“‘THIS IS THE KIND OF ADVICE ONLY A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY COULD GIVE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.’” Meghan Markle is once again dividing the internet after viewers discovered the surprisingly out-of-touch lifestyle advice featured in her new show — and social media wasted absolutely no time dragging it.

Meghan Markle flower-sprinkled her way back onto our screens this week as her lifestyle show – With Love, Meghan – returned for a new series. Stepping back behind the kitchen counter of a rented Californian mansion, Meghan showed her viewers how to make home versions of McDonald’s apple pies and Cheez-Its (cheese crackers to you and me).
She then turned her attention to whipping us up a curiously named “lavender grey latte”, apparently made from Earl Grey tea, lavender, frothy honey and vanilla milk.

It was something of a departure from her days of rainbow fruit platters and repacked shop-bought pretzels. There were home help tips, too, from the Duchess as she showed her audience how to pack a suitcase – “Seeing it all is really helpful,” she declared with a grin. What’s next? How to breathe? How to dress? Thank goodness Meghan is on hand to guide us through life’s toughest trials!
She also showed off the 40th birthday present she bought for her husband, a baseball cap emblazoned with PH40.
It has to be said – this series did have a different feel. With more British guests and references to what she missed from the time she spent in the country, it struck a more wholesome chord… even if us Brits were recently told we were not as “classy” as our American counterparts to enjoy such delights.
But, as ever, eight new episodes on the world’s biggest streaming service was not enough for the Duchess. She also felt the need to take yet another swipe at the Royal Family in a separate interview released on the same day…to ensure maximum Meghan-mania.
Admitting that she didn’t feel “authentic” when she was royal, Meghan referred to the need to wear nude pantyhose – or tights – when she was out and about. But that’s all changed now, of course – “Right now, no, I don’t feel that I need to prove anything,” she says.
Netflix may think otherwise. The Sussexes’ latest deal with the streaming giant is noticeably less generous than their original signing.
