If there's one thing With Love, Meghan has taught us, it's that Meghan possesses an undeniable ability to make every moment revolve around herself. What was meant to be a warm, inviting brunch with family and friends instead unfolded like a royal-themed reenactment of The Devil Wears Prada, with Alice Waters unintentionally cast as the underappreciated assistant.
The scene was set: Meghan, in what can only be described as her most effortless portrayal of a gracious host, welcomed the legendary Alice Waters into her home. But this wasn't for a heartfelt conversation about the principles of farm-to-table dining or a beautifully prepared meal. That would have made far too much sense. Instead, Alice was summoned for a far more pressing matter—assisting Meghan in the arduous task of making a salad. Yes, one of the most influential chefs of our time was essentially reduced to rinsing lettuce while feigning admiration as Meghan waxed poetic about the wonders of double-sided tape.
Of course, Meghan had a parting gift for Alice, because as she loves to remind us, love is in the details. And nothing quite says "thank you for traveling to my home to assemble a salad" like a meticulously wrapped token of appreciation. But just when we expect Alice to take a well-deserved seat and enjoy the meal she helped prepare, she mysteriously vanishes—disappearing like a sous-chef who suddenly realizes she won’t be getting paid for this gig. A culinary icon, dismissed once her sacred duty of ensuring Meghan’s salad aspirations had been fulfilled. Because why keep an actual expert around when you can be the undisputed star of your own meticulously curated brunch?
To make matters even more painfully obvious, Meghan, ever the paragon of self-awareness, proudly announced to her guests that Alice had helped prepare the food—only to be met with a sea of blank stares. It was as if she had just introduced Beyoncé at a high school talent show, only to be met with confused murmurs of, Wait, who?
But the pièce de résistance of this spectacle was Meghan’s toast. With the confidence of someone who has convinced herself she is the main character in everyone’s life, she raised her glass and declared, I just want to raise a glass to you guys—thank you for loving me so much. Ah, yes, Meghan. That’s precisely why they’re here. Not for the food, not for the company, but simply to bask in the radiant glow of your unfiltered fabulousness.
Meanwhile, in a world where people actually appreciate good food, Alice Waters was likely somewhere enjoying an organic, sustainably sourced meal, quietly chuckling at the exhausting display of performative hospitality she had managed to escape. And so, the With Love, Meghan finale delivered exactly what we expected: a self-indulgent masterclass in missing the point—starring Meghan Markle, directed by Meghan Markle, with a special guest appearance by Alice Waters... for approximately fifteen minutes before she wisely fled the scene.
Perhaps the real takeaway here is simple: if Meghan invites you to a meal, assume your role will be closer to kitchen staff than honored guest.
