**’With Love, Meghan’ Review: A Cheerful Lifestyle Series with a Royal Flair**
*With Love, Meghan* might not appeal to everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. If it’s not your preferred style, there are numerous other shows available. However, if you relate to Meghan Markle, enjoy observing one of the most analyzed women globally discover happiness and strength, and appreciate aspirational home and hosting ideas, this series could be exactly what you want.
Produced by Netflix in conjunction with Meghan and Harry’s Archewell Productions, *With Love, Meghan* is a lively DIY lifestyle series where the Duchess of Sussex imparts home and kitchen advice. The series is stunningly filmed, providing viewers with a blend of practical tips and aspirational visuals. If you find enjoyment in lifestyle content or TikTok clips centered on home entertaining and DIY endeavors, this show may be an excellent choice.
### A Peek into Meghan’s Sphere
No, I won’t be creating my own fried chicken brine with chef Roy Choi or crafting ice cubes with edible flowers for brunch, but I’m more than happy to watch someone else do it. Similar to *Queer Eye*, this program showcases ideas I *might* embrace in my life—but likely won’t. That doesn’t diminish the enjoyment factor.
Set against a breathtaking Montecito estate (not the actual residence of Meghan and Harry, in case anyone is curious), each episode features Meghan as she hosts celebrity pals, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, Alice Waters, Vicky Tsai, Daniel Martin, and former *Suits* co-star Abigail Spencer. While they converse about life and careers, Meghan prepares meals and decorations, providing both inspiration and practical advice. The show serves as a delightful break from the dark, intense dramas I generally gravitate towards—everything here is bright, elegant, and welcoming.
In her immaculate, white kitchen, Meghan illustrates how to create items that appear both doable and aspirational. From setting up a guest room with homemade bath salts to gathering fresh honey from a backyard hive, the show unveils a realm of refined domesticity. Although I don’t possess Le Creuset cookware or truffle oil (thanks to *The Economy*), I still relish watching others craft beautiful things.
### Practical Suggestions with a Hint of Luxury
While not everyone has the time or resources to emulate Meghan’s lifestyle, *With Love, Meghan* provides smart tricks to elevate everyday moments. She enhances store-bought treats with simple extras—something I *might* genuinely try. (Yes, I *will* be adding mint sprigs to Greggs pastries for a more sophisticated appearance.)
However, some aspects of the show demand more effort than I’m willing to invest. Meghan prepares homemade preserves as gifts for friends—something I know I’ll never undertake. The children’s party bags she assembles in episode two are remarkably thoughtful, but I won’t be crafting those either. To her credit, Meghan acknowledges the privilege of having access to fresh produce and a lovely garden.
In episode seven, “Elevating the Everyday,” she ponders the significance of sharing what you have:
> “We don’t all have a garden like this. I fully recognize that. I didn’t grow up with a garden like this. But if you have a farmer’s market, then you can definitely find something that, if you have a bite of it and think, ‘I wish they could try this,’ then share it with them.”
### A Uplifting Escape
With its cheerful soundtrack and refined presentation, *With Love, Meghan* occasionally resembles a luxurious daytime TV segment—imagine *BBC’s Morning Live*, but more cinematic. In episode two, Meghan and Mindy Kaling host a delightful garden tea party for children. While the episode embraces the notion of “Flawless Parenting” (especially given Meghan’s all-white wardrobe), it also provides genuinely valuable advice for adding a touch of magic to daily life.
I may not be a parent or a homemaker, but I value the focus on details. Presenting vegetable sticks and store-bought hummus as fancy crudités? I’ve viewed countless TikToks on charcuterie boards and butter boards that I’ll never create, and I’m eager to watch this too.
If you seek a light, visually appealing, and somewhat inspiring show featuring one of the most renowned women globally, *With Love, Meghan* is worth a viewing. There’s no need to overanalyze it—just enjoy.
*With Love, Meghan* is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
