Meghan Markle has been slammed for the “cringey” trailer for her With Love, Meghan Christmas special, where she kisses Prince Harry. The clip was shared on Instagram by the Duchess of Sussex, and a royal commentator has since labelled the timing of the release as “execrable”.
The trailer for With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration features a number of guests, including tennis player Naomi Osaka and chef Tom Colicchio. However, a royal commentator has criticised Meghan for sharing the trailer on Wednesday (November 19), claiming that it will likely get “more coverage” than Prince William and Princess Catherine’s appearance at the Royal Variety Performance.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: “Meghan’s new trailer for her festive special needed Serena Williams or another famous name to enable it to reach beyond the smiley, cringey world she has created, which isn’t likely to go anywhere new. I strongly doubt that Netflix will want more of what she’s produced so far in With Love, Meghan in the New Year. You see this and wonder what is in it for the streaming giant.
He added: “William and Kate attend the Royal Variety Performance tonight but they will probably find Harry and Meghan’s kiss gets more coverage. The timing is execrable and Harry’s reported offer to share diaries hasn’t got very far. The trouble is, when Meghan’s festive show airs he may be little more than an extra – he should beware, it may be a sign.”
The trailer also shows Meghan preparing a holiday wreath and wrapping presents. The California-based royal shared the clip on her social media and declared her “love” for the holiday season.
The trailer caught attention on Wednesday as it involves Meghan and Harry sharing a kiss. The pair are rarely seen embracing in public so the act of PDA came as a surprise to viewers.
Meghan can also be heard saying in the trailer clip: “Being a hostess or a host is about making people feel comfortable.”
The Christmas special, which is set to be released on Netflix on December 3, will give viewers into an insight into how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrate the festive period. They have spent every year since 2018 celebrating the holiday in Canada or the US.
