The reception of the series has been cool to say the least, with the Daily Mail writing: “It is so awful it is almost compelling.”
It also sparked new rumours online about what it’s like to work with the 43-year-old, echoing previous reports that she was branded ‘Duchess Difficult’.

However, a Netflix crew member has now praised Meghan, revealing the Duchess made them feel “included”.
Speaking to People, they explained: “She made sure everyone felt included, from Netflix executives to our director to every PA on set. No one was left out.
“Most of the time, we’re expected to fade into the background, to be invisible. But in this show, we were part of it.
“We were included. It was a very unique and refreshing experience.”
These statements go against previous reports, with a source close to the Sussex’s claiming back in September that “everyone is terrified of Meghan,” adding: “[Meghan] belittles people, she doesn’t take advice.
“They’re both poor decision-makers; they change their minds frequently.”
The Hollywood Reporter at the time added that “noisy tantrums and angry 5am emails” had earned Meghan the title of “Duchess Difficult”.
While another source claimed she is “absolutely relentless”, explaining: “She marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders… “I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears.”
More recently, Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, also didn’t hold back, saying “everything is pre-planned and rehearsed.”
He explained in an interview with The Mail: “Unfortunately, Meghan has never been authentic. She has to think about everything. She’s not spontaneous.
“Everything she says is pre-planned and rehearsed. It makes me laugh because I know all her looks and expressions.
“I know when she’s faking it for the cameras. She’s trying so hard to be perfect that she tenses up every time the camera is on her.”
Netflix has renewed With Love, Meghan, for a second season.
