Meghan McCain recently took to social media to criticize Meghan Markle’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan, calling it “utterly tone deaf.” McCain initially found the concept of the lifestyle series, which includes how-tos for cooking, gardening, and homemaking alongside conversations with celebrities, to be fresh and stylish. However, her opinion shifted after Markle’s outspoken criticisms of the royal family. In a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), McCain argued that while Markle portrays the series as raw and uncensored, it is highly curated and out of touch with the current global climate, where issues like terrorism, war, and economic struggles are dominating the conversation.
McCain also expressed that Markle, now distanced from the British royal family and living in America, should be more sensitive to the times and focus on initiatives that benefit society, rather than feeding her own ego. She pointed out that Markle’s actions reflect poorly on her, contributing to why many people dislike her. “Do something to help people instead of your ego,” McCain stated, emphasizing her belief that the Duchess is disconnected from the world’s struggles.
Markle, for her part, has been excited about her new venture and shared the trailer for With Love, Meghan on Instagram, where she expressed her hopes that viewers would love the show as much as she loved making it. The official description of the show highlights its blend of practical advice and candid conversations with friends, reimagining the lifestyle genre. Produced by Markle herself, With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix on January 15, 2025, amid ongoing debate about her public image.
