New series at Netflix: Cremefarben Royale: Meghan gives the housewife

So Duchess Meghan stands in the kitchen and bakes flower cookies. Five years after their retreat from the British royal family, Meghan (43) gives tips for cooking, gardening and hosting in a new series at the Netflix streaming service. “Love,” she says, “is in detail.” Prince Harry’s wife (40) also tries to build a new business area with her own lifestyle brand.

The start of her series “With Love, Meghan” was postponed by several weeks due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles. Now you can watch Meghan in eight episodes how to mix bathing salt with perfectly manicated nails or decorate a cake in a flawless blouse.

The film was shot in California, the adopted home of Harry and Meghan, but not in the couple’s private house. Meghan shows himself in a good mood and chats in front of the camera with a friend without revealing without explosive (Harry is said to eat salty, there was often fast food in childhood). Her husband briefly appears at a garden party and gives his wife a kiss.

Your series fits well into a time when the curated life is advertised on Instagram – in which it is nice, tidy, is healthy. Not chaotic, exhausting, ugly. The beautifully laid table today is a status symbol among younger women, wrote an author of the “Times”

However, some British media had already went to court hard with the trailer for the series. “We expected more from you than” tradwife “,” the newspaper “The Independent” wrote. The term describes that women present themselves as housewives on social media and promote traditional values.

A reporter of the television station Sky News thinks, it is tiring to see the series: “I felt absolutely inadequate.” Meghan is certainly a wonderful host and gives the impression that she is doing well.

How Meghan reinvented

The Duchess has been working on a new business area for a long time. She used to play in the “Suits” lawyer’s series – then she married Prince Harry the younger son of today’s King Charles III. But the hope that the British royal house could become more modern thanks to the couple – or at least that could work – was not fulfilled.

Harry and Meghan withdrew from their royal duties and left the country. Not only against the British tabloid media raised serious allegations, the relationship with the royals is also considered broken. In the meantime they live with their children Prince Archie (5) and Princess Lilibet (3) in the USA.

In order to be financially on their own feet, the couple completed the streaming company Spotify and Netflix. Meghan also founded a lifestyle brand called “American Riviera Orchard”, which she now continues as “as ever” according to trademark problems, and under which she wants to market fruit spreads, for example. A lot is talked about in the new series about jam.

Meghan video for the devastating forest fires

The series was supposed to appear weeks ago, but at that time the fires raged in California, which cost many people their home. That didn’t seem to be a suitable point in time for a series about happiness at home. The Duchess of Sussex also published a video in which she explained how she organized a T-shirt by Billie Eilish for a family affected.

The British tabloid press, with which the couple came up, did not say a good word in the campaign. The “Daily Mail” evaluated the appearance as embarrassing and Meghan as the “Marie-Antoinette of Montecito”.

In the new series, Meghan with comments has been holding back to the past few years, making only a few hints. For example, it insists that it is no longer called Markle, but sussex. And towards the end she tells how enthusiastic about this new chapter – it is part of the creativity that she missed so much. But a top against your time with duties in the Royal Family? In love, Meghan.
