As a veteran political commentator who has seen my fair share of tone-deaf productions, I find myself utterly disillusioned with Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.” Having been an initial supporter of Meghan, I must say that her latest venture seems to have missed the mark entirely.

In a time when the world is grappling with real issues like terror attacks, wars, and economic instability, it feels inappropriate to focus on curated lifestyle content. It’s as if we’re all stuck in a royal garden party while our grocery bills rise and our homes are being threatened by global turmoil.

I would have advised Meghan to do something more meaningful with her platform, such as addressing food deserts in low-income neighborhoods or using her influence to bring people together during these trying times. Instead, it appears that her ego has taken center stage once again, leaving many of us shaking our heads and wondering why the world still doesn’t quite seem to like her.

On a lighter note, perhaps Meghan could consider a spin-off series called “With Love, from a Food Desert” or “The Uncensored Royals.” Now that would be something I’d pay to watch!

In response to the unveiling of Meghan Markle’s Netflix series trailer, titled “With Love, Meghan”, which combines tutorials on cooking, gardening, and homemaking with intimate chats featuring celebrities like Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, and even Prince Harry, Meghan McCain voiced her criticism, labeling the show as “completely oblivious to the current situation.

To begin with, I found myself drawn to Meghan Markle. She struck me as someone who was modern, chic, and a breath of fresh air. However, my perspective shifted when she appeared disrespectful towards the royal family. Now that she’s seeking to reclaim her American identity rather than maintaining her British aristocracy status, it seems she overlooks a key aspect: Americans appreciate authenticity, rawness, and unfiltered expression. Even in the trailer, what we see is carefully crafted, polished, and seemingly detached from reality.

“Over the past two days, there have been two terror attacks, ongoing wars are causing chaos, and many Americans can’t afford groceries,” McCain said. “We’re a nation that is angry, confused, and highly agitated right now. This idea is misguided. I would suggest she do a show focused on delivering fresh food to food-scarce areas in low-income neighborhoods instead of focusing on her own ego. She needs to help people rather than herself. This is the reason the world dislikes her – it’s because she lacks sensitivity to the current situation.

Initially, Markle unveiled the preview of her Netflix series on Instagram, expressing: “I’ve been bursting with anticipation to share this with you! I sincerely hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed creating it. Wishing you all a splendid new year! Many thanks to our incredible crew and the team at Netflix. I am deeply thankful for the support — and the joy it brought me!

Under the direction of Michael Steed, “With Love, Meghan” comprises eight episodes, each running for approximately 33 minutes. This production is jointly undertaken by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions, as well as the Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television.

The Netflix series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, redefines the traditional lifestyle show format by combining useful tutorials with heartfelt conversations with friends, both old and new. Meghan offers her own personal insights, favoring fun over formality, and demonstrates how effortlessly one can create beauty in unexpected places. She and her guests dive into various activities, from cooking to gardening and beyond, encouraging viewers to join in the fun.

“With Love, Meghan” premieres Jan. 15 on Netflix.
