“With Love, Meghan” was given a one-star rating by British newspapers The Guardian and The Independent rated “With Love, Meghan” one starnt. The Independent described the series as “queasy and exhausting [like a] millennial blog come to life.”

Variety added that Markle is allegedly “unwilling to step outside the role of perpetual A student and lacks similar competence” to more successful lifestyle stars such as Martha Stewart and Ina Garten.

“With Love, Meghan” now ranks as Netflix’s No. 7 show in the United States, and as the description reads, Markle invites new guests to her home in every episode. The first season featured actress-writer Mindy Kaling, “Suits” cast member Abigail Spencer, and celebrity chefs Roy Choi and Alice Waters for cooking sessions.
