A Different Perspective on the Duchess

Meghan Markle’s recent Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, provides a fresh lens into her life as the Duchess of Sussex. Released on March 4, this culinary journey differs from Markle’s previous documentary, Harry & Meghan, focusing instead on her love for cooking and family engagement.

Food as a Love Language

Throughout the series, Markle emphasizes that her way of expressing affection is through feeding others. In the premiere episode, she shares a beloved recipe for “single skillet spaghetti” with her long-time friend and makeup artist, Daniel Martin. He points out, “You’ve always shown your love through food,” to which Meghan responds, “It’s a big love language.”

In a later episode, she reaffirmed, “I love feeding people. I think it’s probably my love language,” highlighting the significance of this nurturing practice in her life.

Creative Culinary Ideas

In a promotional clip released prior to the show, Meghan demonstrates how to create an eye-catching fruit platter arranged as a rainbow. She encourages viewers to consider simple adaptations that can bring joy to their families, saying, “You don’t have to do a big platter like this. You could do one small row [of each] for your kids for breakfast, genuinely, and it makes the morning a lot more fun.”

She also expresses the joy of being a present parent, elaborating on how finding delight in small moments can lead to cherished family experiences.

Breakfast with Family

Markle shares her daily routine, stating, “I wake up every morning and take a lot of pride in making breakfast for my family.” As mornings can be rushed, she finds joy in preparing meals, especially noting her husband Prince Harry’s preference for breakfast. She humorously remarks, “I find when I’m cooking bacon, my kitchen very immediately becomes full of husband and three dogs,” adding a playful twist by referencing a popular song: “My bacon brings all the boys to the yard.”

A Collaborative Kitchen

While Meghan keenly expresses her love for cooking, she also acknowledges Prince Harry’s culinary skills, stating that he can make “a really good breakfast.” This collaborative aspect of their family life showcases a shared commitment to nourishing their loved ones.
