Meghan Markle has once again outdone herself in a spectacular display of contrived quirkiness. In what can only be described as the Duchess of Desperation’s latest attempt at relatability, she shared a behind-the-scenes clip from her upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
As expected, the video vanished from Instagram almost as quickly as Prince Harry’s last shred of dignity. With the premiere just days away, Meghan treated the world to a painfully forced montage of herself attempting to embody the effortless coolness and natural charm of Jennifer Lawrence. The result? A bizarre fusion of exaggerated facial expressions, overly rehearsed spontaneity, and enough outfit changes to leave even a Broadway performer dizzy.
If you squint hard enough, you might almost believe her antics were unplanned. She twirls, she dances, she giggles with the crew—oh look, there’s Harry fulfilling his contractual cameo—while parading around in a series of beige ensembles that practically scream, I have no personality, but please think I’m effortlessly chic.
Jennifer Lawrence built her reputation on being genuinely goofy and relatable. She trips at the Oscars, makes self-deprecating jokes about food, and embraces her awkwardness without an ounce of self-consciousness. Meghan, on the other hand, appears to have studied “quirky” under a microscope, carefully curating every expression and movement in a desperate bid to convince the public she’s just like the rest of us.
Perhaps the most baffling thing about Meghan is her ever-shifting persona. One moment, she’s a serious humanitarian; the next, she’s a sultry siren; now, she’s apparently the Duchess of Dorkiness. Watching her public evolution is like witnessing someone throw designer beige spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks—except nothing ever does. And let’s not pretend the timing was a coincidence. The clip conveniently surfaced on the same day Prince William and Princess Catherine visited Wales. What are the odds? It’s not as if Meghan has a history of orchestrating her big reveals to coincide with actual royal engagements… oh wait.
As With Love, Meghan prepares to drop on Netflix, one has to ask: Who is this even for? The average viewer craves authenticity, not someone switching personas like costume changes at a photoshoot. The show’s premise—offering gardening, cooking, and hosting tips—is laughable given that Meghan has never exactly exuded domesticity. Realistically, her idea of “hosting” probably involves hiring a Michelin-starred chef and taking credit for the meal.
Adding to the spectacle, Harry makes his usual guest appearance because, let’s be honest, what’s a Meghan project without dragging Prince Numbskull along for emotional support? Even their beloved beagle, Guy, makes a brief cameo—a bittersweet moment considering he passed away last year. Though, let’s be real, if dogs could roll their eyes, he probably would have.
Meghan’s relentless rebranding has gone from amusing to outright tragic. If she truly wants to be quirky, she should at least try being authentically quirky, not delivering this soulless performance that even South Park’s parody of her made look generous. So here’s some free advice, Meghan: step outside, breathe some fresh air, and take a break from the constant reinvention. Because at this rate, even Jennifer Lawrence is probably watching this disaster unfold and thinking, Girl, just stop.
