“I was so excited to share this with you! I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed making it. I wish you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the @netflix team. I am extremely grateful for the support — and the fun! As always, Meghan,” she wrote in her post about the series, which included its trailer and will be available to watch on January 15.
“We’re not looking for perfection, we’re looking for joy,” Meghan says in a voiceover in the trailer. “Love is in the details.”
Netflix described the show, which will be produced by Meghan, as “a genre of lifestyle programming that blends practical instruction and honest conversation with friends, new and old.”
“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, garden and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”

“I just don’t get Meghan Markle, man. She’s all like: ‘Oh no, the paparazzi are the worst, they totally invade my privacy’, but then she goes and makes a reality show about her family and friends. Like, what about that?” examined one person on X.
“No one wants to watch an hour-long Instagram Trad Wife Clip starring Meghan Markle,” read another post.

Although Meghan turned off comments on her Instagram post, many celebrities showed their support by liking the post, including Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen.
