Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has been met with criticism from an expert who claims the show promotes a “strong sexual theme” and is a “dystopian nightmare for feminists”. Body language expert Judi James said the show focuses on highlighting Meghan’s “adorability and undiluted sweetness”, but also criticized her use of vocal tone to convey intimacy, which she says could be seen as objectifying.
The series, which consists of eight 33-minute episodes, shows Meghan prepping food and giving hosting tips to various celebrity pals. However, James believes the show’s overall theme is problematic, saying it perpetuates a “Jane Austen world” where survival meant marrying rich and entertaining the locals. She also noted that Meghan’s use of her vocal tone can come across as “sexily husky and creaky”, which could be seen as a “signature tonal device” whether or not there are bees around.
The show has sparked controversy, with some critics accusing Meghan of promoting a sexist agenda. However, the Duchess of Sussex has yet to comment on the criticism. In other news, Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand As Ever was met with mixed reaction after its launch, with some experts warning that it needs a “clear identity and seamless retail experience” to succeed.
The expert added that there is “little room for failure” in today’s saturated retail scene, and warned the Duchess of Sussex that her brand needs to establish itself quickly. The show has sparked debate over Meghan Markle’s use of her royal title, with some experts shedding light on why she continues to use it despite stepping away from the firm years ago.
