Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle series for Netflix has been dubbed an “unreality show” by an expert who said the duchess promoted a “strong sexual theme” in what was seen as an “overriding visual narrative” that focused on highlighting her “adorability and undiluted sweetness”. With Love, Meghan premiered on Tuesday morning in the UK and consists of eight 33-minute episodes showing the Duchess of Sussex prepping food and giving hosting tips and tricks to various celebrity pals, including makeup artist Daniel Martin, actress Mindy Kaling and former Suits star Abigail Spencer, as well as chefs Roy Choi and Alice Waters.

However, body language expert Judi James was critical of Meghan’s appearance and the overall theme of her latest offering to Netflix. She said on behalf of Casino Org: “Meghan’s unreality show is also a dystopian nightmare for feminists, a glimpse of how women might have looked had we never got the vote and been consigned to a Jane Austen world of sprigged cotton and flower arranging, where survival meant marrying rich and entertaining the locals.” She added: “There is a strong sexual theme to this series that projects from Meghan’s powerful use of her vocal tone. When it’s not bubbling like a brook it becomes sexily husky and creaky. She sounds breathless at times and then, most sensual of all, she will dip to a whisper with a ‘yes’ or other intimate-sounding moments of shared appreciation. If you spoke like this in your day job you’d be like catnip to guys. She introduces this as her ‘Bee tone’ at the start of the show but the whisper is a signature tonal device whether there are bees around or not.”

The Duchess of Sussex has been approached for comment.
