Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has ignited a major backlash after royal expert Angela Levin accused her of mocking the late Queen Elizabeth II. The controversy erupted over a bizarre scene involving green waffles, which critics claim is an attempt to imitate the late monarch.
Levin, a well-known royal commentator, expressed her outrage in an interview with GBN Originals. She claimed Meghan’s choice of appearance in the show—including subtle nods like white hair—was a calculated move meant to undermine the Royal Family. “It’s shocking beyond words,” Levin stated, accusing the Duchess of Sussex of playing mind games with the public.
The criticism doesn’t end there. Levin also pointed to a past incident where Meghan was seen laughing while curtsying, which many saw as a blatant insult to royal traditions. “She mocked the protocol back then, and she’s doing it again,” Levin argued, emphasizing that Meghan’s pattern of behavior is no accident.
Adding fuel to the fire, broadcaster Nana Akua also weighed in on Meghan’s Netflix performance, describing her demeanor as “manic” and “a bit crazy.” Akua suggested that Meghan appeared to be portraying a version of herself that felt out of character, making it difficult for audiences to take her seriously.
Late-night TV hosts have also joined the criticism. Jimmy Fallon recently poked fun at Meghan’s culinary skills, jokingly questioning why she insists on making her own pretzel bags. His remarks reflect a growing trend of skepticism surrounding Meghan’s attempts to position herself as a lifestyle guru.
Food critics, too, have raised concerns over the originality of Meghan’s recipes. Experts pointed out that her single-skillet spaghetti closely resembles a dish featured in chef Anna Jones’ 2015 cookbook. This has led to speculation that Meghan’s so-called “original” recipes may not be as unique as she claims.
Despite the mounting backlash, With Love, Meghan still managed to debut in Netflix’s global top 10 rankings. The show’s commercial success has sparked debate, with some arguing that its popularity is driven more by controversy than by genuine interest in Meghan’s content.
Netflix has already renewed the series for a second season, doubling down on its $100 million partnership with Meghan and Prince Harry. However, many believe that the streaming giant is banking on the couple’s ability to generate headlines rather than focusing on quality content.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has come to Meghan’s defense, stating that she is often “underestimated” when it comes to her cultural influence. “People are fascinated by her,” Sarandos said, dismissing the criticism as part of the ongoing media scrutiny surrounding the Duchess.
Even with Netflix’s support, the backlash against With Love, Meghan shows no signs of slowing down. Royal commentators continue to call out what they see as disrespectful behavior, while Meghan’s critics accuse her of deliberately stirring controversy for attention.
The accusations of mocking the Queen are particularly damaging given Meghan’s already strained relationship with the Royal Family. Many royal watchers believe this latest scandal will only deepen the divide between Meghan and the Windsors, making reconciliation even more unlikely.
As public opinion remains split, one thing is clear—Meghan’s Netflix venture is anything but neutral. Whether intentional or not, her actions continue to spark debate, ensuring that her name stays in the headlines.
With a second season already confirmed, audiences will be watching closely to see whether Meghan doubles down on her controversial approach or makes an effort to win back public favor. Either way, it’s clear that With Love, Meghan will remain one of the most talked-about projects of the year.
For now, the big question remains—has Meghan Markle gone too far, or is this just another chapter in her ongoing battle against royal tradition.
