In the new season of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, the
Duchess of Sussex gets real about her life—from her
romantic beginnings with Prince Harry to her
lighthearted (but not-so-perfect) baking adventures. The show
is packed with fun moments, celebrity guests, and heartfelt confessions that
make Meghan feel more relatable than ever.
1. Love at First Sight (Well, Third Date!)
- Meghan shared the sweet story of how she fell for Prince Harry on their third date—a five-day camping trip in Botswana.
- She described the trip as a chance to truly get to know each other, with no distractions, no phones, and just the two of them in a tent (plus the occasional elephant outside!).
- When asked who said “I love you” first, Meghan blushed and admitted it was Harry. Her reaction—still blushing years later—shows how special that moment remains for her.
2. Baking: Fun, Not Fussy
- Meghan confessed she’s “not a fan of baking” because it’s too precise and measured. She prefers a more spontaneous, relaxed approach in the kitchen.
- She embraced shortcuts, like using pre-made puff pastry instead of making dough from scratch. This makes her feel more like a regular person who just wants to enjoy cooking without the stress.
- Her quirky habit of sprinkling flowers on French toast even got a hilarious reaction from Tan France, who joked, “That’s the gayest s** I’ve seen in a long time.”* Meghan’s playful side shines through in moments like these.
3. Family Comes First
- In a more emotional moment, Meghan revealed that the longest she’s ever been away from her kids, Archie and Lilibet, was nearly three weeks—and she admitted, “I was not well.”
- This raw honesty shows how deeply she values her role as a mother. Despite her fame and busy career, her family is her priority, and being apart from them is tough.
Why Does This Matter?
- Relatability: Meghan’s willingness to share her imperfections—like her baking shortcuts and her struggles with being away from her kids—makes her feel more human and down-to-earth.
- Authenticity: The show highlights her real personality, from her romantic memories with Harry to her playful, unfiltered moments with friends. It’s a refreshing break from the polished, perfect image we often see of celebrities.
- Balancing Life: Meghan’s journey—from royal life to building her own career and family—shows how she’s navigating fame on her own terms. She’s not afraid to laugh at herself or share her vulnerabilities, which makes her story inspiring.
