Meghan Markle returns to Netflix

To the Montecito monarchs who, no matter how much they protest about the press, just can’t seem to stay away from the spotlight. Not content with her failed podcast Archetypes — which one Spotify exec fumed should have been called “the fucking grifters” — or the couples’ documentary, rather creatively titled Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has now released the trailer to her latest venture: With Love, Meghan. Brace yourselves…

The Queen of Privacy’s teaser clip depicts Prince Harry’s controversy-prone wife cooking in California, picking produce from her garden and mingling with famous friends — all rounded off with the Sixties hit “Do You Believe in Magic.” How sweet — although from the clips Cockburn has seen, it’s more showbiz than supernatural.

Taking to Instagram to alert her followers to her latest undertaking, Meghan gushed about her new show:

I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team [at] Netflix. Beyond grateful for the support — and fun!

Netflix bosses will be hoping the show outperforms Prince Harry’s underwhelming Polo docuseries, released last month to rather scathing reviews. In fact, the dilettante Duke and Duchess have a lot to prove after signing a $100 million five-year deal with the film giant in 2020 but failing to deliver anything much other than a series of flops. The dynamic duo are rather prone to taking on paltry projects that don’t particularly take off — from Archetypes being cut short to Meghan’s lifestyle brand “American Riviera Orchard” running into patenting difficulties before it had officially launched. Dear oh dear…

The blurb on Meghan’s latest show notes that:

For Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, love is in the details: the small, personal moments that bring delight to those we cherish. Sharing some of her favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, crafting and more, Meghan reveals how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together.

Good heavens. A recipe for disaster or success? Keep posted…
