In her latest project with Netflix\u2014a lifestyle and cooking show called With Love, Meghan<\/em>\u2014Meghan Markle presents herself as a hands-on mom who whips up adorable fruit platters, tea party sandwiches, and neatly arranged veggie trays for her kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It all looks like something out of a Pinterest dream.<\/p>\n

But hold up\u2014her recent interview with The New York Times<\/em> tells a slightly different story. Meghan admitted that in real life, especially on busy days, she turns to kid-approved, quick-fix meals like frozen chicken nuggets, veggie burgers, and Tater Tots. So yeah, not quite the fancy snack spreads we saw on Netflix.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, that cozy-looking kitchen from her show? Turns out, the New York Times<\/em> chat didn\u2019t happen on that set. Instead, it took place in her real kitchen at her home in Montecito, California, where she lives with Prince Harry and the kids. Her mom, Doria Ragland, was also there, joining in on the conversation.<\/p>\n

Meghan was pretty upfront about not being a trained chef or some kind of domestic goddess. She said she\u2019s just like any other working parent\u2014juggling jobs, kids, and everything in between. \u201cI need to work,\u201d she said. \u201cI love<\/em> to work.\u201d She even mentioned she\u2019s been working since she was 13. So when dinner rolls around, it\u2019s often about speed and convenience more than Instagram-worthy plating.<\/p>\n

She also didn\u2019t shy away from addressing the backlash her show\u2019s been getting. Critics have pointed out the contrast between her supposedly down-to-earth image and the polished, picture-perfect life shown on-screen. Meghan pushed back, saying that the glamorous life people see now isn\u2019t the full picture. Gesturing to the peaceful view from her home and her snoozing pets, she said, \u201cDon\u2019t they know my life hasn\u2019t always been like this?\u201d<\/p>\n

The interview came around the same time she launched a new lifestyle brand called As Ever<\/em>. The first products\u2014like raspberry jam, flower sprinkles, herbal teas, and wildflower honey\u2014sold out within minutes. So clearly, she\u2019s still got that star power when it comes to selling things.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, despite the glitz and the shows, Meghan seems to be saying, \u201cHey, I\u2019m just another mom trying to make it all work.\u201d And sometimes, that means popping nuggets in the oven instead of slicing up cucumber sandwiches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
