Meghan Markle is counting down the days until the release of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. The eight-part show is set to premiere on 15 January and will see Meghan inviting friends and famous guests to a California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.
In order to promote the lifestyle series, Meghan returned to Instagram for the first time in seven years, sharing the trailer with her excited fans. But the Duchess suffered a serious setback after Instagram mistakenly restricted searches for the hashtag #WithLoveMeghan.
The social media platform, owned by Meta, rushed to correct the error after backlash from Meghan's supporters, who noticed that searches for the term had been blocked due to "sensitive content". The company said: "We blocked people's ability to search for terms related to potential child safety risks. In this case, the search term #WithLoveMeghan was restricted in error and has now been corrected.".
The two-minute-long trailer released by Netflix on Thursday shows Meghan wandering rows of a meticulously kept garden, choosing fresh flowers, harvesting honey, kneading homemade bread and working in the kitchen with a lineup of famous friends, including Mindy Kaling and Suits star Abigail Spencer.
But it has left various experts baffled, with some questioning who will resonate with the glossy content. Royal historian and expert Dr Tessa Dunlop told the Mirror: "It is all too easy to mock Meghan and the perfect world she presents in her new Netflix trailer: shiny (slightly) famous friends, effortfully fresh food, Insta-ready images.
