Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show With Love, Meghan will finally hit screens tomorrow – but one royal expert doesn’t believe her estranged royal relatives will be tuning in to watch

After months of mystery, Meghan Markle’s long-awaited Netflix show finally hits screens tomorrow.

The series With Love, Meghan will offer a glimpse into the Duchess of Sussexes’ California life and across eight episodes, she will offer tips and tricks when it comes to cooking, crafting and hosting.

In recent weeks, Meghan has dropped several teasers for the show on her newly-launching Instagram account, with several promos featuring glimpses of her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. And while Netflix will be hoping for bumper audience figures, one royal expert believes there is one group who she can’t rely on to watch the show – her estranged royal relatives.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror that Meghan’s frosty bond with her husband Prince Harry’s family means they don’t give her “any consideration” meaning they won’t be tuning in tomorrow. She said: “I doubt if anyone from the Royal Family will bother to watch it. Nor will they give any consideration to the next phase of her life. I really feel she has made herself irrelevant to the rest of the family.”

Initially, With Love, Meghan was due to premiere on the streaming giant in mid-January – but three days before its debut, the Duchess of Sussex announced that it was being pushed back to 4 March due to the devastation caused by the wildfires in Los Angeles.

In recent weeks, questions have been raised about the series’ content. It has been reported that the programme, which was previously rumoured to be a cookery show, will hardly feature any recipes and will instead offer ideas on how to be the “perfect hostess”.

Meanwhile, comparisons have also been made to a very similar-looking lifestyle series presented by former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson. And Jennie believes this criticism will not have gone down well with Meghan.

She added: “I think she will justifiably feel annoyed that her plans have drawn such criticism. But I guess she’s used to it by now. I think it’s ridiculous to suggest she’s copying other people. First of all, there’s very little in the media world that is original.

“And secondly she started out as an influencer – and a very successful one – so it makes perfect sense for her to return to one of her strengths. I think the Netflix publicity is rather to blame, suggesting that this is something new, when the idea of cooking and chatting with friends and celebrity guests has been around for years. But there’s nothing wrong in Meghan giving her own take on a well-used format.”

The series will consist of eight episodes and offers a glimpse into her LA life. According to Netflix, With Love, Meghan will blend practical tips with candid conversations.

“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected,” the streaming platform said in a statement. “She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.” The show will feature appearances from Meghan’s friends including Mindy Kaling and former Suits co-star, Abigail Spencer.
