There’s perhaps no name that’s become more synonymous with attention-seeking than that of Meghan Markle.
Except maybe Dylan Mulvaney. But that’s a whole other bizarre ball of glittery wax.
The Hollywood B-actress-turned-British princess-turned-Professional-Everywoman, after having her Spotify podcast canceled after just a few episodes, is now trying her hand at a Netflix show where she…um...bakes. And arranges flowers. Frolicks with some bees. And does whatever else a person does when they’re super rich and famous but don’t really have anything else to contribute.
And suffice it to say, it’s not exactly impressing people.
For starters, here’s the trailer for Markle’s new show entitled "With Love," where she makes charcuterie boards and labels homemade candles and stuffs peonies into a vase and it’s all supposed to be very entertaining to people struggling with high grocery prices and utility bills.

Not exactly tripping over yourself trying to find the remote? Neither, apparently, is anyone else.
“I can't wait to not watch this,” one person commented.
“There's nothing genuinely interesting about this lady,” another chimed in.
“If we didn't have another season of stranger things due, i'd cancel my [Netflix] subscription,” a third disinterested commenter wrote.
Markle and her royally famous husband, kinda-sorta-former Prince Harry, saw their $20 million deal with Spotify fizzle last year after the couple failed to meet ““productivity benchmarks.” The pair, who quit the British royal family in 2020 to supposedly live a quieter, more private life focused on philanthropy, have since spent their time clamoring to stay in the spotlight with myriad failed ventures, including the poorly received podcast, an abysmally rated Netflix documentary, an animated series that failed to materialize, a now-defunct media company, an anti-cyberbullying organization that never landed, and several lifestyle brand flops including Markle’s struggling line of “American Riviera Orchard” home products.
But I’m sure this new show about her baking cakes and galavanting about in her home garden will finally be the ace in the hole.
