Meghan Markle’s eagerly-awaited Netflix show With Love, Meghan has finally dropped on the streaming platform after weeks of teasing – and here we look at some of the biggest moments from the show
Meghan Markle’s crunch Netflix series has finally dropped after weeks of anticipation – and it has already set tongues wagging.
With Love, Meghan hit the streaming platform this morning and shows the Duchess of Sussex share cookery and hosting tips and tricks with a whole host of famous faces. The show is being seen as a make-or-break moment for the Sussexes, who signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix five years ago.
And already viewers have been pouring over the series, which includes a very fleeting appearance from Prince Harry, Meghan’s song about bacon, her new surname revelation and an apparent dig at royal life…
Surname correction
In the second episode of the series, Meghan invites pal Mindy Kaling to help her prepare for a children’s party. As they chat, the eating habits of the Sussexes are revealed, and when the comedian asks how to season eggs, the duchess replies: “Well I have a family, a husband, who no matter what meal is put in front of him before he tastes it puts salt on, so I try to under salt.”
Later Kaling asks whether she began cooking at home or picked it up later and Meghan replies: “I was a latch-key kid so I grew up with a lot of fast food and also a lot of TV tray dinners. It feels like such a different time but that was so normal with the microwavable kids meals…”
Then when the actress uses Meghan’s maiden name, the duchess speaks with pride about being a Sussex: “You keep saying, Meghan Markle, you know, I’m Sussex now. You have kids, and you go, ‘now I share my name with my children’…I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘this is our family name, our little family name’.”
Jam mystery
Mindy was one of the lucky 50 celebs who was sent a jar of Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard jam last year, but revealed it left her with a big question.
The jam jars were numbered one to 50, so Mindy jokingly asked if this meant she was ranked with Meghan’s other pals. Speaking during the second episode of With Love, Meghan, she asks: “When I received that in the mail, a box of your preserves, it was probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.
“Then I looked at the label and it said there were like 50. And I of course, as a very hierarchical person was like who are these other 50? Does having a lower number make me more special, or does having a higher number make me more special?”
