she has a rather unconventional approach to making spaghetti. Instead of the standard method—boiling water first—she reportedly tosses raw pasta, water, and vegetables *all at once* into a pan and lets it cook from there. Even celebrity chefs would be cringing. *“Who makes spaghetti that way?”* Thomas asked, bewildered. *“It’s the most basic thing!”* And yet, here we are, watching Meghan Markle reinvent pasta in the most unnecessary way possible.
And then there’s the *garden party menu*. Instead of serving up childhood favorites like mac and cheese or chicken nuggets, Meghan opted for a meal adorned with edible flowers. Because nothing screams “fun” like a plate full of petals. Thomas, who actually raised a child, knows better. Kids don’t want a meal that looks like it belongs in a potpourri bowl. Even bacon-loving Archie—who Meghan claims runs into the garden at the mere mention of the word—would probably prefer a simple grilled cheese over a flower-topped feast.
Despite his obvious disappointment, Thomas hasn’t even watched the full show. He’s only caught snippets online, and yet, from just those clips, he’s already spotted the glaring issue: the entire production is meticulously pre-planned, overly scripted, and about as real as a Hollywood movie set.
Thomas Markle isn’t a perfect man, but let’s be honest—he deserves better than being completely erased from his daughter’s life. He adored her, he supported her, and for what? To be cast aside while Meghan throws an invite-only pity party for herself and her carefully curated inner circle? The irony is almost too much. The woman who has seemingly severed ties with nearly everyone outside her PR team is now trying to sell the public on *love, family, and home-cooked meals*?
With Meghan’s track record, maybe she should stick to *pretending* to like jam and leave the actual cooking to those who know what they’re doing. And before we wrap up, let’s take a moment to appreciate that Thomas Markle, for once, didn’t bring up *Sizzler*. Given Meghan’s infamous claim that her father could only afford the salad bar at the beloved restaurant, you’d think he’d throw in a nostalgic jab. But nope—just like Meghan and her Markle name, some things are better left behind.
