Meghan Markle’s attempt to establish herself as a lifestyle guru has encountered yet another legal and dermatological setback. First, there were concerns over bath salts that could potentially burn the skin, and now legal experts are warning that she might face lawsuits for unintentionally endangering viewers through her Netflix series.
In one episode of With Love, Meghan, she demonstrated a DIY bath salt recipe so irresponsibly formulated that both dermatologists and attorneys have raised serious concerns. The mixture, consisting of Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, arnica oil, and lavender oil, may sound indulgent at first, but there was one glaring omission—a carrier oil. Without a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil, essential oils do not dissolve in water, instead floating on the surface, where they can cause skin irritation, rashes, and even chemical burns. When a crew member inquired about specific measurements, Meghan casually dismissed the concern, responding with a vague “quite a bit,” seemingly unbothered by the potential risks of omitting basic safety precautions.
Celebrity attorney Christopher Melcher has warned that if a viewer were to follow Meghan’s bath salt recipe and suffer an adverse skin reaction, both she and Netflix could face legal consequences. The absence of a safety disclaimer only increases the risk. Given that lawsuits have been filed over hot coffee, distributing untested skincare recipes on a globally streamed platform seems like a reckless move. Esthetician Jennifer Christopherson emphasized that essential oils cannot simply be added to a bath without proper dilution, stating that Meghan appears uninformed on the subject.
The questionable advice does not stop at bath salts. Meghan’s lifestyle recommendations extend to the kitchen, where she casually adorns food with flowers without specifying whether they are safe for consumption. No warnings, no guidance—just a decorative flourish that could potentially send an unsuspecting viewer to the hospital. A legal expert has already pointed out that if Netflix does not issue a disclaimer soon, someone could end up ingesting a toxic plant simply because Meghan did it first. One critic even joked that Prince Harry should exercise caution, likening the situation to an upscale version of spiking a smoothie.
Social media users were quick to mock the situation, with one person sarcastically suggesting that Meghan identifies flowers by whatever arrives in a FedEx package from China and labels it gourmet. Another commented that if someone is going to advise the public to sprinkle flowers on their meals, they should at least clarify which ones are not lethal. A professional chef weighed in, explaining that edible flowers must be specifically cultivated for consumption. Although they may resemble backyard blooms, the flowers sold in gourmet stores undergo rigorous safety testing, particularly for pesticide exposure.
Between the hazardous bath salts and the potential danger of unknowingly consuming poisonous flowers, With Love, Meghan is quickly becoming a cautionary tale rather than a trusted lifestyle guide. Dermatologists are alarmed, lawyers are paying close attention, and viewers are left either laughing or reevaluating their entire approach to skincare and nutrition.
