The Duchess of Sussex Shifts Focus With Culinary Show "Meghan, With Love"
Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix cookery series, Meghan, With Love, represents a significant shift in her career since stepping down from royal duties five years ago. Showcasing recipes inspired by her American Riviera Orchard brand, the series focuses on culinary creativity and lifestyle rather than contentious topics.
The series is part of the Sussexes’ expanding portfolio of commercial ventures following their departure from the Royal Family in January 2020. Unlike their earlier Netflix projects, which drew criticism for their royal commentary, this new venture is designed to steer clear of controversy and maintain family privacy.
Filmed away from their Montecito home, Meghan, With Love is unlikely to feature their children, Archie and Lilibet. Additionally, royal commentator Jennie Bond suggested the series may attract support from Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. “I doubt most royals will watch her show—though Eugenie and Beatrice might tune in,” Bond said, highlighting a potential contrast with the anticipated indifference of other family members.
The series is expected to mark a fresh chapter for Meghan, focusing on her passion for cooking and offering a new perspective on her post-royal career. With its positive and non-controversial theme, Meghan, With Love could help the Duchess of Sussex carve out an independent niche in the entertainment world.
