Netflix viewers have mocked Meghan Markle as she shared the behind-the-scene secrets of how she rustles up snacks for guests in her new Netflix docuseries.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, who now refers to herself as Meghan Sussex, has starred in her new lifestyle series, With love, Meghan.
You can take a look at the trailer below:
The new series shares her personal passions, such as cooking, hosting and decorating, and its director Michael Steed praised Meghan for taking on a new challenge.
"Everyone has this one version of her, but she’s just someone who is hustling and working and doing," he told People.
"I genuinely wanted to create an environment where she could relax, and I know the pressures of what she deals with on a daily basis. I was happy that we created scenes where she could tap into that part of her life."
In the interview, Meghan admitted that 'even when I get takeout, I will try to plate it beautifully'.
"The series is about doing what you can do, and doing it with love," she added.
And this philosophy extends to her very low energy method of providing her guests with snacks.

In one scene, however, Meghan is seen with a bag of supermarket pretzels.
"This, we're just going to put into a different bag," she said.
"I know that Daniel [her friend] loves peanut butter, but I'm going to label this anyway, you always want to be conscious if someone has a nut allergy."
Commenting on the segment, one Netflix viewer tweeted: "In Meghan Markle's Netflix cookery series, she teaches us mere mortals how to transfer pretzels from one bag into another. Several sources say both Mary Berry and Prue Leith have resigned from their own shows for not thinking of this genius method first."
"She literally takes pretzels out of one plastic bag and puts it into another plastic bag and labels it," a second wrote.

"Meghan Markle at-home entertainment 101 — in a home that isn’t even her own," a third wrote.
"Take a bag of Trader Joe’s peanut butter pretzel nuggets, transfer them into another plastic bag and seal it shut with a rustic twine bow for cute guest snacks.

"Not even nine minutes into episode one."

Meghan Markle admits new surname her and kids use after stepping back from royal duties in surprise interview
Meghan Markle has opened up about her personal life in a new interview
Meghan Markle has confirmed that she and her kids use a different surname in a surprise new interview.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has opened up about her personal life ahead of the release of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, 40, share Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, together.
This comes after the pair announced their decision to step back as senior members of the British royal family on 8 January 2020, and officially stopped working for the royals on 31 March 31 2020.
Following their move to Montecito, California, Meghan says she and her children now go by the last name 'Sussex'.
“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognised how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she told People.

“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me."
She claims the Sussex name 'is part of our love story'.
Her new reality series has been filmed in Montecito, and shows Meghan in her 'kitchen, garden', where she will 'host friends both old and new'.
According to Netflix's Tudum, guests include 'Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends'.
The programme was due to come out in January, but was delayed due to the ongoing devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires.
“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” Meghan said.

On the series, she added: “When your children get to a certain age — when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again — it’s super joyful.
“As a woman, a mom and a wife, to be able to find yourself again — in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older — is a wonderful feeling.”
In 2017, Meghan stopped posting on her food and lifestyle blog 'The Tig', which she made back in the Suits days in 2014.
“Well, I loved The Tig, but I certainly love my husband more,” she admitted. “So that was a choice I made at the time, and I wouldn’t change that for a second.”
With Love, Meghan will be available to stream on Netflix from 4 March.

Meghan Markle gives short response when asked about Suits return in brand new interview
The Duchess of Sussex shared her thoughts on Suits: LA, which premiered last month
Meghan Markle has shared her thoughts on the highly anticipated Suits spin-off in a new interview.
Fans of the hit legal drama have been desperate to know what the Duchess of Sussex - who starred in seven seasons of the show - thinks of its resurgence.
Stephen Amell is at the forefront of the new series titled Suits: LA, which centres around his character - Ted Black.
The former federal prosecutor moves his powerful practice from New York to Los Angeles - and he must work out how to navigate a rocky period as his firm is plunged into crisis.
Black is forced to take on a role he has despised throughout his career for the sake of survival, all while dealing with ghosts from his past who have come back to haunt him.
The series premiered on 23 February on NBC, and fans in the States can also stream Suits: LA on Peacock.
Producer Aaron Korsh created both of the series, and he informed fans he wasn't 'trying to replace the beloved' original cast before its debut a few weeks ago.
"This cast is great, in my opinion," he said in a post on X back in January. "Not trying to replace our beloved originals. Just a new crew working in a different city handling different kinds of cases."

It seems that Markle is in agreement with Korsh, if her comments in her new interview with People are anything to go by.
The mother-of-two, 43, provided a short and sweet response when she was asked what she thought of Suits: LA.
"I love that it gets a new breath of fresh air," Markle said, revealing that she still treasures a souvenir she took from the very first episode of Suits.
The actress, who played paralegal Rachel Zane in the show, added: "It’s a time capsule for me - I still have the pencil skirt from the first episode! That’s the one thing I kept."
Her former Suits co-stars and Korsh have discussed the prospect of her returning to the series, which she departed at the end of season seven.
Everyone said they'd have Markle back in a heartbeat, although they weren't sure whether the Duchess would fancy dusting off her acting skills.

Korsh told People last month that she has an 'open invitation' to reprise her role somehow, but he's unsure whether it 'would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall'.
"We have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor," the Suits creator said.
"I think, for me, that's a little... my brain blows up at the thought of that. Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back."
Patrick J Adams, who played Markle's on-screen love interest Mike Ross, also said Suits - and the entire entertainment industry for that matter - would be 'lucky to have her back'.
"Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle," the actor said. "They gotta come down to LA, they gotta fix some stuff.
"If we got the phone call, if I got the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again. I love the show, I love the character and I loved working with all these people."

Everything Suits cast has said about Meghan Markle return as spin-off releases first episode
Suits: LA has released the first episode, and many are wondering if Markle will return
Suits has officially lived three lives now; the first in its initial successful on the USA network, the second on Netflix, where it became one of the most streamed shows ever, and now a third in Suits: LA, the spin-off of the legal drama.
With Gabriel Macht returning as Harvey Specter for the LA-based spin-off which aired its first episode Sunday, talk has already turned to which other characters from the hit show are set to come back.
Two of the show’s main characters, Michael Ross (Patrick J Adams) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), left the series at the end of season seven after getting married to one another.
While Adams returned for a few appearances after this, that was Markle’s last time acting. With the series set in LA, where Markle is from, many will be wondering if she is set to return to the Suits universe.
Why did Meghan Markle leave Suits?

Markle and the show’s creator Aaron Korsh have both been very open about the fact that she left the show due to her engagement to Prince Harry.
She said in an interview after leaving the show: “I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change. It’s a new chapter, right?
“Keep in mind, I’ve been working on [Suits] for seven years. We were very, very fortunate to have that sort of longevity on a series. I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team.”

Korsh was honest in saying that Markle had been written out of the show a year prior to her announcement she was leaving, with the writers banking on the success of her relationship with Prince Harry.
Korsh said in an interview with People magazine: “We have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor.
“I think, for me, that's a little ... my brain blows up at the thought of that.
“Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.”
He went on to say that, if she came back, it would be together with Adams’ Mike Ross.

The new show is led by Stephen Amell, who plays former prosecutor Ted Black.
While Amell never shared the screen with Markle on Suits, he did say of the possibility of her appearing: “You never say never—people come back—you never know.
“She’s always welcome, of course she’s always welcome.”
Macht meanwhile was similarly open to it, saying: “I see any of the characters in the original show having an opportunity for doing what they do best to share their talents.”
Patrick J Adams was also not against it, saying: “I think Meghan is a fantastic actress. We'd be lucky to have her back in the industry.
"Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle. They gotta come down to LA, they gotta fix some stuff.
"If we got the phone call, if I got the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again. I love the show, I love the character and I loved working with all these people."

The last Markle spoke about returning to acting at all, let alone Suits, was in 2022 in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Though the actor said you can never say never, she did state that there were no plans for her to return.
She said: “I left Suits right after the 100th episode, in 2018. I didn’t think I’d ever be in the entertainment industry again.
"But the entire culture has changed; streamers have changed things. The ability to create zeitgeist moments like we had in the ‘90s – where everyone would tune in at the same time for a show or gather for one moment – that doesn’t happen anymore.”

Suits star gave Meghan Markle a warning when he found out she was dating Prince Harry
Meghan Markle was apparently offered some stern advice from her Suits co-star
One of Meghan Markle's Suits co-stars gave the former actress a warning after discovering she was dating Prince Harry.
Before she was known as the Duchess of Sussex, Markle was an established actress who was playing the role of Rachel Zane on the legal drama - which is currently undergoing a revival since being added to Netflix.
When Markle was first linked to the Prince in 2016, several people around the world were left shocked at a member of the Royal Family was dating an American actress - and that included the cast of Suits.
Several of Markle's Suits co-stars had learned about the relationship before the rest of the world, however, this didn't stop them from being surprised by the revelation.
Revealing their reactions on the Today show ahead of Meghan and Harry's Royal Wedding in May 2018, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres shared the words of advice they gave their former co-star about her new relationship.
Rick, who played Louis Litt on the show, said it was a surprise when he first found out.
"I had gotten the news early, and I was like, 'You got to be kidding me'. And it was like, both of us in the trailer like, 'Oh my. You're going - you're dating a prince?'"
After the initial news sunk in Rick was quick to share his advice, telling Markle: "I was just like, 'Well, take it slow. Be careful. Don't let him hurt you'."

Meghan and Harry first started dating in 2016 after being set up on a blind date by a mutual friend, before the news eventually made it into the press the following October.
Harry later proposed to the actress in November 2017, which saw her leave her role as Rachel Zane after seven seasons.
"[She said] that he's lovely. You know, they're a great match," Sarah added. "We worked so many years together on a show.
"We were with each other for longer than we went to college or high school. We became family in a way. We're still family. This is a wonderful family affair."
"We knew she was excited. And there was reason to keep it, you know, close to the vest," Gina added.

Suits would run for two more seasons after Meghan left, before ending in 2019.
