However, it seems to have left viewers and experts confused.\n<p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-48406 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/Anh-thumbnail-bai-dang-web-4-25-1.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"903\"' height='\"472\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>The trailer for Meghan\u2019s show has been labeled as \u201claughable\u201d by some, with many expressing bewilderment over its content. Following her dramatic return to Instagram on New Year\u2019s Day, Meghan released a teaser for her upcoming eight-part series, *With Love, Meghan*, a day later. The show, debuting on January 15, features Meghan hosting friends and celebrities at a California estate, where she shares tips on cooking, gardening, and hosting.\n</p><p>The trailer shows Meghan preparing food with guests like actresses Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer from *Suits*, arranging flowers, and even engaging in beekeeping\u2014a hobby famously enjoyed by her estranged sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales.\n</p><p>Royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop warned that the overly perfect portrayal in the trailer could be problematic for Meghan. Speaking to *The Mirror*, Dr. Dunlop commented, \u201cIt\u2019s easy to mock Meghan\u2019s seemingly perfect world in her new Netflix trailer: semi-famous friends, fresh food, and Insta-ready visuals.\u201d\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-48405 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/471963315_602703372136594_7211891246472893885_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1200\"' height='\"662\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>She added, \u201cBut, Meghan reassures us that elevating ordinary things is just what she does. And no, she\u2019s not referring to Prince Harry, who also appears in the trailer alongside her millennial friends. Chef Roy Choi says they\u2019re \u2018family now,\u2019 which could be ominous given the Sussexes\u2019 past with close relations.\u201d\n</p><p>Dr. Dunlop continued, \u201cIt\u2019s so easy to scoff at a reality series where one of the wealthiest women in the world teaches us \u2018little tips and tricks.\u2019 Showing how \u2018we can incorporate these practices\u2019 into our daily lives as she strolls through her sunlit garden, with a retro basket, before tending to designer bee hives dripping with honey, is laughably out-of-reach for most people.\u201d\n</p><p>Viewers have also expressed confusion, especially as the trailer does not mention Meghan\u2019s much-publicized lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Announced with much fanfare last March, the brand was expected to offer jams, spreads, and homeware, showcased by her celebrity friends on social media. However, the products are not yet available for purchase, and the brand&rsquo;s Instagram account has been silent, leading to questions about its future.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-48404 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/462583141_606489965098186_2202706376543205874_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1200\"' height='\"675\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>On social media, users asked, \u201cDidn\u2019t she start an IG account under American Riviera Orchard?\u201d and \u201cWhy no mention of American Riviera Orchard?\u201d\n</p><p>Despite the confusion, Dr. Dunlop believes the show could succeed, particularly in the U.S. She explained, \u201cIn America, there is a different relationship with perfection. While British audiences prefer relatable soap operas, Americans embrace escapism with a glossy, successful sheen, like in *Dynasty* or *Friends*.\u201d\n</p><p>She continued, \u201cMeghan fits into this mold perfectly with her curated aesthetic. Her friends, including Abigail Spencer, Mindy Kaling, and Delfina Blaquier, embody elegance and perfection. They\u2019re not pursuing perfection but joy.\u201d\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-48403 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/472240140_1129540085344063_2237106015623742202_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1200\"' height='\"675\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Dr. Dunlop concluded, \u201cAmericans, invited to watch and dream, will likely resonate with Meghan\u2019s portrayal of love and joy, even if it\u2019s a far cry from reality.\u201d\n</p><p>Harry also makes an appearance in the trailer, seen embracing Meghan, indicating his support for her project. The couple has been working separately recently, with Meghan focusing on business ventures and Harry on charitable work.\n</p><p>Meghan\u2019s gesture of calling her and Harry &ldquo;salt and pepper&rdquo; because they &ldquo;always move together&rdquo; resurfaces, showing their unity. Body language expert Judi James noted Harry\u2019s pride and emotional support for Meghan in the trailer.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-48402 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/472241072_591218970323212_4310182138859392999_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1200\"' height='\"633\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>James added, \u201cMeghan flaunts her friends instead of directly addressing the audience, showcasing her Montecito \u2018family.\u2019 The trailer and possibly the series highlight how much Meghan is loved and loves in return. Words like \u2018love,\u2019 \u2018friends,\u2019 and \u2018joy\u2019 dominate the narrative.\u201d\n</p><p>She concluded, \u201cMeghan\u2019s portrayal of love, friends, and family, alongside gentle activities like beekeeping, might not offer an accessible lifestyle, but it serves as a strong PR move to rebrand Meghan as a \u2018sweet-treat\u2019 personality.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Meghan Markle created quite a stir with the release of the trailer for her new Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*, set to premiere later this month.
