Meghan Markle's Netflix series criticized for mocking royals

Meghan Markle's new Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," has sparked controversy. Royal commentator Angela Levin claims that Meghan's style in the show mimics the late Queen Elizabeth II. She specifically pointed out Meghan's "green waffle creations" as an unusual tribute to the Queen. Despite the criticism, the show has performed well. It debuted in Netflix's global top 10 and has already been renewed for a second season. Levin expressed her disapproval during an interview, calling Meghan's similarities to the Queen "too shocking for words." She believes that Meghan's portrayal was intentional and compared it to a previous incident involving a curtsy. Host Nana Akua echoed Levin's view, saying that Meghan's behavior in the show seemed erratic. She described the series as having "so many weird elements." This scrutiny adds to the negative feedback surrounding the show, which some viewers consider unrealistic. In the series, Meghan shares tips on crafts and activities with her children, including making teabags and party bags filled with seeds. Despite the backlash, the show has gained significant viewership. A TV executive mentioned that the second season is already filmed and is expected to be financially successful, driven by merchandise sales linked to Meghan's popularity.
