“”With love, Meghan“, The new Netflix Lifestyle series in the first week next week, is a kind of culminating point for its creator and star, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The show launches the princess as a domestic goddess perfectly toilet, cooking and entertainment for friends at home in coastal California, a role to which she apparently aspires for more than a decade.
Meghan’s ambitions to be the “Millennial Martha Stewart de Montecito“, As a recent guest test of the New York Times said was first delayed by his nuptial parade and his marriage to Prince Harry, in 2018, then by the couple’s public quarrel with the British royal family.
In 2020, Harry and Meghan announced that they would take a step back from royal duties, causing a wave of gossip of palaces and recriminations. The couple has spent the coming years telling (and monetizing) their side of history in a media series – a sit -down interview with Oprah Winfrey; Netflix documentation with six episodes, “Harry and Meghan“And a successful memory by Prince Harry,”Spare. “”
But throughout, Meghan showed lightning on his side of Garten. Remember when she showed his chicken coop to Oprah? Or when a London bakery published a photo of Handwritten thanks On the personalized stationery she had sent to her staff?
In a 15 -second video on Instagram last year, Meghan finally announced his new kitchen and her lifestyle brandAmerican Riviera Orchard. The details were rare, but a brand application requested the approval of a retail store, cooking books and dishes, as well as frosts, jams, marmelades, preserves of fruit and nuts.
The brand’s clumsy name has not had long: this month, in another Instagram video, Meghan renamed his brand Like never. (The existence of A New York clothing label using this name does not seem to have dissuaded her.) The announcement seemed timed to the premiere of “With Love, Meghan”, because Netflix is his partner not only in the show but also in his business.
Meghan is a polarizing public figure, and to his detractors, his incursions in the content of the lifestyle are an inauthentic effort for a pampered princess. Does she really do her own kitchen and gardening?
But Meghan has expressed authentic and long -standing interest for domestic arts. As she said in the video announcing her new business name: “You know that I have always liked to cook, craft and gardening. This is what I do.
Didn’t Meghan had a lifestyle site long before meeting Harry?
Yes, in 2014, she launched a website entitled The Tig, named Italian wine Tignanello, who said that Meghan woke her up with the joy of wine. The site included content on food and travel, as well as interviews with notable people, or “Tig Talks”.

Meghan said in interviews that, even if she auditioned for acting roles in the mid -2000s, she made additional money by writing in a fancy script. She made the invitations for the wedding of Robin Thicke and Paula Patton and wrote the notes that Dolce & Gabbana sent celebrities during the holidays. “I sat there with a small white tube sock on my hand so that no oil is on the map,” Meghan said to Esquire in 2013. His good calligraphy came graciously of his Catholic education, she said.
How “with love, will Meghan” be different from other lifestyle shows?

The trailer shows Meghan in an apron preparing delicious desserts for her friends, including actress Mindy Kaling, and sharing “advice and tips”, like her approach to create colorful floral arrangements. But some images, like Meghan in the middle of a beekeeper, tending his hive at home, is derived from the work of other entrepreneurs. In his 1982 book “Entertaining”, Martha Stewart is represented in full hike while waiting for his own hives.
