Meghan Markle's "silly" new Netflix lifestyle series is just "fake lifestyle stuff", a commentator has claimed.
The show, With Love, Meghan, premiered on the streaming platform four days ago.
The series features the Duchess of Sussex sharing cooking, gardening and hosting tips across eight episodes.
The Netflix series consists of eight 33-minute episodes where Markle invites famous friends to "a beautiful California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips".

"Let's have a little bit more than that. I think people are really objecting to the the smugness, the fake, the fakery of it all.
"It is fake. Even the kitchen is not her own. This thing about this is where mama cooks.
"Well, it's not where mama cooks. And don't refer to yourself as mama in the third person.
"That is really quite close to making me feel sick. This all leaves a bad taste in the mouth, which is not what you want from a cookery and lifestyle show."
The show is being viewed as a pivotal moment for the Sussexes, who signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix in 2020.
Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet sent Markle flowers ahead of the series launch. The card read: "Congratulations mumma! We love your show, and we love you!"
Markle also shared videos of herself surprising fans at a special screening. Some attendees displayed temporary tattoos featuring Meghan's "As Ever" logo.
In an interview with US magazine People, Markle described the "learning curve" she experienced with the series.

The change came after facing trademarking setbacks. Netflix is a partner in her business venture.
Markle has explained that As Ever means "it's always been", referencing her previous lifestyle blog The Tig from 2014.
