<p id=”par-1_53″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/”>Meghan Markle</a>‘s Netflix lifestyle series <em>With Love, Meghan</em>, debuts in less than one week. However, it appears Meghan is more disconnected than ever when it comes to how most people live. She doles out-of-touch advice to her celebrity guests, including Mindy Kaling, who is prominently featured in one of the series’ eight episodes.</p>

<p id=”par-2_34″><a href=”https://time.com/7210356/mindy-kaling-running-point-meghan-markle-legally-blonde/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Time Magazine </a>spoke to Meghan Markle’s friend Mindy Kaling, who revealed details of advice Meghan shared with her about entertaining. Kaling appears on one of the eight episodes of <em>With Love, Meghan</em> for Netflix.</p>
<p id=”par-3_32″>Kaling shared the biggest “misconception” about Meghan. “She really is a down-to-earth person who knows a lot of fun tricks to make entertaining and cooking easier,” the actor, writer, and producer shared.</p>
<p id=”par-4_51″>Kaling revealed that when she filmed Meghan’s Netflix series, she was on maternity leave with her third child, a daughter. “Meghan texted me that she was doing a show where she was going to cook for her friends. Would I want to come to Montecito and have her cook for me?”</p>
<p id=”par-5_30″>Kaling left the delicious shoot with a full belly, and a basket of fresh produce, homemade jam, and hot sauce. She also learned some of Meghan’s entertaining tips and tricks.</p>
<p id=”par-6_33″>“I love cooking, but I’m really not good at entertaining. I don’t know anything about how you’re not supposed to use overhead lighting when people come over. You’re supposed to use little lamps.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_48″>She concluded, “Meghan just knows how to do that stuff. For kids’ parties I usually just go to the party supply store and get paper things, which I don’t judge, and neither does she. But it was fun to learn simple ways to do a homemade kids’ party.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_46″>Meghan Markle’s lifestyle advice promotes wellness and empowerment but lacks real-world practicality. From advocating for self-care rituals that include luxury spa treatments to discussing financial independence while living in a multi-million-dollar Montecito estate, her guidance is out of touch with the struggles of everyday people. </p>
<p id=”par-9_40″>In a 2022 interview with <a href=”https://www.thecut.com/article/meghan-markle-profile-interview.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Cut</a>, Meghan spoke about “making active choices” to create a better life. Yet an argument can be made that Meghan’s privileged status makes her advice unrealistic for those balancing jobs, families, and financial hardships.</p>
<p id=”par-10_43″>While Meghan has been praised for encouraging mindfulness and self-improvement, she lacks awareness of the challenges facing average individuals. Her <em>Archetypes</em> podcast on Spotify aimed to explore women’s struggles, yet much of the discussion centered around celebrity experiences rather than common hardships. </p>
<p id=”par-11_25″>As Meghan continues to build her brand, an ongoing debate among royal watchers ensues. Is Meghan offering meaningful insight, or is she disconnected from reality?</p>
