After weeks of waiting and hearing every last piece of gossip from the tabloids, I finally had time to sit down and watch With Love, Meghan. Let me tell you—it was worth the wait in every possible way.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Meghan Markle—now Meghan, Duchess of Sussex—since her Suits and The TIG days. She always carried herself with effortless grace and had this incredible ability to make you feel like she was your best friend. Then, as fate would have it, she found herself in what can only be described as a modern fairytale—falling in love with a prince and getting married. Of course, we all know the messy aftermath that followed when she and Prince Harry stepped away from the Royal Family, and the sacrifices she made along the way.
But now, after watching With Love, Meghan, I can say this with certainty: The Royal Family missed out on having two Diana-like figures reshape The Crown’s image and global impact. Their loss is our gain because Meghan’s new series is an absolute delight.
A More Approachable Martha Stewart?
For those of us who grew up in the ’90s with a Martha Stewart-obsessed mother, With Love, Meghan feels like a more relaxed, down-to-earth version of a classic Martha episode. In fact, I dare say Meghan could be considered the Modern Princess Martha Stewart.
Each episode is centered around crafting simple yet elegant dishes while also learning guest and home techniques that anyone can implement. She brings in friends and people she admires, making every interaction feel warm, organic, and inviting. What’s truly refreshing is that, in some episodes, she’s trying things for the first time, and her enthusiasm (and occasional awkward moments) are completely endearing. Whether she’s harvesting her own honey or creating homemade preserves—both of which guests claim are absolutely divine—you can’t help but be charmed by her curiosity and authenticity.
Beautifully Shot and Effortlessly Made
The cinematography of With Love, Meghan is simply stunning. The show feels effortlessly put together, which only adds to its charm. What stands out the most is how much we learn—not just about Meghan’s life but about various crafts, traditions, and meaningful ways to make a home feel special. She’s not just a great host but a natural conversationalist, unafraid to ask deep, thought-provoking questions.
One of the most touching elements of the series is how personal it feels. Many of the things she shares on the show are traditions she enjoys with her own family. And let’s not forget about Guy, her longtime dog, who is a staple in the series and the kitchen. Tragically, by the time the series aired, Guy had passed away, making his presence throughout the show even more sentimental.
As a mom of two myself, I found the show refreshing, and exactly what I needed. It didn’t give me that guilt trip that I wasn’t good enough or doing enough. It reminded me that it’s the little things that show people you care. I watched the series in the morning before Marvel woke up, and it was so good that even a 5-year-old was engrossed in a couple of episodes. Her mind was blown when she found out that technically, Meghan is a “real live princess.” That moment alone was priceless.
Beyond the charm of the show itself, With Love, Meghan sends a powerful message about embracing a new chapter in life. Meghan has taken control of her narrative, carving out a space for herself that aligns with her passions and values. This series isn’t just about food and lifestyle—it’s about resilience, reinvention, and reminding people that happiness comes from living authentically.
The Obsession with Flower Sprinkles
Okay, I have to ask—what is the deal with flower sprinkles? Meghan is obsessed with them, but I just don’t see the appeal of eating dried flowers. That said, she makes them look elegant and whimsical, and maybe I just need to give them a fair chance. Throughout the series, we see Meghan using them in everything from desserts to cocktails, adding a delicate floral touch that seems to enchant her guests. It may not be my thing, but I have to admit, it’s a signature Meghan touch that makes the show even more uniquely hers.
A New Chapter for Meghan—And Her Brand
The final episode wraps up with a beautifully curated brunch with friends and family, celebrating a new chapter in her life. And if this series is any indication, Meghan Sussex has fully stepped into her new era—and we’re all here for it.
But Meghan isn’t stopping at just the show. Alongside the launch of With Love, Meghan, she has also debuted her new brand, As Ever, which embodies her love for high-quality, home-crafted goods. The brand will offer a selection of items featured in the show, including her homemade preserves, honey, flower sprinkles, teas, and baking mixes. This business move feels like a natural extension of what Meghan has always stood for—thoughtful, meaningful living with a touch of elegance and warmth.
With the confirmation of Season 2, I can’t wait to see what’s next for With Love, Meghan. And seriously, Netflix—when can we buy these fruit preserves? Because I need them ASAP.
Final rating? 10/10. If you haven’t watched it yet, trust me—it’s time to dive in.
