From beekeeping to candle-making, Meghan dons various roles, offering a glimpse into her life beyond the royal spotlight.

With its Instagram-perfect aesthetic and endless chopping of vegetables, the series leaves viewers questioning whether it’s a metaphor for her public image or simply a lighthearted escape. Tune in to see Meghan navigate the delicate balance between royal expectations and her quest for authenticity—all while wondering if there’s more beneath the surface than meets the eye.

**Paraphrased Digest:**
The author initially feared they would dislike *With Love, Meghan*, a Netflix show where Meghan Markle shares homemaking tips and hosts celebrity friends in her Montecito home. The series, with its soft-focus, Instagram-worthy aesthetic, features Meghan in various roles—beekeeper, fruit-picker, candlemaker—and showcases her domestic skills, from chopping vegetables to arranging frozen orange juice roses. While the show feels like an attempt to humanize Meghan after her royal experience, it often leans into the luxurious, 1% lifestyle that streaming platforms typically mock. The author notes Meghan’s ease on camera but wishes for more unscripted, messy moments to make the show feel more authentic. Ultimately, the series lacks the transformative or innovative advice found in other domestic shows, leaving viewers with little more than the reminder that they, too, can chop vegetables. The author reflects on Meghan’s journey from actress to royal and how the public remains fascinated by her post-royal life, even as the show struggles to balance relatability with its polished presentation.
