Meghan's in her Barefoot Contessa era — and her new Netflix show will have the haters frothing

Meghan Markle fans are well fed this January. Hot off the heels of her January 1 Instagram relaunch — the @meghan handle claimed, comments off, a hazy video of her running along a beach and writing 2025 in the sand – comes the trailer for her new cooking show. With Love, Meghan, promises to teach us the Duchess of Sussex’s method for being a charming host, with show-and-tells for flower arranging and crudité boards interspersed with celebrity guests. It looks light and frothy – and Meghan’s detractors are already frothing at the mouth with fury.

It’s not the most original concept, but that’s likely by design. This is one for the American audience, plugging into the tried and tested formats trod by the Barefoot Contessa and Martha Stewart.
