<p id=”par-1_13″>It seems like everyone has an opinion about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a>‘s lifestyle show on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/netflix/?swcfpc=1″>Netflix</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-2_38″><em>With Love, Meghan </em>debuted on the streaming platform on March 4 and along with the critics, people from the duchess’s past gave their take on what they thought of the series including Meghan’s old pal Nick Ede. </p>
<p id=”par-3_76″>He and the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/”>former <em>Suits</em> star</a> became friends in 2013. He told <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1741834/meghan-markle-prince-harry-humble-friend-dxus” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Express</a>: “I do a lot of work with lots of Hollywood stars, and I was working with Eva Longoria doing all her charity work. So I asked Meghan to host the Global Gift Gala, which is a big charity event that we do. So, Meghan flew in and we became really good friends. We had a really nice, fun, good relationship and were friends for a few years.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_24″>So why did they stop talking? Here’s what Ede said about that and what he didn’t like about the Duchess of Sussex’s show. </p>

<p id=”par-5_48″>Ede has seen Meghan’s Netflix show and spoke about what bothered him when he watched it explaining: “I always look at everything I do … saying to myself ‘Do you care?’ and the first thing I did when I watched it was say ‘No I don’t care.’ </p>
<p id=”par-6_41″>“There was nothing about it that I cared for. I didn’t care about the way I felt I was being almost patronized. I didn’t care for the way that the guests were treated. I didn’t really care about the takeaway tips.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_52″>He added: “I felt they were all pretty patronizing. Especially the one about wrapping a present and using the side to make sure the edges are sharp. You know that kind of thing is so basic I felt almost patronized by Netflix for actually making me endure this for quite a few hours.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_25″>Ede did have some praise for his old pal saying: “She looked fabulous and gorgeous but there was a shyness too, which was very endearing.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_12″>Following Ede’s comments some wondered why he and Meghan stopped talking. </p>
<p id=”par-10_86″>Ede told <a href=”https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/821330/meghan-markles-close-former-friend-reveals-why-the-pair-stopped-speaking/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Hello!’s A Right Royal Podcast</em></a>: “Things cooled off [after Harry and Meghan met] … We were messaging each other when she was feeling bullied and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-harry/?swcfpc=1″>Prince Harry</a> put out that statement, and I said, ‘I’m glad you’ve got somebody who’s actually supporting’ and she said, ‘That really means a lot.’ Our friendship was generally a good friendship. We’d message and text each other a lot … I have my own charity and she was going to help and write about it on <em>The Tig</em>.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_13″>However, Meghan became less accessible as her relationship with Prince Harry grew. </p>
<p id=”par-12_33″>“I got the Piers Morgan treatment in the end,” Ede joked referring to Morgan’s claim that he and the duchess had a friendship but she completely “ghosted him” when she started seeing Harry.</p>
