With Love, Meghan
What's the Story?
In WITH LOVE, MEGHAN, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has invited a dear friend to spend the weekend. She's got plans for him: They're going to make candles, assemble a cake, and clink glasses to a beautiful California afternoon. Other friends join her for more elaborate occasions. How will her desire to entertain serve to inspire others?
Is It Any Good?
A lifestyle project for a woman whose fairy tale has come true, this show belongs squarely to the moment we find ourselves in, where "unboxing" culture reigns supreme. Fans of the duchess will surely enjoy watching her make beeswax candles on With Love, Meghan for the first time, though others might prefer to watch trained craftspeople perfect their art elsewhere.
With Love, Meghan glorifies the things that stay-at-home parents have been doing for years. Icing a cake with a friend makes for a grand time, so does making a balloon arch for a party; but if you're not the duchess of Sussex doing the prep, it's just another day. Families can easily find more enriching lifestyle shows to watch together.
