Meghan Markle Faces Criticism Over 'At Home' Netflix Series Filmed in Borrowed Mansion
The Duchess of Sussex's upcoming lifestyle show, 'With Love, Meghan,' has drawn backlash for its opulent setting and perceived disconnect from its intended relatability.
- Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, premiering January 15, 2025, was filmed in an $8 million Montecito farmhouse owned by local philanthropists, rather than her own $14.65 million mansion.
- The show, featuring celebrity guests like Mindy Kaling and Roy Choi, blends cooking, gardening, and lifestyle tutorials, with Markle emphasizing 'playfulness over perfection.'
- Critics, including Meghan McCain, have called the series 'tone deaf,' citing its luxurious presentation and timing during a period of global and national crises.
- The farmhouse setting, chosen for its rustic aesthetic, features high-end cookware, designer finishes, and expensive decor, further fueling criticism of the show's relatability.
- This is Markle's fifth project under her and Prince Harry's reported $100 million Netflix deal, following mixed reactions to previous ventures like the 'Harry & Meghan' docuseries.
