Actress Mindy Kaling enthusiastically endorsed Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," highlighting her friend's cooking abilities and warm personality. Kaling's praise comes just days after the series trailer's release, adding further buzz around the project.
Kaling, speaking at the 2025 Golden Globes, described her experience working with Markle as "one of the most glamorous moments of my life." She specifically lauded Markle's cooking, contrasting it with her own perceived culinary limitations. Kaling found Markle's recipes surprisingly accessible, despite the Duchess's impressive garden and chickens.
"She has a garden from scratch, which I could never do, and chickens," Kaling joked. "They would all die if I tried to take care of chickens!" She also commented on Prince Harry's purported cooking skills.
This public support follows Kaling's prior collaboration with Markle on the Archetypes podcast, showcasing a continued close relationship between the two. Kaling's recent Instagram post, playfully adopting Markle's persona while cooking, further underscores their bond and Kaling's support for Markle's project.
The series, filmed at a Californian farmhouse, aims to combine practical advice with personal conversations. This marks a return to lifestyle content for Markle, reminiscent of her previous blog. Despite significant fan excitement, some critics have voiced concerns about the timing of the series launch given current global challenges. Meghan McCain, for example, criticized the series as "utterly tone deaf" and "out of touch."
The series' release has drawn considerable attention, fueled by Markle's star-studded guest list and her return to lifestyle content. This apparent focus on personal projects follows the recent controversies and media attention surrounding the Sussexes.
