Good Morning Britain viewers were all left saying the same thing as a row erupted between two guests live on air during a debate about Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show.
The Duchess of Sussex announced her new lifestyle series on Thursday (January 2) – which the streaming service describes as a programme that blends “practical how-to’s and candid conversation”.
With Love, Meghan premieres on January 15 and includes eight 30-minute episodes featuring appearances from celebrities such as actress Mindy Kaling and former Suits star Abigail Spencer.
In the trailer released on Thursday, Meghan garnishes a cake with raspberries and harvests honey in California, where she lives with her husband Prince Harry and two children.

Presenters Kate Garraway and Adil Ray invited entertainment journalist Stephanie Takyi and activist and social commentator Imarn Ayton to the GMB set on Friday (January 3) to discuss Meghan’s relaunch, but the fiery exchange didn’t sit well with the audience.
Imarn slammed Meghan for a lack of authenticity and critiqued her choice to don “baggy jeans” on the programme, while Stephanie argued it was time the public witnessed the “real Meghan”.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Another pointless Meghan segment.” Another added: “Why do you at @GMB feel the need to bang on about Meghan Markle?” A third person said: “Meghan! Who cares?” A fourth social media user moaned: “Ahhh….end of the week on #GMB and it’s Meghan bashing time.”
Meghan posted the trailer on her new Instagram account, writing: “I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.”
The news comes a day after the duchess returned to Instagram under the account @meghan. Her first post showed her dressed in white, running on an overcast beach, to write 2025 in the sand, before dashing past the camera laughing.
Meghan’s second post shared the trailer for her upcoming show. In it, she is seen making food in a home kitchen, shopping for flowers, and laughing and eating with friends. Meghan, formerly an actress, married Prince Harry in 2018. The couple stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California.
Since then, the pair have started a production company and charitable foundation, and pursued various ventures, including another Netflix show, called Harry & Meghan, about their relationship.
In April, the couple’s media company Archewell said two new series were in production, one celebrating “the joys of cooking & gardening, entertaining, and friendship” (now known to be With Love, Meghan), and another exploring the world of professional polo which aired in December.
Meghan also previously hosted a Spotify podcast Archetypes about stereotypes against women, and launched a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard in 2024.
