'I actually feel sorry for her' Alexander Larman on Meghan Markle’s ‘unwatchable’ Netflix show

Meghan Markle is back on our screens with her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. She’s launched into full lifestyle guru mode with a portrait of what some might describe as dated aspiration, making rainbow fruit platters, 'skillet' spaghetti, and balloon arches; not from her own kitchen, of course, but from a set in Montecito.

Is the new series the launch of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, influencer? Or is it the last thing she’s going to make for Netflix? Alexander Larman, books editor of Spectator World and author of Power and Glory, joins features editor Will Moore to discuss.#royals #sussexes #harryandmeghan #netflix #withlove
