Guardian, Telegraph, Express and now the Standard all taking the proverbial.

“Yes, Meghan Markle; not gone yet. Having already caused a thrill with her return to Instagram — a grey beach, her running past a smudge in the sand reading 2025, only for her then to write it again— now the Duchess has just released the trailer for her newest Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
I will start with the obvious: it is the Live, Laugh, Love of TV shows.
It is a symphony of meaningful stares into the distance, slow-motion herb chopping, and Meghan murmuring lines like “It’s not about perfection”. Which is just as well; perfect it is not. Did you catch the under-cooked focaccia?
So what is Brand Markle in 2025? Well, the former actress — avowed feminist, not someone too keen on institutions — appears to be role-playing as a Trad Wife. It is very much as Goop and Cath Kidston had a kid, and that kid’s favourite hobby turned out to be explaining mindfulness over brunch.
There’s the mandatory shot of Meghan leaning laughingly into Harry — the staged, we’re-definitely-not-getting-a-divorce-I-promise kind — though whatever joke caused the crack-up is omitted. In its place are more long, wistful looks. It must be so wearing being this relatable.
Be sure to catch the various quotes which may or may not be inspirational, depending on your present state of mental decline. “We’re in the pursuit of joy,” is one. “Love is in the details.” Music swells. “Everyone’s invited… to create wonder… in every moment” is another. There are rather too many bashful, face-hiding moments, as if Markle weren’t quite literally inviting audiences to sip herbal tea and reflect deeply on… well, her.
It’s all very light and fluffy; Markle’s gone light on the usual lectures. There are not, for instance, shots of her looking meaningfully at the camera and explaining how soup soothes generational trauma. You can’t win ‘em all.”
