Meghan Markle is fuming, and in true Meghan fashion, she refuses to take any responsibility. The backlash over her "With Love, Meghan" bath salt fiasco isn’t her fault—at least, not according to her. Instead, reports suggest she is directing her anger at Daniel Martin.
Meghan is reportedly livid that her meticulously curated hosting tips, complete with extravagant guest room rituals and must-have bath salts, have become the subject of widespread ridicule. Much of the mockery was fueled by Gogglebox, which mercilessly tore into her hospitality segment. And in classic Markle logic, she has decided that Daniel Martin is the one to blame—simply because he had the audacity to share a snapshot of the elaborate welcome package she prepared for him.
Of course, Gogglebox did what the British do best: they took Meghan’s lavish hosting standards and dunked them into a steaming pot of sarcasm. On the latest episode, the UK’s favorite couch critics couldn’t hide their disbelief as Meghan proudly declared that one of her favorite activities is preparing the guest room whenever she has company. The reaction? A collective eye roll. The Gogglebox stars wasted no time in questioning her over-the-top hospitality habits. Sophie Sandiford, never one to hold back, laughed at the absurdity, confessing that her own guest preparation routine typically consists of little more than sniffing the duvet cover to make sure it’s fresh.
But the real highlight came when Meghan revealed the painstaking attention she gives to what she places beside the bed—and, most importantly, the type of bath salts she provides. Because, in her world, a weekend stay at Meghan’s is incomplete without an artisanal, hand-selected, Markle-approved bath. The cast of Gogglebox had questions, and Tom Malone put it best: "Have you ever been a guest at someone’s house and had a bath?" Sha Malone, summing up the collective sentiment, chimed in: "You can go to someone’s house for the night and have a shower—that’s normal. But a bath? That’s just weird."
Then came the Instagram post that sparked an entirely new wave of mockery. Daniel Martin, Meghan’s trusted makeup artist, made the unfortunate mistake of showcasing the bespoke welcome package she had arranged for him—an elegant display of bath salts, treats, fresh flowers, and a heartfelt note. His innocent social media flex inadvertently gave the world a glimpse into the Sussex guest suite, revealing its chevron flooring and pristine décor. However, not everyone was impressed. Twitter swiftly delivered its verdict. One user quipped, "If we’ve now watched that dreadful Meghan program via Gogglebox, does that mean we don’t have to watch it for real?" Another added, "Meghan is as fake as a four-pound note." The backlash was swift, brutal, and entirely predictable.
But the real entertainment arrived when reports emerged that Meghan was furious over the ridicule. Rather than taking a moment to reflect on the sheer absurdity of her show, she instead chose to blame Daniel Martin for the entire debacle. Because, in her mind, the problem wasn’t that she treated a Netflix special like an influencer vlog—it was that Daniel dared to post a picture of the bath salts. Allegedly, Meghan is convinced that his seemingly harmless Instagram post is what turned her hospitality showcase into meme material. Not the fact that she waxed poetic about bedtime essentials and the "spiritual importance" of lavender-infused Epsom salts. No, the public’s exhaustion with all things Sussex is, apparently, all Daniel’s fault.
